I am sad that I was unable to lose this gut before getting pregnant again. I lost 55 pounds post DS #1 but I am all of a sudden so sad that I can't see when I will begin showing and stuff. I have the go ahead to keep losing very safely, provided the baby is growing properly (not dieting but eating very well and moving a lot) and all will be fine in the end. But I was just suddenly so bummed by that realization.
Re: Being plus sized...
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I know while we all have different struggles with our weight and appearance, the weight gain is something most of us struggle with no matter what size we start from.

I had dreams of losing 30+ pounds before getting pregnant. Well, 6 months of 5 days a week in the gym and a good diet and I lost a whopping 6 pounds. In a backwards way, I'm glad that I'm pregnant because it more-or-less eliminates the "must lose weight" conversation my brain keeps having, for now, but at the same time, I'm still super bummed because, even though I know its normal and healthy to gain weight for pregnancy, it just makes me more depressed because I'll have that much more to lose afterwards.
Ugh.
well, I'm there with you. I am a size 22/24... I wanted to be a size 18/20 when I get pregnant. just remember, we may not get the bump as early - but we get it just as well! My Mom was about 300 when she had me and she had a very visible belly.
Just be happy we don't have to buy the VERY limited, usually not cute maternity clothes as quickly. (Sorry, I just tried to find a plus size dress last night. I was upset)
