Fat, ashamed and lonely

Hey all! The title a bit dramatic. The most important part: lonely.
Recently my family has made great new wounds in me, therefore we don't really talk now.
My husband is very-very supportive, but he has a preference, which I cannot comply with. Recently we talked about gain loss and that he'd have an expectation from me to loose weight. I'm already a bigger girl, but with pregnancy, all the kilos are just piling up. This whole situation distanced me from him too.
Don't really have friends who I could call, I don't have any friendship which I would feel comfortable to lie on.

To sum it all: I feel very lonely and on top of that ashamed of my body.
Did any of you have some kind of same issue? If yes, how do you handle it or how did you handle it?

Thanks for the answers!

Re: Fat, ashamed and lonely

  • I am so sorry you feel this way. I’ve really been struggling with my body image. I am about an inch taller than my husband and wi the the gaining weight I just feel huge. I just went down to Florida to visit my family and my sister has an eating disorder and lives in palm beach and it really messed with me. She also doesn’t understand pregnancy really at all (she asked me if I still get a period) and some of her comments about me “eating all the time” brought me down even further. 
    I’ve found that if I go for my walk everyday it makes me feel strong and good about myself. 
    I’m sorry if this wasn’t super helpful, just want you to remember you aren’t alone if you are feeling certain ways about your body. 
  • Thank you, I'll try this method. I've been training too, but nowadays I just feel it's useless.
    Maybe you are right and I should just keep going.
