December 2010 Moms

I'm dumpy :(

I knew I had that last ten (or maybe 13) pounds to lose. I kind of assumed it was all over my body, mostly in my belly.

But I never realized how much my body had actually changed since the baby. My husband and I took a full length pic of ourselves holding the baby (yes, the first one I took since he was born) and I was shocked to see that my formerly regular ol' pear shaped body (but still pretty cute) was downright DUMPY.  I have mom bod.  I don't think it's fixable :(  I give up, pass the cookies.

    Moms get cookies?!?  Sign me up!

    I do think I'm going to ask for sessions with a trainer for my birthday because I am not doing enough myself and I don't like all the jiggling.

    ETA - wait a minute - didn't you have a picture of yourself recently?  I call psshhaw on the dumpy claim.

    Yeah, but I was in a sari! Nothing hides dumpiness like 30+feet of fabric.  Can I just wear the sari full time?

    I'm pretty sure saris will be the next big thing to come out of Milan.  Go for it!  Dumpy or not (I still vote not) you looked good.

  • Aww, I'm sure it's not at all bad.  We're totally our own worst critics.  

    I will say that I do not like my body at all now.  I weigh the same amount that I did before becoming pregnant but it looks nothing like what it used to.  My butt is flat and weird now and I still look 5 months pregnant.  I'm not sure what to do about the rear end problem but I have to have my stomach fixed with surgery (it's a hernia like thing-y...not plastic surgery, don't judge me ;) and I'm not getting that done until we're done having children so I'm doomed to look pregnant for the next 4 years at least.

  • I thought I was looking pretty good.  I am actually 14 lbs lighter than I was before I got pregnant, and all my jeans are loose on me.  But then 2 things happened.  My mom came over and was in my room and looked in a new (cheapo) full length mirror that I bought and said "That mirror is way too flattering."  And I saw a video of myself and realized that while I may weigh less, all the fat that I previously had just moved around to less flattering places.  *sigh*  I am also 'dumpy mommy'.  
    I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old. 
  • Me too... :(

    Mine too!  What is up with that?  My butt used to be a semi asset and now not so much.  It doesn't help that I have very little time to myself and exercise and I live in Florida so I don't like to take LO out in the heat for walks and it doesn't cool down until after she is asleep.

  • I feel the same way.  My hips are huge, my boobs are saggy, and even with new (much larger) pants, I have a muffin top from my still-loose tummy skin.  Boo.

  • We're the new cool club - dumpy mommy club.  HA!  I'd be able to join too.  I weigh the same now as pre-pg, but I don't look the same.  Major pooch in the front, wider hips, saggy boobs, and I don't even look at my rear in the mirror anymore because it's just sad.

    Actually, with my pooch, big ole' hips and odd droopy boobs (I'm a 32A, there's nothing there to sag,and yet they do...) the idea of me flashing anything is scary.

  • Sign me up.  I don't get how I don't way any more than I did in 2007 when I decided I was too fat and started to diet, but how all of my clothes from then fit me akwardly.  My thighs are the same width but my pooch is poochier, my hips are lumpier and my back fat is off the charts.  WTF?

  • add me to the club.  ive got the pooch, deflated boobs and wide hips... *sigh*
  • I'd like to join too!

    Jilly - I'm sure you look great for having had a baby 6-7 months ago Smile

    I'm dumpy too.  I was starting to feel decent about myself... but then this weekend my sister and my mom asked me if I was pregnant again.  FORREALSIES.  Talk about taking me down 1,000 notches.  And this is why when I go to the beach in 2 weeks, I will be wearing a cover up.

  • Can I join this pity party? I am about 8 lbs over my pre-pg weight & everything has shifted, lol. ugh. I wear yoga pants everyday & struggle to find "real" clothes to wear when we go out on the weekends. And shopping sucks b/c I am still picking out things based on my old body type & then I try them on & they're just terrible. blahhhhhh

  • I hear ya, honey. I had big Italian hips to begin with, and since I gave birth to DS they are even bigger. It sucks. Not to mention that loose skin around my belly that will never go away despite the millions of sit-ups I've been doing, the stretch marks...ugh. DH swears he doesn't notice and I believe him, but dammit I notice! I want my 21-year old body back!!

    P.S I agree. Pass the cookies!
