food baby is a'comin!!
Last night laying in bed I said, fuck it. I'm going to do this and do it right. I'll leave when they tell me I am medically steady and ready. It will be fine. They do agree with the weight though- my dietitian on my first day asked me my goals for here, what I feel my weight should get up to, etc. I said well for now I know it needs to be a minimum of 110 which I have to do here. If it's over, okay. Eventually sometime down the road 115-120 is probably more realistic for my body type. You know, 115 actually sounds okay. DUH i'm scared to shit though!!! Things come with time though.
Today was the hardest foodwise. I was trying to focus on taste and texture of the food, but half way though would get distracted by my fullness. At the end of lunch and dinner I was to the point off fullness where I felt like I could not move, and then got extremely tired. I have a nice little food baby going now :) :)
Question: I know with the refeeding usually the weight adds on to your stomach first and then eventually evenly is distributed through your body as it is natural for your individual body. But I never really knew what the time line for that was? Any ideas? Just curious!!

I was about 6 -7 months pregnant in IP and at home. Now at the end of day I\'m about 5 months pregnant but during the day in clothes it\'s barely visible. I took the baby belly pretty well since it\'s not my trouble spot. For me it\'s my hips and thighs so I wish it would have all stayed in my gut. Just know it will distribute in time. It will hurt in your tummy and it will even be uncomfy sleepy but it will all get better. You are doing great. Awesome attitude.
what a great attitude you have now, i love it. happy you have come to terms with staying and stating the weight you should be, even though its scary. ill give the board to karin on the belly issue, i have no expereince. you can and will succeed.
