Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Clothes not fitting - vent!
I am just frustrated today...I hate my stupid uterus (yes, uterus, I'm talking to you!) and now I am hating my body. I was doing ww for years and then when we started ttc I sort of fell off the wagon and I went up a few pounds. When we got our bfp in the beginning of march I went up a few more pounds. Since having the m/c at 11 weeks, I have been coping by eating crap and drinking lots of red wine. I know, great for the weight, right? So, here I am, almost 3 weeks since my m/c and NOTHING FITS! The maternity clothes I have are too big (and I don't think I could bring myself to wear them anyways) and my regular clothes are too tight. So, not only do I feel sh*tty about losing the baby, I am having major body image issues too. Okay, vent over, now I want wine.

Re: Clothes not fitting - vent!
I am SO with you. I was ill in the fall with a nerve problem that kept me off my regular exercise routine - then after I got my BFP in February all I could think about was food and sleep, and now after losing my baby (also at 11w) I'm still carrying extra weight - plus the flab from a soft no-baby belly. It's awful. Worse, as motivated as I am to get in shape again (mostly for the sake of TTC) I can't get my a** up to actually do anything about it.
Aaah, red wine is very therapeutic.....and contains antioxidants! There's always plenty of it in our house - c'mon over!!
I am wearing a fat dress today (empire sundress). I don't even want anything touching my skin. I'm at least 3 sizes bigger than I was last year at this time, and refuse to spend money on fat clothes that aren't maternity. ARGH

BFP #2 EDD September 30, 2012 ~ natural m/c 5w4d
broken hearted, changed forever
Yeah, I unzipped my pants even more after lunch. I'm tired of wearing belly bands or having muffin top. I understand not wanting to buy new clothes. I have been looking for summer dresses with empire waists or are wrap dresses. I have found some but returned all buy one; have yet to wear it though.
I have stated in my mind I was going to seriously be exercising this week though. thus far I went to a workout class last night and climbed the 7 flights of stairts to my office this morning. I'll probably go walking after work if it doesn't start to rain.
We love and miss you Jillian (18w) and Peanut (6w). Welcome to our TAC miracle Jacob!

BFP#2 {Almond} - 2.1.11 EDD 10.12.11 C/P 2.11.11
I hear you. I eat pretty healthfully but definitely ate more during the 9 weeks I was pg...since the loss I've been all over the place, food-wise. Trying to get back into my regular eating routine (Zone diet) but finding it difficult not to "treat" myself when I'm feeling blue, which, let's face it, is at least once a day! I refuse to buy bigger clothes unless they are for a baby bump so I have no choice but to really try to kick my bad habits. This was *supposed* to be the back-to-the-gym week too-- but then we were busy getting ready for houseguests, then DH went away for work and it's not like I'm going to go by myself, then today it was raining...and a dozen other excuses are waiting in the wings!
