Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't really trade anything for my baby, but do you also go through these after having put on weight post pregnancy?
Don’t get me wrong – I wouldn’t really trade anything for my baby, but do you also go through these after having put on weight post pregnancy?
No body shaming here. This is #Justforlaughs. I have experienced each one of these at some point.
I have had my struggle with weight issues post pregnancy. Sometimes I made peace with it, sometimes I did win over it. But the confidence and experiences that I have gained after being a mother are priceless. I wouldn’t trade these for a slimmer version of myself.
Adding a dash of humor to our everyday issues makes it easier to tackle. So read on ladies – you will relate to this as well.
Should I go shopping and buy a larger size, or should I wait for another month thinking I should lose some and then go shopping and then buy a larger size?

Tremendous pressure on the phone camera for the perfect angle to capture your picture looking thinner, your hair in place and the perfect smile (not too many teeth). And then shortlisting out of the gazillion pictures to put up on social media.
Switching from vodka to mojito (not virgin) cause you can see some greens in your glass.
Convincing your daughter “I wasn’t snoring that sound was due to the eternal cold”.
Learning some reverse psychology like before people say “you have put on weight”. Tell them, “I have put on so much weight” and out of courtesy they would say “no you look perfectly fine”.
Going through an inner turmoil after having booked an uber. “I should have walked back home today but now I’ll be charged a cancellation fee.”
Constantly wondering whether blinking of eyelids and flipping your hair would count as a form of exercise.

What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
