| 04-4-2008 - I hate my body |
My mood while writing this blog: Really crappy |
Okay so, I've been reading posts and everyone wants that baby bump, and so did I. Then I woke up one day and -BAM- there it is. Along with a big ass, back fat, and bigger than anyone should have boobies...ewww. I hate every maternity outfit that I put on. I am so happy to be pregnant and to be having a little girl with my husband but, why do I feel so insecure? Is it because of those damn pregnant celebrities with their perfect bodies on the cover of magazines half naked and looking gorgeous? Probably. I feel like I'm being selfish and I should respect and love this body that is making a baby. But all I can think of is being fat again. I used to weigh 216 lbs. When I found out that I was pregnant I was 140 lbs... now when I go to the Drs and see that weight creeping up again...it scares the hell outta me. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to do it again, and with a child this time. *sigh

Sunday, 22 Jun I got up to 200 pounds with my first and I'm 5'4". I always felt huge too especially like you said looking at the magazines. Just remember they are airbrushed. I saw a special with Cindy Crawford one time about airbrushing in the magazines, it was very interesting. I had to keep reminding myself of that fact. It took me a little over a year to lose the 70 pounds because I was overweight by 20 pounds when I got pregnant. This time I again gained 20 pounds before I got pregnant, go figure but I've kept the weight down to 15 pound gain. I'm 28 weeks and still have a little bit to go. I'm doing my best not to get over 173 pounds, preferably 170 this time. It will come off and you'll probably have an easier time than older women like me. You can do it, chasing after that baby will help. :) JoJoUK -
Saturday, 5 Apr Hi Heather I started this pregnancy at 140 lbs too and am already a good 20 lbs heavier. My sister was tiny about 120 lbs and put on 70 lbs in her pregnancy!!!! and she's lost it all in 6 months. If we can breast feed and run around after our little ones when we come home from work I guess that will go towards working off some of the weight! :)
