This is going to be long….
my family has really been through the mill over the last few years. My d got pregnant at 20 and the dad wanted nothing to do with her or the baby but she decided she wanted that baby and we totally supported her. (Our grandson is over 2 and amazing) anyway not long after she announced her pregnancy we found out our other daughter was self harming which later led to 3 a suicide attempts! All that going on, daughter taken out of school and home schooled and (quickly touches wood) she has been harm free for over 18 months! Then we find out our son is self harming and is now refusing to go to school as his anxiety is so bad… so even more stress!
Ive been diagnosed with very mild copd, am menopausal and have just got over a bad case of shingles and the weight has piled on! I gave up vaping after Copd diagnoses and food has been a comfort and the food noise is real!
tonight I tried talking to my husband about how much I hate my body, how unhappy I am as no clothes fit, been to docs and I’m eligible for mounjaro (not that I’m sure I want it) but wait list is ages so I thought I’d discuss with my husband.
well I wish I hadn’t bothered, he just went off on one how it’s not an easy fix (I know that) just tell your brain to stop thinking of food and go to the gym! It’s that simple!!
I said he has no idea what it’s like to have people ask if your having another baby his reply was … wait for it…. ‘Maybe you are pregnant’ so he clearly thinks I look pregnant!! I’m 45 have an implant and let’s face it, you need to have sex to get pregnant!
im so pissed off and upset at how he just went off, I never said I wanted to pay for mounjaro I just wanted a conversation about how I’d got on at doctors!
even if he had just said, why don’t we sign up to a gym, I’ll eat better and exercise with you and if that doesn’t work we can re visit! Nope I just get an arsehole response!!
if you made it to end of my massive rant… thank you 🥰
