I’m 5.5 months pregnant and feel massive haha.

i have a mental health history with eating disorders for over 10 years, managed to get it sort of controlled in that I stopped counting calories, weighing food etc but falling pregnant threw me off as I started doing less (can’t gym as much or hard) and snacking more (nausea got me). It became REALLY hard

but, soon as baby started wriggling, everything changed. If I don’t feel like going gym, I don’t. If I feel crap I leave it and go home. I can relax, and not stress about the food or how much. I don’t binge anymore. It’s so freeing.

I didn’t think I’d get here, but I’m here. My baby has changed my priorities, and I thank god for that.

if you’re struggling, just remember there’s a baby in your belly. Your body is doing AMAZING things. It’s working damn hard. Any weight gained you will lose, but only because you want to and not because you have to

i just wanted to express this, because I didn’t think I’d get here and I hope it might help even one other who might be struggling internally

Happy for you OP :)

It's amazing how those little things growing inside us change our priorities. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and the arrival of your little one x

That's brilliant news. Eating disorders take over your life and can be awful to live with. How the body changes with pregnancy is incredible but can be so difficult to take on, and even more so if you have struggled with body image. I'm really glad to hear your little one is having such a positive impact though! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy
