This postcard is from PostSecret, a blog where you can anonymously mail in your deepest, darkest secrets. They even made a book out of them you can buy on Amazon. I, however, took this picture and the one below from one of my favorite blogs, “OMG We’re Pregnant!” It’s a husband and wife who became unexpectedly pregnant and write anonymously about their journey.
I had just been thinking about this whole “getting fat” thing when “OMG We’re Pregnant” posted that postcard on their blog. Perfect timing. Anyway.. this is what it’s like:
Skinny = good. Fat = bad. Basically. That’s what you’re taught your whole life, right??? I’ve never obsessed, or even really worried, about my weight, but probably because I’ve always been fairly small…It’s extremely weird to me that it’s suddenly OK to be gaining weight.
I’m at the in-between stage… I don’t look pregnant yet, but I’m gaining weight, losing my waist and getting a belly. To outsiders, I just look like I’m getting chubby. And I love that postcard above because, as sad as it is, I absolutely know there are people out there who are thinking that (proof: someone out there made and mailed in that postcard).
I know, I know, I’m pregnant! But still… if you’re happy I’m fat, I can’t wait until you get pregnant.

Hello! Thanks for reading, liking and referencing! I am still at that stage too, and am not at all comfortable with my body, and as you know from reading the blog, quickly tiring of the ‘jokes’ about my body. But hey ho, what’s a girl to do. I am just over 18 weeks now… and in the last week my bump has def’ become bigger, but its still not that obvious. Luckily, I am not getting big all over.… well not yet anyway! And you’re right, it’s weird for it to be suddenly okay to get bigger.… very weird.
Good luck with your pregnancy! x
