  I feel you - people would compliment me about how "good" I looked, how they couldn't believe I was back in my regular non-maternity skinny jeans, and I hated it! All of that is just a reminder of what you have lost! I am so sorry! The first few weeks are the hardest. (( hugs))

  After our loss I intentionally overate because I wasnt ready to let go of my baby weight. Looking back I know how unhealthy that was, but it hurt so damn much seeing my "normal" body when I should have still been pregnant. Sorry your feeling this way now. Big hugs!

  I was back to non-maternity clothes the next week, and I hated it. People complemented me and I wanted to punch them. Its definitely a difficult reminder.

  Funny you should say that, as I'm eating right out of the Ben and Jerry's carton in hopes of making my hips go away again. I dont have much of an appetite but there is always room for ice cream!

  I am so sorry   Having things go back to 'normal' all around us is so difficult to understand when NOTHING feels normal anymore. 
  
  I had a similar experience pp and was totally taken aback.  I couldn't eat anything besides a bite or two a day so when I was weighed at a 2 wk pp visit, I was already below my pre-pregnancy weight.  With awful morning sickness, I had only gained a net of 8 lbs, so and having lost it all plus more was devastating.  I wore only yoga pants and sweatshirts for a good month because I couldn't bear putting on my regular clothes.

  ***SIGGY***
  
  
  I was amazed at how quickly I dropped the pregnancy weight. I was back in my regular clothes 2-3 weeks after Devon was born sleeping. A part of me was relieved I could pack up my maternity clothes and shove them in the back of a closet, but a part of me was pissed that I was back in a regular pair of jeans when I should have been 38-39 weeks pregnant. It just wasn't fair. Such a hard thing to deal with. *hugs*

  (((Hugs))). I remember getting back to pre-pregnancy size quickly and feeling such mixed emotions about it. Though I wanted to be glad to have lost the baby weight quickly, it was such a painful reminder of what should have been. Sending so many (((hugs))).

  Not for nothing but I'm a little jealous of all of you returning to your pre-pregnancy weight. While I in the last 3 months haven't lost a pound and instead gained 10. Now that I'm 7 months away from my wedding, I'm determined to return to the weight I was before I met my Husband.
  
  I'm sorry that your pre-pregnancy weight reminds you of your loss... But stuffing your face in hopes to keep the idea of your pregnancy at the forefront of your mind isn't the best strategy either. ((Hugs)) to you all.

  I feel you. I was back in pre pg clothes right away and someone telling me I "looked great" was NOT what I wanted to hear. A week before I was being told how "great" I looked with a baby bump and I would have much rather had those compliments.

  Married August 20th, 2005 to the love of my life.

  1st BFP August 6th, 2010. Missed MC discovered at 13 weeks. 

  2nd BFP January 5th, 2011. Beautiful Harper born September 28th, 2011.

  3rd BFP March 15th, 2013. Treated with methotrexate for ectopic pg at 7 weeks.

  4th BFP August 2nd, 2013. Sweet Micah born sleeping at 21 weeks with full T13. 5th BFP July 1st, 2014. Praying for a healthy, full term rainbow!

  @TwinkleTor Im with you. I Haven't lose anything. I have even being going to the gym. I only gained 15lbs but I can't seem to get rid of it. Especially because people still look at my stomach with that questioning look.

  
  

  I also bought no summer clothes, and so when we went to Florida for a few days, I brought one of my maternity shorts and it was so heartbreaking, wearing them and know I wasn't pregnant.
