Someone offered me a seat on the train this morning and...

the best part is that i never was offered them when i WAS pregnant.

I had a HUGE belly and some people even asked if I was carrying twins but DS was just really tall (just under 23 inches) so he pushed my belly out far but i always stood on that hour train ride even at 9 months

But this is the 2nd time in 2 months that someone has looked at me up and down and offered me a seat, this morning it was a woman.

i am 8 months P/P and i know i put on a ton of weight when i was PG and still have not lost it all but I am trying and i just started kickboxing 2 weeks ago and i do the best i can with working full time and taking care of DS and the house. it made me so sad to think i still look PG and to be honest i didnt think this dress that i am wearing at work today even made me look to fat, its lose with patterns that distract.

I hate being this weight and i hate feeling this way. I love hearing its even worse after your 2nd one if i cant even get my body back after the first.

Has this ever happened to you? Any suggestions on how to lose the weight?

I felt so dumb i didnt even take the seat and instead i said no thanks and she just looked at me in the med section area with a confused face.

I don't take the train, so that peticular situation never happened to me....

But I have gotten asked many times when I was expecting

The worst part is, half the time my belly was bloated from infertility hormones I also have that post c-section pooch that I don't think will go away for me without surgical intervention after we are 100% done with our family....Until then, I try not to stress too much about it and feel better at least knowing my belly looks the way it does for a good cause and not by overeating ....

Sorry that happened to you

Re: Someone offered me a seat on the train this morning and...

Thanks. oh and i hear you as soon as my family is done its all about the tummy tuck ( I also have the c-section puch) and a lift for these BIG girls that are now flat big pancakes ( I EBF for 6 months)

You are right it was a for a good cause.

How long can we use the i just had a baby excuse do you think?

Just say oh, i just had the baby, thanks. You don't have to let them know it's been 8 months, lol. Your belly will go down

I have been using the "just had a baby" excuse.... and shes 15 months!!!!! hahahah...

As others have said.. at least we can come home and kiss and hug the reasons our bellies have expanded.... I love mine...

I have been kickboxing, running, and just getting into a consistent work out schedule and eating plan and now I am doing well.. back to pre-preggo weight by 8 months pp.. but prepreggo clothes came a bit later.. my whole body changed and spread... good luck!! Most of us have all been there....

This happened to me a few weeks ago while taking a Zumba class:(

The best thing I can tell you to do is join Weight Watchers...it has helped me so much
