This is a wonderful post.
I just had a baby (3 months old). I am still discourged because I can't fit into my size 8-10 prepregnacy clothes. I haven't been able to excersie like I wanted but I am still losing weight SLOWLY :covereyes. I have finally been able to get to the point were I have more time to for me and taking care of by body like i did before i.e. lotioning, proper skin care, shaving.
The way I look is based on my sexuality and I don't ever want to loose that again and feel as cold as i did some years back.
I gained 45 lbs and the Doctor always made comments about the weight gain. Finally toward the end I told told him to shut up about it because it was depressing me so much. All the while my man was very supportive said that is what makes a healthy baby.
