Gets up on pedestal:

I get that we all had babies and are feeling self conscious but why all the body hate?! Not trying to call out any particular thread i just have seen a lot of posts that turn into trash talk about ourselves. Those of you that have pictures up are all gorgeous women and just because you arent feeling particularly gorgeous right this second doesnt mean that you arent. Okay im getting down now...

Sorry none of my i's are capitalized ik on my phone (why does the bump suck so much from a phone?!

Use this thread to say what you love about yourselfpost partum or just everyday

I love my legs. They were all swollen and grody while pregnant.

My eyes change between brown and green. Mostly they stay green with a brown burst around my pupil but it's something you really have to be paying attention to notice.

No amount of pregnancy body hate makes that any less cool to me

I agree. I love my legs and my booty. Ive got what phaedra on rhoa would call a donkey booty and i love it. People probably look at my lega and think they are fat but theyre just thick and strong and have no cellulite annnd would totally save my life in a zombie apocalypse.

Great idea!

I love my boobs! Also my hair has become easier to deal with, the curls became loose.

I love my height and my eyes, they are an aqua color with yellow stripes.

I have awesome boobs. I know they will sag in due time but they rock right now.

I no longer have acne. My skin looks really good which is amazing since I've always have had acne (mild, but still annoying).

Also, I would like to announce my beard is now gone and so are my armpit skin tags....just in case you wanted to know. I'm very happy to not be pregnant and not have the bazaar and unusual happenings happening to my body.

I have some nice hazel eyes. I hope LO has my eyes. I also enjoy the huge huge boobs. I didn't have boobs until college, and now I have massive ones.

I love my eyes, they're big and round and green like the colour of lake water in the sun, but if I'm wearing any shade of grey, green or teal they seem to chameleon the colour and they look vivid green in camera flashes and bright sun light.

Ill be the first to complain about being stocky, but I'm just built for strength, not speed. I love that I'm not too wimpy when it comes to tasks like moving, I'm a mule that can move boxes all day.

I LOVE my hair right now. I've been working really hard to get it healthy and it's the best its ever been. After 17 years of coloring, highlighting, lowlighting and bleaching my hair, I'm finally starting to appreciate its natural colour.

My eyes are a pretty cool combination of bright and creepy. I like 'em.

Oh wow! Gorgeous

I like my legs and butt. My legs swelled so bad and I'm glad they are back to how they were. And my ARMS......ladies, aren't your arms getting firm with all the baby handling? I'm the old lady of the board so at my age you start seeing that flapping. Not me! This baby is going to help keep me in shape and young. Didn't think that for a bit with the sleep deprivation, but now the dark bags under my eyes are gone too. LOL

I'm proud of my body just for surviving. When I got out of the hospital, I couldn't even walk more than just around my house and had to be wheeled around the hospital when I visited Claire for the first few weeks. Now, I try to remember that at one point, just being strong enough to walk seemed a ways away, and now I'm there. Every day I get stronger and better.

huahualove · July 2012

I love that I can fit into a lot of my old clothes now, even if I don't looks as good in them and they are tight. I like that by breastfeeding DS that I've been able to provide all that he needs to grow strong and big. It is just cool that your body can do that. I like that I have long legs, I need to get them firm again, but at least they are long. I used to really like my abs, I hope I can get to that point again.

Tambcat · July 2012

People keep seeing me for the first time since having the baby and marveling at how great I look. I can tell that my stomach isn't as flat, but I don't think it's as noticeable to other people.

Unrelated to weight, my boss keeps telling me how good having a baby was for my appearance. She was like "you still have that glow!" lol.

H was feeling up my boobs the other night and was saying something about how they felt less hard now than before I was pg, but he was saying it like it was a good thing. lol. I'm like, "uh, yeah, they lost some firmness from being pg and bf-ing..." It makes me realize that men are just boob fans and don't care much about particulars.
