Feeling so unattractive

[happymommy82]

Just so you know, I'm venting.....I really need to right now. I'm pregnant and I love the fact that I'm expecting another bundle of joy, but the twice daily heparin shots due to my genetic blood disorder, the almost constant hunger or nausea, and sore breasts are just making me feel gross and unattractive. I'm trying so hard these days to think positive and believe things will get better for us financially and such, but it's hard. I'm the only one working at the moment and it's draining on me, especially with a high risk pregnancy. I feel huge, all the time. I don't like the fact that my already huge breasts have gotten bigger and the newly acquired bruises from all the shots make me look like a pincushion. It doesn't help that I find myself comparing my body to that of all the twiggy little teenage girls I work with at BK. I know I'm a woman with curves and I love my curves sometimes, but on days like today, I want my high school pre hypothyroid body back. I'm not sure what I'm looking for by posting this, maybe some support, maybe some hugs, maybe just someone reaching out. I don't have close girl friends, at least not ones that are truly there for me and I wish I did. Anyways....that's how I'm feeling.

Oh sweetie I'm so sorry that you feel like that. I know that the economy is hard and it's taking it's toll on you and your thought process. You are a beautiful woman and it will get better. It's natural to feel a little down every now and again. Just think that those little "twiggy girls" do not have the beautiful daughter that you have and have another joy coming soon. Think good thoughts today and keep a smile on your face. Try (and I know that it's hard) to focus on the good of everything and not the bad. Things will get better....we must all weather this economic storm and the pregnancy will be a good one for you. Take care and know that you have freinds on here that care!!
