20-11-2009 - Goodbye cute, tight body

My mood while writing this blog: blah

---

I've made up my mind.. first of all I'm going on a diet.. yes a diet.. right before Thanksgiving. LOL. Second, I'm going to accept the fact that I will never look like I use to and I need to be happy with how I look now. I'm tired of avoiding mirrors that reflect my fat thighs, big ass (although I've always had a big ass but at least back then it was tight and firm. lol), and my flabby belly. DH and I's sex life has dramatically decreased since we've had a baby and it's not because we have a baby but it's because of my self image. I hate how I look.. especially naked so therefore I want to be naked as little as possible. I'm embarrassed by my "front butt" and my saggy boobies and try to hide them when we're doing the deed but it's impossible. I just need to get over it and/or do something about it. Honestly, when I look at pictures I don't think I look awful but it's hard to accept the new you after baby bump when you know you have much more potential looking back at old pics. Anyways, I'm throwing my low selfesteem out the door today, going on a diet to loose a few pounds, and will post blogs to update on my progress. Really this is for me to see a start and an end but comments are always welcome ;) Here are 3 before baby pictures, the last belly pic, 4 PP pics, and of course my wonderful trophy for completely re-figuring my body. lol.. I love him to pieces and no matter how awful I feel about my self image I would go through it a million times just to have him in my life. =)

oh honey....let me take some pics of myself and post them...you would pray to God and thank him for giving you what you've got. I know reflecting on your past body can burn you down but you look great.

I have been in the same boat as you and it didn't make TTC easy. It was always lights out, shirt stays on. lol You still have an incredible body but not only that you have THE prettiest face ever. You do not in any way need to diet, however you do need to feel better about yourself. Have you ever been to the site "the shape of a mother?" if not you should definitely google it!!

I am in the same situation sweetie. Sex is still there but I dont like my body so now I will have a shirt on or something. Dont like to see me naked either. DH says I look fine. But you and I favor in how our bodys look. Although I lost my cute tight booty thanks to pregnancy. And my boobs arent perky. But the outsome takes all that away. Good luck with the diet sister. Im doing the same. We can be work-out penpals!! lol

Christa, wow your body is amazing, it may not look like before but youve had a baby!! It will take time for your skin to bounce back, look how much it got stretched, after i had Jordan it took me 5 years for my tummy to get flat and my skin be tight again!! As for sex life...i feel exactly like you, i have to have a top on as im paranoid about my tummy touching keith, it never used to etc But best bit about it all is you have Garrett, some people look worse than us and they havent had kids!! :) :) :) I hope that makes sense lol

Good luck to you!! I'm sure with a lot of hard work and some confidence you'll be pleased with your self image. I am currently still pregnant, and have self-image issues also, I'm hoping to work on that after baby aswell. Oh--and i have to add that you have some AMAZING photos of you and your family!!! Oh, they are beautiful!!! Congrats and GOOD LUCK!!!
