I am four months postpartum. Am I bigger than I used to be? Definitely. Do I still have a belly? You betcha. Do I have stretch marks? For sure. Do my pre-baby pants not fit real well? You know it.
But you know what? My body did something amazing. It grew a beautiful, wonderful baby girl. It then pushed that baby out. And now it is sustaining and feeding said baby. My body is amazing, not something that needs work. Am I going to the beach and wear a sexy, two piece swimsuit? Negative. But I don’t hate my post baby body. And I don’t appreciate you telling me I should.
I know, you haven’t said it directly. But just because I am in your area and I have had a baby doesn’t mean I want to be your friend on Facebook and see all of your spammy posts about your great weightloss voodoo. If I wanted it I would ask one of the half dozen actual friends I know and trust to tell me more. NOT YOU.
In addition, I do not plan on putting this unknown substance in my body as long as I am feeding my baby from it. I don’t care that your sisters cousins aunts niece uses it while she nurses. The supplement industry is highly unregulated and you will not convince me to give it a try.
Do not make me feel like less of a woman because I accept and love my body. Over the last four months I have become more comfortable in my post baby skin and I will not let you take it from me. I am currently working on a healthy way to get myself back into shape. But I also know my body will never be the same. The life I created is amazing and not have a swimsuit ready body anymore is find by me.
