Post partum bodies! Please read full thread
Can we normalise REAL post partum bodies please. I'm sick of being asked how I am going to loose my baby weight? How am I going to get back into shape? What creams I am using to get rid of stretch marks?
Piss off.

I was told it would not be possible to carry a child due to the damage my eating disorder had done to my reproductive system. We are overwhelmed with what we have managed to produce.
The last thing my body needs is to be manipulated, punished and starved.

My body has done an incredible job over 9 months, it needs to be cared for, nourished & loved.
I have seen so many # insta perfect post partum bodies. I am also being targeted by adverts to join weight loss programmes enticing me to hate what my body has becone.

Recovery truth
I'm not going to lie. It is hard. The most difficult & most painful thing I have ever done. To constantly fight against that voice, the voice which controlled every element of my life for far too long. The tears, confusion and pure exhaustion.

The voice still appears from time to time, in times when I am feeling a little vunerable or anxious. The voice will try to lure me back in, using different ways and weak spots to get to me.
The latest way it's trying to lure me in is attacking my postpartum body. Nothing fits my body is still healing, it needs time. The temptation to loose weight quickly, resort to old behaviours & the voice whispering, you have done it before, you can do it again, it's easy really.
❤️ I am giving it my all. Diet culture has reared its ugly head, I am being targeted by alll the 'post baby body' dieting ads.😮❤️My body has been through so much over the last nine months. It has changed a lot, in order to create the most beautiful gift I could ever wish for.1/3
The last thing I am going to do is put it under more stress by trying to manipulate it. ❌
👍Instead I am going to allow my body to heal, nourish my body with food and thank it for the amazing job it has done. ❤️
Our bodies really are bloody amazing 💕💕 2/3

It has taken me a few weeks to process this.
Let me tell you a conversation I had with a Dr recently. Had to visit & get checked over general pregnancy niggles, they had to check my BMI.

Dr: Oh Mrs Burnett you are measuring obese, we need to look at diet plans, I can suggest the new better health app, a calorie defecit & exercising.
Me: But I am 8 & a half months pregnant & recovering from an ED.

1st of all of course I am going to be weighing more a tiny human is growing inside me, I could pop any day now. 2nd I was discharged from ed services in Jan, suggesting I diet is not a good idea. I know I would spiral quite quickly and my priority is staying well for little one
Last year I jumped out of a plane for the amazing charity @beatED raising an amazing £2200
I would not be here without their help and support I desperately wanted to give something back to the charity that helped both myself and my husband. (1)

Leaving behind ED & facing my ultimate fears. I'm scared of flying & heights, so if I can face them I can face any fear ED threw at me. I thoroughly recommend this! I'm aware things aren't exactly running normally at the min, but why not look into some fundraising for next year?
