I feel like I let myself go.

All of these posts got me looking at pics from before the baby.  I'm kinda sad now.  I feel like I've totally let myself go.  Some days it's hard to find time to shower, I never wear makeup anymore, I've probably blow dried my hair twice since DS was born, and I live in sweats. 

I would never change things, I love being a mom, it's the one thing that I've always wanted to be in life.  I guess I'm just so focused on him that I've let my looks fall.  And then I worry that DH won't like that I'm not taking care of myself and develop a wandering eye.

I don't know.  I feel like I need one of those frumpy mom makeovers!

    Thats how I feel. I'm going to go get my hair done tomorrow for the first time in years. I'm also going to concentrate more on getting back into shape.. Its so hard... I'm not happy with my appearance right now and unfortunately, not very motivated to do something about it.

    I hear you, it's hard to find the motivation when I'm so sleep deprived most of the time.  I think I'm going to treat myself to a cut/color sometime this week too.  Lord knows I need some "me" time.

    Same here.. I'm at a loss as how to dress myself now.  And since i'll be 27 soon I feel like I need to dress differently.  I have a pretty shiity self image of myself.  Whatever though, beer doesn't care what I look like!

    I feel that way too...  well, I have to go to work everyday, so I can't stay in my sweats all day.  But, I feel like I let myself go also.  I think a little exercise routine would make all the difference.  That is what I'm working on...  at least, I'm thinking about it.  =)  Don't worry, we all feel this way.

    I'm feeling the same. I actually put on makeup today for church and when I looked in the mirror I didn't recognize myself.

    Its kind of inevidable because we have worn maternity clothes for 10 months and now we are trying to figure out what we fit into which isnt much for me.  We are trying to get back in shape in our spare time and then we will need to shop in our other spare time with our spare money that we have to make ourselves spend on ourself.  On a daily basis,if I do my hair and makeup I better have somewhere to go.
