I Knew It Was Going To Happen I Came Last In The Charity Race
I knew it was going to happen.
I knew I was going to come last in the charity race.
I thought I was prepared for it.
But I wasn’t.
There is nothing wrong with coming last.
There really isn’t.
Unfortunately someone has to do it.
Each lap I cried.
10 fucking laps.
I cried because people had to pity clap me.
I cried because people had to wait until I was finished so they could pack up & go home.
They didn’t want to hang around waiting for me.
They wanted to do their own thing.
Be with their family.
Not watch some fat girl running.
Eventually I finished.
Everyone packed up & went home.
I cried & cried & cried in the car on the way home.
I cried to my husband.
I cried myself to sleep.
I woke up & felt ok.
Emotionally okay.
Physically I’m fucked.
I got on my phone and I saw them.
All the photos.
My friends all smiling.
My friends in groups with their medals.
Where was I?
I’m not in any of them.
I was still to finish.
I was still going.
I missed out.
But then I realised I had FINISHED, I crossed the line, I pushed myself, I may have come last, I may not be in any of the photos, but I carried on regardless, I did not give up, I did not give in, the more I run, the more i force myself to do better, the fitter, thinner and healthier I will become.
Coming last was a great thing because next year I won’t be in the same position, next year I WILL b in all the photos, not as an out of shape, fat, unhealthy woman, but as a woman who has fought to be there.
I did not give up and now I will push myself to do better.
If you are reading this and feel you are unhealthy or over weight do not give up,keep pushing yourself and you will get there.

Don’t Take Photos At School You Are Putting Children At Risk
If the school or sports team, club or anyone says please don’t take photos at their event, assembly, play etc , then please don’t take any bloody photos!
Watched multiple parents sneer and then sneakily take pics despite just being told not to.
You have no idea why some parents haven’t given permission for their child’s picture to be taken, yes it could just be that they don’t want it done, but it could be a reason of safety, that child could be hiding from someone who wants to take/harm them or a family member, witness protection or people trying to hide from a violent past.
I understand how annoying it is, but don’t be so selfish.
If your child is dressed up then take a photo before they go, or after when they are alone, if the school says you can take photos but not to up load them on to social media then don’t, if you want to post an image of your own child then make sure any other children are cropped out.
Times have changed and with social media so easily assessable your innocent looking photo of your child and a few of her classmates could mean you are putting one of them in serious danger.
These rules are in place to protect children to protect the innocent, just listen to what you are being asked to do, it really isn’t hard.

Bigger Woman Still Have A Postpartum Body
“When you’re a bigger woman, somehow it makes certain people think you don’t deserve to say you have a “real” postpartum body.
THIS. IS. FALSE.
You grew a human. You birthed a human, whether they came out of your lady bits or through surgery. You have a postpartum body. Period. End of story. It doesn’t matter what that body looks like. There is no definition of what a postpartum body is supposed to look like, contrary to what some people will try to force you to believe.
You will see women who have no marks, or those who have 50. You will see women whose stomachs went right back to being smooth and flat, or hang down with loose skin. You will see women who have lots of fat on their bellies, or who have none. You will see women who were in great shape and toned when they got pregnant and women who were considered “plus size” when they got pregnant. Some women stayed in shape through pregnancy while others gained weight. But what do all of these women have in common after birthing these adorable humans?
They. Have. A. Postpartum. Body.
They have a story. Their story matters and it counts. They can post the photo if they want to. And not every photo will look the same. I am SO DONE with hearing that certain women aren’t allowed to consider their body a “real” postpartum body and post their love for it.
So here it is. Another lovely photo of my postpartum body” -Full credit to the amazing: Meg Boggs

STOP Pulling Your Baby’s Top Lip Back Over Their Face
Ladies,
Please, STOP pulling your baby’s top lip back over their face, taking photos, and posting them into parenting groups or your to your Facebook friends.
This cannot be diagnosed by a photograph, your GP is the only one who can tell you for sure. Plus, right now, pull your own top lip up towards your nose. Nice and far, the way it’s done in these pictures. Not nice is it? That’s because we’ve all got one, it’s kind of how your face works, and is to do with how we developed in the womb.
Please stop putting your baby through this.
Just stop. Please.
Tongue and lip-tie are common causes of nipple pain, uneven breast drainage, slow weight gain and low milk supply. Many doctors do not properly access for tongue or lip-tie until they are made aware that there could be an issue.
Signs your baby may have a lip tie
•poor latch and suck
•unusually strong suck due to baby using excess vacuum to remove milk
•clicking sound while nursing (poor suction)
•ineffective milk transfer
•infrequent swallowing after initial let-down
•inadequate weight gain or weight loss
•irritability or colic
•gas and reflux
•fussiness and frequent arching away from the breast
•fatigue within one to two minutes of beginning to nurse
•difficulty establishing suction to maintain a deep grasp on the breast
•breast tissue sliding in and out of baby’s mouth while feeding
•gradual sliding off the breast
•chewing or biting on the nipple
•falling asleep at the breast without taking in a full feed
•coughing, choking, gulping, or squeaking when feedingLip-ties often accompany tongue-ties, other parents cannot advice you if your child has a lip tie, please see your doctor for an assessment.
