I finally went shopping for new jeans.. vent

It was horrible.  Even though I lost all my baby weight, I needed to get pants almost 8 sizes bigger.. how the hell does that happen.  and I got a new shirt, only one b/c I was so depressed after having to keep getting bigger sizes over and over.  I hate my belly.  Oh and I had to take Zach b/c DH was working..  so I had him in the carrier until I had to try stuff on.  Then I had him in my arms, and we lost his paci.. ugh. The only good thing was he was in such a great mood.. I love my son.

I hate my body so much, but I'm always hungry (since I'm nursing)  DH is no help.  I never have time to work out b/c he comes home and spends a little time w/ Z while I cook dinner and then DH has something he needs to do.  And he doesn't make me feel good at all.. even on the off chance I dress up, I have to ask how I look and then its "you look FINE"  I don't want to look fine, I want to look good... I guess he is still into me b/c we still have sex but I know he doesn't like me being fat.  I know we are all pretty much in the same boat, so sorry to complain..

how depressing!  I'm sorry you had such an awful experience.  But congratulations for losing all the baby weight.  That's a huge accomplishment that totally needs some recognition.  I think most men are lost when it comes to giving compliments.  I'm firmly convinced that only happens in movies and television shows. 

I know it sounds cheesy, but whenever I get down on myself for my new flat pancake asss or flabby underarms I tell myself that to my son I am the most beautiful and perfect creature alive.  And his opinion is the only one that should matter to me anyway, right? 

Chin up, mama.  You're beautiful.

Thanks!  I was just having a moment, but feeling much better now!  You are right, I do the same thing when I'm done, most the time.  And my Son is the only person in the whole world that can't get enough of my singing voice!

Your hips probably spread during pregnancy, and that is nearly impossible to change. Its hard. I'll be a 12 for the rest of my life because my hips spread.

Sorry your shopping experience sucked.

Well I am glad I am not the only one!!! I went from a size 4/6 to a 10/12. I still have about 10lbs to be happy, but I think i LOOK ok. It's so weird...I look in the mirror and think I look pretty darn good for having a 4 month old...then I go to the store and I'm like WTH!!!

I also bought a bathing suit the other day.....UUUGGGGHHHHH.
