Fear of weight gain

15 weeks now and seeing my weight creeping up is making me slightly anxious. I used to be very overweight and worked really hard over 10 years to slowly lose and maintain my pre preganancy weight within healthy range. My symptoms doesnt allow me to do strength training as much as I would like and seeing the muscles becoming flabby upsets me too. Anyone shares same sentiments? How do you accept the incoming changes to your body?

Would thinking of your body as a home for your child help? I’m still pregnant and have noticed I’ve gotten flabbier and “unshapely”. I talk to my baby and tell her that I’m going to do whatever it takes to make sure she’s safe in there..and if this means I’m more “insulated”, then so be it. It helps me to connect my body as a mean of function and miracle for my baby’s growth rather than anything else. I guess what I’m trying to say is I changed my perspective when I look at my body. Being kind to myself all the time and hopefully, the people around you are saying the same kind things to you.
