Why is it that prior to having children I felt GREAT about myself, but now I am constantly feeling like what you see is just not good enough.
Having babies has gotten me a not so firm tummy and some beautiful veiny legs...fluffy arms and widened tuckus. Now...What to do with these wonderful gifts that my children have given me? Well, I decided after having Monster Boo that there was no point in losing weight and getting into shape because there would shortly be another baby taking residence in my belly. This was a not so good decision on my part. Now, I feel like I am really trying to catch up. Yes, I want to have another baby in the not so distant future, but I really don't want to be as big as a house after the next pregnancy.
So, dieting has become a yo-yo for me, but at least I am trying.
For the time being I must find clothes that are flattering to my deformities. The bathing suit dilemma has resulted in tankinis with skirts on the bottom. Thank goodness those are in style right now. Shorts have been a battle for the past 3 years and this year I have finally decided to own it and now sweat my way through the summer.
I don't want to fall into that "mommy slump" where people say, "It doesn't matter what you look like, you are a Mom." I just want to look good and put together. I am working on it!
I know this topic will be revisited so keep an eye out.
