Will I still find family members? Like how does it work if I’m the only one who takes it?

I weighed 130 & then over the past year, I don’t know what happened. I weigh almost 170 and I keep buying bigger clothes and look frumpy I guess. I have no idea how to dress to look better, I’ve never been this big. My face is chubby, my belly is chubby, my arms flap. And every other day someone asks or congratulates me on being pregnant.
AND for the past month I’ve been exercising everyday. I got an exercise bike and try to get on twice a day, but I don’t seem to be getting anywhere. It hurts. MY MOM asked me today if I was pregnant and just not telling her. 😭 (I’m not)

As the title states, my 2.5 year old is wild. Everywhere we go he’s going full out. We went to a rodeo last weekend and he played in front of us for maybe an hour & then he just needed to run and run and he just ran back and forth in front of the bleachers in the gravel and we followed him, but is that ok? I think it’s ok? Afterward I saw a post shaming another mom for her kids playing in the dirt and the post said ‘she doesn’t go to rodeos because of the kids doing whatever they want’ but like… is this why people give their kids tablets? So they just sit and behave and not bother anyone?

Our toddler just likes to run everywhere and see everything and do all the things and we try to give him freedom to do so safely and while one of us is right there to monitor.

Are we doing something wrong by letting him run around? Also, if it is wrong how do we tame him?

They love my pictures & want me to do it. I’ve never done a wedding. Any advice for mobile wedding photography?

Which has a better camera?

Our toddler is in a defiant stage, he’s been hitting and i don’t think the best form of punishment is to spank him-like ‘you can’t hit, but we can’ so anyway, my husband and I are trying ways to get him to stop hitting. Yesterday we were in public and this happened so my husband was just holding him for a bit in a way that he couldn’t escape, which was fine. After some time of this he wanted to go back to playing and I thought he could. So I was communicating that to my husband and was probably sounding annoying I guess. I asked him for help parenting and then was telling him it was enough of what he was doing and he told me to shut up. Anyway, any advice on parenting a toddler that hits?

He has done so once this year and he wasn’t home all last year so I did it all. He just will not do it. He drags it until it’s overgrown and it’s so frustrating. And he only has been working two days a week. So I asked him today and he said he would do it and then all the sudden he didn’t feel well. He said it’s not fair because he feels like he’s the only one capable of doing it and so it falls on him,.. what!? So I, while watching our toddler outside, weedeated until the twine ran out WHILE HE NAPPED

I’m happy, I’m pretty healthy, people in the community don’t hate me.
But my BRAIN
is constantly telling me that no one cares about me. People hate me. I’m ugly. I’m stupid.

Like… I know those things aren’t true, but it feels debilitating day after day after day fighting my own thoughts
