bye bye full length mirror

jsong

I made a royal mistake by standing in front of my full length mirror after my shower this morning.  I am not one of those lucky mommies-to-be where all the weight is just in the tummy.  My fat does not discriminate and took the liberty to spread.  I knew my face has gotten bigger (thanks to my mom who kindly pointed that out) but for the first time, saw my thighs.  I was shocked!  My weight isn't out of control and no worries from my doctor so I'm not worried but I don't need to see them every day so, bye bye full length mirror for now

yeah... i'm with you... unfortunately I don't have the will power to say bye. My body is like a train wreck - I can't stop staring. lol.  I love to see my belly.. but everything else I just stare at with an open mouth... lol.

Right before getting pregnant my thighs were for the first time in my life tiny. I got married in Septemeber so really stepped up my running...I was the smallest I've ever been in my life. Well once ms hit....I stopped running and then with the cold weather I couldnt bring myself to get back into it (we have a treadmill but the room it's in is in the middle of being worked on). So I want to cry when I look at my body. I was for the first time ever in my life happy with what I saw and proud of my hard work when I looked in the mirror. Now all I see is nasty fat, cottage cheese thighs...and wiggly arms. I never got like this with DS. I only gained in my belly so nothing else ever changed. I'm really looking forward to June to start getting back into running again. Im signing up for a 1/2 marathon in October so I have no choice but to get back in shape!

Yep! I'm so with you on this one. I HATE my full length mirror! My weight isn't out of control either, it's just spreading. Everyone keeps telling me I'm "all belly." Oh, if they only saw me naked. LMAO. Yuck.

I am with you there. LO is getting so big and has nowhere else to go. So, I think he is starting to use my butt as a spare bedroom. I can't stand the way i look. I also think my bump looks like a giant egg and not round. Doesn't help when I see people and they go "OMG! You are HUGE!". I just reply with "That's exactly what ever girl likes to hear". It shuts them up but the damage is already done.

I wont even let DH see me naked anymore and that means no sexy time either. Which sucks!!
