I look at shape of a mother and wonder how I could ever be happy with any of those post-baby bodies, even the best ones. I feel that I look the best I will ever look because I am 100% satisfied with every aspect of my body both physically (even objectively) and for how good it is to me, and have nothing to complain about. I love it all. I feel lucky, grateful, and rare to feel this way, and I wonder if there are women like me who went on to have kids that could say the exact same before AND after having them (besides celebrities).

My brother died 8 years ago and I gained a lot of weight. In the past 2 years I've actually lost weight (25 pounds). I should feel good about that but I'm still so discouraged.

i think about going into 'starvation" mode again to lose 200 lbs.

I can do this!

I recently realized that my eating disorder is stunting my growth... and I don't care. I'd rather be thin than tall.

every morning i eat three egos, around 11 am i eat a bag of m&ms, at lunch its either chickfila or pizzahut, dinner always consist of a massive amount of calories and i never go to bed without dessert...i weigh 125 pounds. i think my friends hate me.

I starved myself to lose 20 lbs and gained it back plus 50(baby weight). I was depressed but i look great! Now I'm seriously reconsidering doing it again if it means losing 20+bls.

I love having carried our child but at the same time resentful that I can't drop the baby weight no matter how hard i try. So now I'm the fat 5'4 190lbs, exactly were i didn't want to be, a fat housewife.

Soup. If you want to lose weight eat soup. It's filling and low calorie. I lost 50 pounds last summer (175-125, 5'4") by counting calories (working out too) and most of them were soup. It's also easy to digest and oh so good! Campbell's chicken tortilla and spicy chicken gumbo are the best.

I pray to GOD I never go missing for fear of the weight they'd put on my missing persons poster!
