Thank you. I feel so seen.
Thank you for sharing such a personal experience with us Clare. Birthing is often a huge physical and psychological trauma, and you're right, we sometimes dissociate because it's for survival. Not your fault at all, we get the birth experience we get regardless of our prep or lack thereof. Sending love.
@gu3st and not even all their body parts, just their vaginas apparently 🤣
So determined to not be a cliche, but a hard done by husband who wants more out of life. That itself is such a cliche.
Oh wow, just about everything you said resonated so strongly with me (except the jeans thing - I'm not just fat but an odd shape apparently, and even when I was half the size I am now I could never find jeans that sat right on me).
Thank you for publishing this. I can still remember the misery of this condition with both my pregnancies, even though my children are now 28 and 25. I wanted my children very much, but the pregnancies were torture. My mental health suffered terribly, and nobody seemed to know what to do with me. I felt like losing it whenever anyone suggested 'eating a dry cracker before getting up in the morning'. It wasn't normal morning sickness!
What a disgusting thing to do to you! No different to assault. I'm so sorry this happened and that there was no action taken. Definitely something that the law should be addressing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@montanah this!
Oh I hear you! I have terrible insomnia, and on work days I have to get up at around 5am so tend to average 4-5 hours sleep a night. Weekends, I automatically wake up at 5, feed the cat (OK so it's more that she wakes me up than that I automatically wake up), then go back to bed and get the best sleep of my week. Early commitments are a big sacrifice.
I'm glad you included the concealer even though they're about the same price, because the selling point for me is that MCo Beauty is cruelty free.
@little lucy exactly this!
Oh I remember this so well and my kids are now 27 and 25.
Oh I hear you 🤣
Gotta what what people's lives are like if they could be bothered saying such nasty things about someone they could easily ignore or scroll past.
What a horrible ordeal! Good for you for standing firm and for thinking of other plus sized passengers who don't have the power of the published written word the way you do. Nobody should have to suffer indignity because of the shape or size of their body. I'm still struggling, in my 50s, to remember that I'm just as worthy of respect as a thin person is. You're my hero.
Oh wow. I mean, upselling in a general way is one thing (annoying but I get why they're taught to do it). Actually pointing out something that could be a sore point is really tactless. I hope they're not taught to do that.
I'm boiling with rage at this boss, with clearly nothing going on in their life. OMG!
This is one of those pieces that I'll keep thinking about at random moments for days and laughing out of the blue and people will think I'm on strange meds 🤣🤣🤣
My picks are 1st or 3rd. Neither are earthy but honestly, if these friends are good friends they might need to understand that the world hasn't come far enough yet that we larger bodied dress wearers have a lot to choose from.
