It was your lad Lenny!

Sar posted him for you on the DFW Advent Calendar thread in 2006 and Rog2 said he would have the photo brought out every year as he grew up, so I thought i'd do the honours this year as it's such a lovely photo.

No probs

I dread looking at that Grabbit board.....cost me a blinkin fortune (saves me more though )

Right
I whole heartily agree with Luc and Jinks re. self love etc. in fact, I *try* to adhere to it-I wasn't always such a needy person....


I went from being a successful, bright, attractive person (read thin) with the world in front of me-anything I put my mind to I achieved, easily. (Im not being big headed, I was just like that)

I had a happy marriage, a lovely home, a good job, etc etc etc

Then I got pregnant and all my dreams seemed to be coming true-I has always wanted kids, we had planned and got pregnant quickly-life was good...until hormones came into play.

I gained stone after stone in my pregnancy, was unhappy and if I had noticed, was depressed. I felt 'out of control' for the first time in ymlife-my spending spiralled, my weight spiralled and I was so unhappy. I felt ugly, ungainly and not 'me'.

I carried on-spending eating, unhappier and unhappier with each day-but no realising.

Then DD was born, beautiful, healthy and a good baby-what did I have to be ungrateful for? DH was (is) a perfect father, helpful etc but I was getting more down-it took me until she was 5 months to figure out I was depressed.

I finally got kind of back on track and promptly fell pregnant again-this time as above but soooooooo much worse.

So, I have a beautiful happy, healthy family and I wasn't that vibrant smiley, optimistic Bunny I used to be-I was a fat, frumpy hormonal Mum. I didnt have anything I excelled at-then I had to tell DH I had managed to spend my way into astronomical debt.

So...self esteem? Well, I lost it. Somewhere in becoming a Mom and not 'Bunny' anymore...

I'm slowly gfetting there but the person my Dh sees now isnt the person he feel in love with.

I know I need to get back to being 'me' again but these pesky hormones seem to have other ideas-so I seek reassurance-please tell me Im who I used to be....



Well, this was depressing. Sorry for the ramble. Did it make sense?

Bun you are never gonna be the old you though......a new you yes.

You have had all these things happen in your life, so you couldnt possibly be the same person.

I know you think you want to be........but you are fabulous as you are.
You are bright,warm,caring.slightly mad funny gorgeous and sexy.....whats not to like?
