So, I've had a hard time the last 6 months adjusting to my post-baby body. Yes, I know my child is 2 1/2 but it's really been just the last year that the changes really started to hit me. I know these changes are normal but that still doesn't make them any easier to deal with. I've had to buy bigger clothes and change my wardrobe to be more "mom friendly". It's been tough because I've never had to worry about my weight or physic at all. Growing up, I was self-conscious about my legs because they've always been muscular. I never worried about my stomach because even though it wasn't all that toned, at least it was flat. Now, I'm happy with my legs (though they could be more toned) and I hate my stomach! I know it's mostly from having a c-section with Mason that it's hard to lose the weight there, but geez it sucks. I've gone to bigger pants and loose-fitting shirts and the dreaded "cover-up" bathing suits. Thank God it's not bikini season anymore! I know that I need to exercise to shed the weight, but with working 2 jobs, taking care of my husband and son, it's hard to get motivated to clean the house much less go jogging or something! I also have a weakness for soda and french fries.
Can anyone relate or am I just feeling sorry for myself? I know that Matt loves me no matter how I look, but I want to get back to loving my body too. I know that everyone has something about their body they want to change but I can't figure out how to make that voice go away. It's a strange feeling for me, because I am mostly happy with where I am in life except for this one thing.
Any advice? And thanks for listening to me bitch! LOL
♥ Katie
