Kids can be so brutal 🙈 Just spent some time with a 2.5 year-old. She kept staring obsessively at my gut and ran towards me to bounce against it. Then, when it was time to go to bed, she waddled and stomped heavily, saying she was "a really, really fat person" 😅🫣

At lunchtime yesterday, I overheard colleagues discussing their current and previous pregnancies. They were talking about how cumbersome it is to move with such a big belly... that the relief is so great when it's back to normal/ish... how they can't bend over, pick stuff off the floor, tie their shoelaces. And I was just sitting there, thinking how that is my constant reality, and my belly isn't going anywhere whether I want it gone or not 🫣😅

Sitting in the break room at work... the chair is creaking and wobbling ominously - I'm afraid to move 😅 Pray for me and this chair 🙏

I often have to adjust my belly when I take a seat. I don't think much about it until I'm in public - trying to do so discretely really isn't possible 😅🙈 "Yes, I'm listening - excuse me while I just lift my gut and set it down on my thighs" 😂

I could certainly do with some assistance cutting my toenails, as I can't reach over my gut 🙈

May or may not have gotten stuck in a lawn chair at my parents today 😅 At least I didn't have an audience when the whole thing came with me as I stood up 🫣

Daily "i'm fat" reminders

Am I the only who spends too much time longingly scrolling through menus on delivery apps, daydreaming about all the food I'd order if I had the money? Just me? Okay then 😶 Excuse me while I picture all the sushi and greasy stir frys I crave 🤤

Daily "i'm fat" reminders

I had 2 people helpfully point out one of my shoelaces had come undone. Thank you, stranger - I'm well aware. I just simply can't reach to tie them while I'm wearing them 🙈

Anyone here use diapers because of their "situation"

I was at a festival where my friend had set up a bar in an old historic building. She asked me to watch it for her while she went to fetch something - not necessarily get behind it, but just let any customers know she'd be back soon. That's when it hit me I couldn't have made it behind the bar if I tried - the space between the side of the bar and the stone wall was cramped, but not something I would've though twice about before... now I wouldn't have the slightest chance 🙈🙈🙈

Somehow, I've fooled myself into thinking I don't really waddle... but then I see myself on some candid video, wondering who's that massive fatty waddling gut first.. - oh, that's me! 😳🐷

At the hairdressers, the chairs at the wash station were basically tilted back like beds, but not adjustable. Getting myself up and laying back in them went okay, but I knew I'd struggle getting up. Then the hairdresser wanted me to hold the towel around my hair - meaning I only had one hand free to try and pull myself up. I utterly failed, stuck on my back like a beached whale, until the hairdresser actually pushed me from behind 😬🙈 At least the other chairs were roomy and comfortable 😅

I think I need to look into getting a seat belt extender, but I'd need to keep it in my bag always 🙈 An acquaintance offered me a ride home, but I couldn't get myself buckled in... she had to grab the belt and struggle to lock it in. Safe to say I was sitting snugly when she managed it 😅
