Who is that girl in the mirror?

in Babies on the Brain

I took some fun photos AWing my fab post-baby body that I've been working soooo hard for the last 2 months.  I am in shock at how terrible my self image really is.  I know I look better and that I lost tons of weight (only 3lbs left to lose), but I still feel fat in my jeans...maybe because I'm still wearing my "fat" jeans.  lol. 

 Although I've lost pretty much all the weight, I still have a LOT of toning to do before I'm the same size that I was pre-pg.

That being said, my self image must have always sucked...and still does...because I'm looking at these photos I took of myself and I'm hot and look really skinny.  Why is it that I cannot see that girl when I look in the mirror every day?  I just don't understand what my brain tells my eyes to see.

    I think that's the story of most womens lives.

    That is the same for most women.  I have no idea why we do that to ourselves. 

    FWIW- I am smaller than I was pre-pg and still wear a big pant size.  My hips are wider. :(

    Doesn't it suck that our hips get wider and don't bother to go back.  Not fair!  lol

    It's growing up, it's having kids - and it's worth it! You look great. You'll never be the same, but that's okay - you're not the same inside now that Ryder is around, are you? You look beautiful and the key is to be a healthy momma for your baby!

    I don't know why we do that to ourselves. I feel that way all the time..as soon as I recover from this surgery, I already told DH we will be working out everyday. I am tired of this. And plus I want to be down more weight when we TTC again.

    I don't know how I would get through the day without you all.  You're the best support system!

    Landon looks adorable in his costume!  But, how will he ever eat that huge banana???  He's so small!  Stick out tongue

    LOL, I think Daddy would say it's Mommy's job to eat the banana.
