to think the universe wants my bum to be big?

Having always been 'ahem' big boned the size of my arse has been something I have learnt to love, but the events of the last year has led to an increse that might be the deemed unacceptable even by my own standards.

During my pregnancy last year the different parts of my pelvis decided that they could no longer get along unless expensively cracked into place by a nice osteo man on a weekly basis. Which lead to the last four months of my pregnancy spent on couch or walking very slowly like John Wayne.

I gained a lot of weight due to the unactivity, but as soon as ds was born I spurred into action and lost nearly all of the weight (2 and a half stone of the 3 by breast feeding and lots of dance classes).
However my thyroid has given up the ghost and during the misrable 6 weeks that I didn't realise I put back almost all of the weight I lost.

Would I be unreasonably to just give up allow the universe its way as sod all weight seems to be shifting despite now being on thyroxine.
Please no comments from people who just 'bounced back into shape'.

You have a throid condition! It's not your fault - you have done everything you could possibly do and then you discover you have a medical condition.

It will come off if the thyroid levels are right and it will take a longer time - keep going to the classes and go much easier on yourself. Smile

I never bounced back, I just bounced.

With no medical reason its very hard to get back into shape for many many people. With your thyroid condition its a lot harder.

Staying healthy and fit is going to be a life long experience, and your bum might always be on the big side (I have a big bum, I like it, its my tummy that leaves me sad) but I think it would make you happier to keep at the healthy living than to say sod it, get bigger, overeat and be miserable.

I feel for you. YWBU to let the universe win.
