G22, I can accept you weren't trying to be difficult, but as others have said, there is some confusion as to your original post and others since with you sending mixed messages about what you're hoping to get out of this thread. You made the comment

I understand and can sympathise with ladies who have weight problems after pregnancy but not other younger girls.
and then later said

Once again, I have never had weight problems. Never felt the need to lose or gain. I could have had this conversation with my friends who do not have children but it wouldn't be the same as my body had undergone changes whereas they haven't yet.

So, are you trying to understand pre or post baby image issues? And I am really struggling to understand why you have started this thread considering you state you have no body issues (which the last quote alone doesn't suggest) or the inkling to gain or lose weight.

Please help us to understand what you are trying to achieve/learn so we can do that without feeling judged.

Bron - PMSL - love what you wrote about ice-cream! I'll never look at a tub of ice cream the same way again!
