I thought I should be losing weight while breastfeeding but I realize now that bf is probably how I wasn't gaining weight! <br />I love that others are inspired to lose 5 pounds. I hope everyone is equally inspired, even if uncomfortable in their bodies, to identify ways in which they *love* their bodies. If you love your body, that's all the more reason to take care of it, right? :) Krisdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704207477602994515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114152068970678707.post-75944859680442634572014-02-17T19:32:45.809-08:002014-02-17T19:32:45.809-08:00Thank you so much for posting this you said everyt...Thank you so much for posting this you said everything i feel and all i fear! <br />I was not the skinny girl growing up but I lost my weight and was happy being healthier and yes smaller... my son is just a bit over one and I feel as if I'm going back to my bigger size and it bothers/scares me. I make up excuses like I'm planning baby #2 but I'm not comfortable in my body. I want to love it and be healthy again...I'm excited about losing 5 pounds I believe I can do it. <br />Thank you again you are inspirational!

I hope you are kind to yourself and find things that you love about your body - & you can model loving your body for them!<br />I started a group on Facebook if you'd like to join, for support & accountability: https://www.facebook.com/groups/513389115436727/Krisdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704207477602994515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114152068970678707.post-28693055219983204792014-02-15T07:36:47.334-08:002014-02-15T07:36:47.334-08:00Thank you.

I have 2 Little girls and live in fear l'll teach them to look at themselves as anything less than beautiful and remarkable.

I know how hard it is with small children to find any time for yourself. I have an exercise DVD and I'm committing to 10 minutes a day. Maybe I'll do more, but for now, I need to at least take baby steps. I wish you well!Krisdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704207477602994515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114152068970678707.post-12480344434258999202014-02-15T06:42:53.969-08:002014-02-15T06:42:53.969-08:00Your writing is beautiful.

In addition to the feeling of being acceptable at a thinner size, I like the way my body moves when it is smaller. What a puzzle. All I can say is I hope we love, love ourselves, do lots of self-care, and research anything that seems to be awry with our bodies (even if docs assure us it's nothing). Thanks for putting it all out there.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09341071015653094872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114152068970678707.post-19526313272414751082014-02-15T05:35:28.999-08:002014-02-15T05:35:28.999-08:00I totally feel you on this.

When I got pregnant with my first I was not a size 4 more like a size 8, but I was really strong and in great shape. I even did a 10k at 20 weeks pregnant. After my first I got back into running but not the way I used to. Then I got pregnant with my second had horrible nausea for the first half of my pregnancy and completely stopped working out. Once I had baby #2, I tried to get back to where I was. I had the double jogging stroller and ran when I could but it wasn't the same. Now if I'm lucky to squeeze in 2-3 workouts a week. But that's not enough. I know sit in 12-14 size pants and I wonder what happened to the girl I once knew. Between a really stressful full time job and raising 2 little ones I have become overweight and I hate it. I have a whole section of my closet for clothes I can't wear anymore. It's sad. Anyway, the point of my post is that I totally get how you feel. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
