Sorry if I upset you feely I really didn't intend to upset any one
I try (and succeed mostly) to not think it but as I say I was sort of brainwashed by my mum. For as long as I can remember she has told me n sis that we should never get big like her and constantly reinforced the idea that its a bad thing to be fat.

I know you well enough to know you are lovely and wouldn't hurt anyone. I'm quite sensitive about my weight and wouldn't want you to think I'm gross.

My mother is very much the same way, and she comments on my weight all the time - when Molly was five days old she was commenting that now I wasn't pregnant she'd expect me to be thinner

I take it as her self-hatred expressed outwards and ignore it. My biggest concern with heavy people is that if I like them I worry about their health, but if I know they're healthy then their weight isn't going to bother me.

Thank you, I don't think you are gross, I think/know you are lovely

:eek: 5 days!!

I agree with your 2nd paragraph totally.
As long as my friends are happy with their weight whatever it is I'm happy.
I just have to ignore the little mum voice in my head.

My mum is exactly the same so I know what you mean.
But i'm genetically different. Mum, and all of the women on her side of the family are 5' nothing and big, my little sister is exactly the same shape. I'm from my dads side, taller and slimmer. Mum has spent her life going to WW or SW and has got down to her 'ideal' weight more times than I can remember, but once she starts eating normally again she goes back to her normal weight.

She always used to tell me she was slim until she had me - but if you look back at photos of her in her teens, she's far from slim.

Clever Poppie :T:T:T

We've been for needles today, and she didn't even cry, my big brave girl.

We also got weighed for the first time since June, 22lbs 3oz or 10.05 kg for the younger mums. MFD do you think Benjamin will beat that?

I asked about the 10-12 month check-up. HV said they're a little bit behind at the moment, but should see her between 2 and 2 1/2! :eek:
