As I write this post, I am transparent. Before having children, I was very slim, no waist, no stomach, perky boobs, like you couldn’t tell me nothing. When I got pregnant with my first born, I wasn’t aware of the effects that pregnancy had on the body. After breastfeeding, I lost the baby weight but my boobs weren’t as perky as they used to be, my stomach shriveled up like lasagna, and the cellulite/stretch marks were startling. I was so self conscious of the way I looked with my clothes off. I often thought of different ways of how I could change myself. After having my second child 2 years ago, I learned the value of self love. I learned that since I wasn’t getting cosmetic surgery, I could make changes in my weight but the scars, stretch marks, and saggy boobs (thats right I said it 😂) , it’s all a part of my journey of becoming a woman/mother. I now embrace all of me.

Love this! first let me say: you are beautiful in every single way. I’m expecting my first and this gives me something to look forward to. In hindsight, I think it’s very natural for a woman’s body to change after bearing children. As long as we love ourselves from within and have a support system, I think it works out for the best. thank you for sharing beauty!
That’s what I struggle with. Most of the time I do not have anytime to get myself together. Before my last baby came I kind of had a rhythm of things. But now it is a struggle. One day I can eat completely healthy. The next day I’m ordering pizza. I’m hoping I can get a system where I can focus on getting back to my weight.
Our bodies are magical but does not make us feel that way. I am still struggling with the changes that birthing four children have made on my body. I am overweight and disgusted at the changes over the years. My breasts have inflated and deflated from nursing four separate kids. My stomach has been stretched to capacity and now trying to find its way back to somewhat taut. The felling of being a shell of person you once were is apparent. With so much to do, it has be ignored because of the four little people counting on me. Every attempt to hop on the weight loss journey is a struggle to be optimistic but know that something will always come up and derail any progress. The longing to be the person you once were especially physically is not only draining but feels out of reach, My mom says that my body never has the chance to rest and that eventually my body will heal. I take solace in knowing that any little effort will be beneficial in some way.
I am still learning to love the skin that I am in. Normally, I bounce back to myself. But my last baby and birth control, my body has definitely made some changes. My face even got fuller. My doctor says that the full face comes with age. I am not sure what to think at this point. I just want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I was 126 lbs. I know this may not be the case. Now I am 132 lbs and I feel like I look 145 lbs. It is crazy, but I am up for any tips on trying to look leaner. I am trying everything and my weight is stagnant.
