Weight

[mrsswinnydm]

Just feeling a little (a lot) fed up about my size. I know it’s all related etc and I know it can seem quite superficial but surely not the only one who gets down about this…on top of alllllll the pain 😢

Isn’t it pants ? Pain, nausea, appetite issues hormones round the loop, feel like you have to pull it together to be anywhere etc and to boot either your clothes don’t fit because the illness makes our metabolism and weight all over the place. Exercise frankly from being super active to sofa slug doesn’t help. However also know that many women’s relationship with their “homestead “ is less than resolved also. It can feel utterly demoralising. One of my wishes is just to feel my body is at least one side and I try to be kind to myself. Tears oft well but each day amidst all the managing of this process I aim to find some beauty . Even on the darkest of days. Know you’re not alone and understand we are not judging each other’s physic. This body of mine is doing it’s absolute best to cope and I seek to treasure it with something lovely and comforting. There are days where the winning post seems nowhere in sight but others where a glimpse of glory is possible. Hope you feel easier soon xx

What an amazing reply. Thank you. You summed it all up so well. I am very much looking forward to the day I can get properly moving again and not feel like I’m about 40 years older than I actually am!! Just gets me down sometimes. BUT! Like you say, this body has grown 2 beautiful boys and is just doing it’s best with this whole shitty situation.
