baiza - hang in there honey - it gets easier. for me this pg has gone on forever as I've never been fat or felt so tired all the time.. I can't rembemer what wine or coffee even tastes like... ... or what is is like to make love to my husband without feeling something in-between. My new body feels like it is here to stay and it is just something I'm not that comfortable with... it does not look like me in the mirror...

I have a count down on my wall of how many weeks left to go, (16) and each night I think, I''ve made it through one more day... and it is one less day till I hold my beautiful daughter... when it gets tough, I think just like morning sickness, "this will pass" and the rewards will be great. In the meantime, the girls are right, find a hobby or for me, as I'm super busy at work and could not think of anythign worst than trying to fit a hobby in, it was having something to look forward to each day - at 3pm I have a cup of tea and a peice of fruit cake, I know it sounds stupid, but it is my little treat each day and I really look forward to it.

It is imporatant to enjoy at least one thing each day, so try to treat yourself, with a walk in the sunshine, or a treat, or pedicure or something nice - you deserve it!

it does get easier, I'm starting to accept my new size, and although I don't LOVE it, it is easier to live with each day. .. and hey, "this will pass"...
