What height are you?
You may be overweight, you may be perfect but what really matters isnt your weight, it's how you feel.

bitch1000 · 02/03/2008 22:13

VictorianSqualor · 02/03/2008 22:16

I'm 5'8'' and at a size 14 certainly wasnt particularly overweight so it's not lieke you're huge.
It's more a confidence issue IMO than a weight issue.

bitch1000 · 02/03/2008 22:16

fairyfly how do u do that

OP posts:
runningonplenty · 02/03/2008 22:17

Hi b-1000 - boobs are a sore point after children generally but they are even worse after weight loss! For me anyway!

I put on loads of weight after my little one and didnt lose it until she was 2! ITs hard finding time for yourself - but if its something you feel you need to do - then you could try exercize videos? Nell Mcandrews one is excellent.

dinny · 02/03/2008 22:18

what size were you pre child/ren? 14 isn't huge but if you used to be an 8/10, then you will be feeling much bigger than you are used to....

bitch1000 · 02/03/2008 22:19

thank-you for the advice, you have help a need to build my cofidence up victoriansqualor

I agree with fairyfly, you need a new name. I am sure you are not a bitch.

Aside from that, I have seen loads of friends start diets/exersize regimes when their babies were about 18mths. I think that it is the moment when we take our heads out of the nappy bin, look around and notice that there is more to life than just being a mum.

I am a size 14 - 16 and only 5' 3. I would like to lose some more weight. (I was a size a year after DS's birth)

Do you do any sport?

bitch1000 · 02/03/2008 22:24

am not a bitch its the only name a cud think of really

bitch1000 · 02/03/2008 22:29

a used to be a size ten before a had my daughter, i feel that a have put on alot of weight since ive had her too, find it hard to do stuff threw the day as my daughter never has a nap, then by nite time am tired myself am a lone parent

OP posts:
Kindersurpise · 02/03/2008 22:38

Do you have anyone who could take her for an hour to let you have some time alone?

It does get easier, I promise you. Once the DCs were a bit older and going to nursery I had much more time. I joined a gym and lost some weight and started feeling better about myself.

tegan · 02/03/2008 22:40

I am a size 14 and only 5'2" i weigh 10stone 11 and am classed as over weight. I would like to be a size 12 and lose a stone but dh can't get enough of me when i am bigger and i love my huge tits.
They always go first if i diet

dinny · 02/03/2008 22:48

can you join a gym with a creche? ure you'd feel better with some time to exercise and just time to yourself. both mine really seemed to like the gym creche when they were little...

bigbumhole · 02/03/2008 22:53

You are not big IMO, not at 5foot8 and size 14. If you want a more in depth info report, go to Boots they have a BMI machine, you can have your hight, weight, BMI and body fat % for 70p.

I can however sympathize with you, i was a size 8 pre-kids, now im a size 16ish, (5foot8 and 13 stone), i feel like a fat whale and i have hardly any clothes that fit me It does get me down but im now doing weight watchers and so far lost 3lb (in a week), slow but its a good start. Have you thought of doing something like that?

fairyfly · 02/03/2008 22:58

Yes but the question is, is Bitch1000 a thousand times a Bitch and do you really have an enormous anus?
