I’ve sort of been dancing over the fact that I am struggling to accept my post baby body. But I don’t recognize it anymore. It’s so different now than it was a year ago. I constantly feel self-conscious about the jiggle, and the rolls. Santa’s jello belly ain’t got nothin on me…
But…I sort of had one of those “It’s not that bad” moments last week. I need to be thankful that I didn’t gain a ton of weight in my pregnancy, and that some of it has come off. I also need to remember that there are women (and men) out there busting their butt everyday to lose weight. So no more wallowing in I’m-too-fat-for-this City. I’m moving to I-can-make-a-human-oplis and just love myself. All of it…jello belly and all…and be thankful that jello belly has no stretch marks.
I complied a list of 10 tips to help with body acceptance, if like me, you are struggling with accepting your body after baby…or even before baby. Because I did then too. Honestly, our bodies are amazing things, and they can do some pretty cool things.
