LOL. BIL is 23 and has a super hot girlfriend. She's 25 (an "older woman"...oh my). She is really great and we all love her, but does she have to be SO damned hot?!
She and BIL just stopped by and I'm laying in bed (on bedrest) huge, swollen, greasy unshowered and just nasty. She's freaking adorable in tiny shorts and a t-shirt... tanned and glowing with youth.
I can't wait to be a mom, but it sure makes me miss being 25 again. Will I ever feel sexy again?
Re: Thinking of banning BIL's girlfriend
I was never hot - not even at 25.
I bet she is a little jealous of your happy life and soon to be bundle of joy.
I'm 23-- I was the first of my friends to get married and the first to plan to have a baby (I do have a dear friend that had a baby this summer unplanned) but you've pretty much described everyone in my circle--and its annoying!
I'm greatful that DH and I have great jobs, a fantastic house, a family on the way, and our lives way more in order than 95% of people our age--but occasionally I see them care free, runnning around and looking like I did 8 months ago and I can't help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
My BF in the world started her family at 23... she is now 33 with 4 kids! I know that she sometimes struggled with what you are describing, but I know that she loves being such a young mom! I think the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. I am happy that I had my carefree 20s, but sometimes it makes me sad that I didn't start my family sooner.

This! I loved my 20s and lived it up at every chance but there is no way I'd go back. My 30s have been absolutely amazing.
The worst thing is, she probably doesn't even realize how good she looks. Do you remember actually feeling cute back then, even though you were probably a total hottie?

I completely agree with this! Looking back I was pretty hot at 25, but I didn't appreciate it at all! I was so hard on myself mentally. Now I might not be as thin, but I feel way better about my body.
Ha! Can I help?
THIS IS ME!!! I have been my happiest since I started dating DH 5 years ago and although I'm not as skinny as I once was, I am a million times happier. I will start working out again once the baby gets here only because I want to feel good about my body again but like I said...I was 110 and miserable so I'll take 130 and happy any day of the week!!! The 30's are the best!!! I'm 38! YAY ME! lol
This. I get so pissed at myself for even worrying about how I looked. I look at pictures and realize that I thought I was FAT then. Really? Fat... unbelievable. And yes, I agree with many pps... I am super happy in my life now and didn't meet DH until I was 29, so my 30s have been pretty amazing.
I also agree with Janimal though. Sometimes I just want to sit on her.
