Is anyone else MORE comfortable with their body now?

Enough with all the "I'm Huge" posts and everyone else giving their opinions on why they shouldn't be bothered by such things. Even though we all expect weight gain, not everyone is actually ok when it happends. Others think it's dumb to feel that way. Neither is wrong because we are all different. So enough.. we get it!! lol
What I want to know is if anyone else is actually more comfortable NOW?

I was never overly big but as I've said before.. I lost 35 lbs just before getting pregnant. I hid my body in clothes even after losing the weight. Mainly because of the whole not seeing it yourself thing.. not intentionally.
I've never had body issues.. I just thought covering up certain areas made me look better. I was in the process of losing weight more so because I had gained to the point that I was starting to have to buy new clothes and I'm extremely cheap! hah..
Now that I'm pregnant I'm completely comfortable with myself! More than ever! I want to flaunt it and enjoy the next few months!! I certainly don't feel sexy.. lol but I do feel like I look fantastic pregnant! :)
I'm excited to have my little girl here and getting back to the gym, etc.. working on getting the weight off again (and them some). I love being active and I know once she's older she'll made sure I stay that way! lol But until then I'm completely ok with how I look and feel!! Big Smile Anyone else?

    I had lost 30lbs before getting pregnant as well. I love my bump! Knowing there is a sweet little girl in there makes me pretty happy :)

    Although I feel huge, I am more comfortable with the way my body looks now. I actually look pregnant. As a "big" girl I honestly did not think I would show. Even though I had lost about 50 lbs before getting pregnant I still have a lot to go.

    Now that I am showing I wear my tops a bit more form fitting. I worked hard for this baby bump, I want everyone to see it.

    Yes I love the way I look now! I've always been comfortable for the most part with my slightly chubby body, but I feel like I look great now! I have only gained one pound so far, and my Dr said he isn't concerned cause the baby takes what she needs, and I am at a healthy weight, so as long as I feel good and am not sick all the time, there isn't need to worry. I feel like the rest of my body actually looks a bit leaner, and the only place I have grown is my belly. : I love my bump! My supervisor tells me everyday that I pop more and more, but some people tell me I look small. That's when I get offended! Lol

    Pretty much!! I`ve gained more than 1 pound but it seems to all be belly. I also love my bump and I`d be more offended if someone said I look small. I certainly don`t NOW so I`ve never gotten that one in a while haha but I did early on. I`m in no way offended when people notice my size. Some comments are a little out there and could be considered rude to some but I love my belly and growing baby inside!

    I think the reason I was so upset when some guy made rude comments about how big I am is because I feel awesome about my body right now, and he took it down a notch.  I'm back to where I was about it now.  I popped early, I was very obviously pregnant by 11 weeks and have not stopped growing, and I love it!  I love looking pregnant, I love wearing snug tops showing off my bump, I love people in the street saying congratulations and not having to guess if I'm pregnant or not, I love it all.  Big Smile

    Hell no. I'm hating every second of pregnancy; the weight gain, the symptoms, not being able to dress the way I want. It's awful. Can't wait to get this baby out and get on with life (and yes, I am only having one child).

    I may be delusional, but I think I look supercute!  I've always been insecure, but now those fat rolls I used to worry about are filled out with baby bump - no more rolls!  I feel like I'm mostly baby, and I'm really happy w/ the way I look.  Now my only fear is what I'll look like PP.

    I love this post.

     

    I am super-comfortable in my skin.  My workouts have been awesome-- just as challenging and fun as before.  I think my body looks great.  I ADORE my bump and having my baby girl inside of me.  I love the way clothes fit, and wear as many form-fitting tops as I can.  I LOVE being pregnant.

    I do! It's refreshing for me to know that how my body looks right now is EXACTLY how it should. No room for improvement!

    I swear, pregnancy is the only time when I don't have body image issues. I love the way I look when I'm pregnant, extra roundness and all. I feel like a life-creating goddess!
