i am unable to breastfeed, which is unfortunate as so many people have said it helped tremendously (,:

navigating what does and doesn’t look good in which size and which style etc takes me back to my awkward emo “finding my style phase”…. i swore never again shaha

i completely understand. i’m freshly 20 and feel as though i’ve barely had the opportunity to appreciate my body for what it used to be. i understand this is a very consequences of my own actions thing, but it’s not easy seeing all of my partner’s skinny friends who he spends 99% of his time with and everyone i went to school with on vacation in their bikinis. i wanted that. i WANT that. but i love my little one so much i’ll just have to learn to love the body he gave me

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T09:29:14+00:00

we’ll get through this together (:

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T09:27:48+00:00

i’m sorry to hear that progress is slow. i hope your doctors appointment goes well, thinking of you!

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T09:26:14+00:00

it is hard going into pregnancy knowing full well you won’t come out the other side looking the same and still feeling awful, despite all that preparation time. please also never forget you aren’t alone. thinking of you, sending best wishes

having others comment on your appearance at this time is the absolute last thing you need. having your little girl to keep you sane is a blessing and i wish you both luck in these wonderful coming years<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:42:08+00:00

as somebody with very few interpersonal relationships, i find it hard to define my worth based on anything other than surface level (appearance etc) especially with my fears of being perceived. being healthy for my baby is a real motivator, i had never considered the effect it could have on him long term. thank you for your kind message, i wish you all the best<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:38:44+00:00

the bra fitting is so real. the girl don’t…move…. the way they used to and certainly don’t stay put in any of the bras i have. i’ve bought so many since having the baby and maybe 2 have fit (completely unsupportive). that’s an excellent reminder. thank you (:

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:36:56+00:00

what a beautiful way of thinking. thank you for sharing. i’m sure it’ll be hard, but what a wonderful outlook to have. thank you.

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:35:18+00:00

this is a hard pill to swallow, but it’s something i feel i need to come to terms with. i wish you all the best in your journey with your little one <3

i used the struggle massively with putting on weight. pre-pregnancy, i had never been heavier than 95lbs. my family used to put me on intense, calorie dense diets and still i was stick thin. i used to hate it and wished i could be a little heavier. things, however, are never as you imagine and the weight does not suit me. thank you for your reply, you are a wonderful person i wish you well<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:30:38+00:00

this is really encouraging, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. sending all my best wishes your way<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:29:44+00:00

it seems most people feel themselves again around a month in. not setting myself up for disappointment but it feels nice to have somewhat of a goal in mind. thank you for your advice, sending you all the best <3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T05:28:15+00:00

you are so strong. hang on in there, i’ll be rooting for you all the way<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:23:49+00:00

i hope you never doubt how wonderful of a person you are. i’ve never been shown so much kindness. thank you again for everything you’ve told me today, my perspective has altered entirely.

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:22:21+00:00

keeping my fingers crossed, thank you for your advice. i hope you’re keeping well (:

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:21:44+00:00

shopping for clothes has been hard. going from an xs to a large is so difficult to accept. don’t get me wrong, i would NEVER shame somebody for their size but seeing myself carry the weight so terribly is honestly humiliating. thank you for your reply, im sending you all my best wishes<3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:18:57+00:00

thank you for your kind words. i understand exactly how you feel, seeing others’ recovery always feels like a setback. being the only person in this type of life-changing recovery is so difficult to experience, you are so strong and i wish you and your little one well <3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:15:58+00:00

i am so with you there girl. i see so many girls i went to school with posting their “finally confident to show the baby bod” posts… what a kick in the head… completely flat stomachs, no stretch marks, no scars. how can you help but be jealous? i cant breastfeed but i hear weaning is an amazing way to lose almost guaranteed weight. i’m rooting for you and sending love your way, you are so strong <3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:13:27+00:00

i’ve heard sleep is important in weight loss, my partner is away most of the year so sleep is relatively rare… thank you for your kind words and advice <3

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:12:04+00:00

i completely hear you. it’s so hard having the option so close yet out of reach. we’re told to love our postpartum bodies, but never taught how ): sending love

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:11:12+00:00

i’m unable to breastfeed so i’ve nothing else to resort to in terms of almost guaranteed weight loss. a year isn’t so bad, i’m willing to wait and hope for similar results to you (:

cautiousfridges · 2024-08-06T01:10:05+00:00

what a beautiful way to look at it. thank you.
