I fully understand that, however when a fundamental change to your health could potentially change your fertility outcomes, it's a little selfish. Like being annoyed at people who are committed to the gym and working out for having a good body. Fully understand how sad it is for people who have tried everything but just cannot have their own baby.It’s not that you aren’t happy for people announcing pregnancy/birth news - it’s that when you are in the depths of infertility, that news is like a gut punch and a very real reminder that it’s not you, you are happy for them but sad for yourself
Agree 100% I’m around a size 24 now and want to have another baby, or at least try to next year. So I’m making changes now to lose some weight. It’s slow and only small changes but it’s a start. Bobalongwithkirsty has inspired me. You can’t complain about not being able to get pregnant if you’ve ignored the medical advice to lose weight. It’s actually insulting to women who really have done everything they can but still struggleI fully understand that, however when a fundamental change to your health could potentially change your fertility outcomes, it's a little selfish.

Oh yeah I totally agree with that, I was only commenting on the feelings partI fully understand that, however when a fundamental change to your health could potentially change your fertility outcomes, it's a little selfish.

I understand that, I didn’t mean to be insensitive to anyone going through it.It’s not that you aren’t happy for people announcing pregnancy/birth news - it’s that when you are in the depths of infertility, that news is like a gut punch and a very real reminder that it’s not you, you are happy for them but sad for yourself
If she wanted a baby so much but couldn’t lose the weight why not have weight loss surgery? I imagine she could afford it. AND she’d be healthier all round. Being overweight is not a medical condition that prevents her conceiving. There’s lots she could do but has chosen not to. And why does her forehead look so bulbous in that photo?
I wonder will that become a marital problem further down the line. If I was a man and my wife had it within her power to try and lose some weight so we could have help to have our desired baby, and they didn't do it, I think I'd be really hurt, disappointed and probably angry. Then again he could initiate some health improvements himself and encourage her. They both seem to have just thought, we won't even try to get into a position to be eligible for ivf treatment. Regrets may come down the line and anger at each other.Something I have never understood about Laura are her struggles with infertility. I was in that position where we needed ivf and I was too heavy. I made the necessary changes and lost the weight. It wasn’t easy but when it was hard my desire for a baby kept me pushing hard and sweating it out! She has said she needs to lose weight before they will help her but won’t do it. She’d rather be fat than try and lose weight to have a baby. I just can’t fathom that. She is the person who can make her dream happen.
It is like a punch in the gut every time you hear a pregnancy announcement when you’re in that struggle, because of your own grief and sadness.
This is absolutely it. I am always genuinely delighted for friends when they have children, but when I first learn the news, the sadness is immense. Grief over my losses, the reminder of my (self described) failure. It’s complicated. I’ve had a lot of therapy to cope with my situation, and it’s a really normal emotion for people who are childless not by choice. I wouldn’t slag Laura off for having those feelings.It’s not that you aren’t happy for people announcing pregnancy/birth news - it’s that when you are in the depths of infertility, that news is like a gut punch and a very real reminder that it’s not you, you are happy for them but sad for yourself
10k was a marketing ploy but it's not completely unscientific either. I think averaging under 8k is unhealthy to the point it impacts how long you live .She has talked before about coming very close to having bariatric surgery, to the point of being about to start the liver shrinking diet to prepare for it and then sabotaging it with a binge. There are underlying issues with food that mean she’s not ready for the lifelong change in eating that comes with surgery and I do think that people underestimate what that is like. If you are an emotional eater, weight loss surgery doesn’t come with any fix for that.
I do think it’s possible to separate ‘diet culture’ and ‘being on a diet’ from reining in portion sizes, choosing whole foods over processed foods and prioritising filling/energising macros over comforting ones. And yes,10k steps was a marketing ploy but it’s about five miles and surely walking five miles is better than three is better than one is better than being sedentary. Rallying against the 10k misses the point of setting a target that’s just doing more than what you do now.
She’s right, most influencers are! I might describe my partner as a bellend to friends but not publicly to so many followers, wonder what he thinks of itLaura doesn't like to call herself an influencer because a lot of them are "wankers"
Also describes her husband as an "absolute bellend"
Honestly I have a dark sense of humour , but can not imagine describing my husband as a bellend
Its cringe because its so forced. The same as her happy head welcoming her new followers, all just an attempt to try and flog a few extra books.Is it just me or is that “it’s got pockets” reel fucking awful?
