Hi ladies! I am 38w and I've gained 23kg during my pregnancy. I started off at 58kg, and was generally happy with my body. I suffered from really bad pre-natal depression and I turned to food, even though I used to be a really clean eater. I'm now 83kg and I honestly don't remember what I used to look like. Every inch of my body is enormous, my face doesn't look like mine and I even have neck fat! I'm only 5"6 so this weight gain just has completely changed me. I've tried so hard to keep positive but I feel so disgusting when I look in the mirror, I've avoided seeing friends for months now because I feel so self conscious. I'm really worried that I'll never go back to how I used to be? I know I have a lot of water because my hands look like the hulk! I would LOVE to hear if any of you guys gained this much weight and if you were able to lose it all and how long it took? Don't mean to sound vain and I know its all worth it I am just so bored of feeling so horrible about the way I look! Thanks so much in advance for any positive success stories!! xxx
