Your blog and what you say about body...Dear Tessa!<br /><br />Your blog and what you say about body-image issues are really inspiring to me. My little boy is 5 months old too and every day I have to tell myself that it is a huge thing,what I did,with the 2 days labour,ended in c-section. I struggled with postpartum depression,I was dissapointed in myself,I was fighting for breastfeeding for two months. But now I am exclusively breastfeeding,this is another thig to be proud of. But...I always had problems with my body(-image)...and I'm not happy with the picture in the mirror even if I'm not fat. I won't give up to be in peacr with myself and reading your blog is helping me to be stronger. Thank you!!! Be happy:) <br />Xoxo AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543103016348087981.post-34181795340014834022013-12-14T08:31:58.563-08:002013-12-14T08:31:58.563-08:00Oh heather I just love love your words, they show ...Oh heather I just love love your words, they show so much wisdom and strength in the woman that you are.

I am so glad you could relate and reading your story as well is so encouraging. And I absolutely love when woman are able to cling to the truth .. You are incredible, your body is creating life as we speak. If you continue to focus on that truth you will feel uplifted and magical. And especially focus on the life in front of you after your little darling arrives. Continue to embrace and accept your beautiful body. Amen, we have these tiny people looking up to us and we need to be careful how we talk about ourselves and how we show we value ourselves.

Thank you for sharing. You are always ...Loved this! Thank you for sharing. You are always so inspiring ♥ <br />I relate too...I look in the mirror and although I don't have any pregnancy weight there is definitely a permanent difference. At first I felt a little bit bummed- I think because I can crunch and squat to death but the rest isn't in my control. However, I realize what God has blessed me with, and had to remind myself that I love scars (b/c they are an unchosen mark of something a person has been through and show that we are real) and that these areas on my body are a beautiful reminder of the children I have. So now, I proudly look at these places and smile. It's a reminder of the biggest blessings I've ever been given AND an achievement as a woman!!! Now when I think of it- no way do I want to go back to having a 'perfect' stomach, with perfectly wrinkle-free tight skin and zero linea nigra (I still have it)..I am a mother and proud to show my baby marks as if they were a favorite tattoo because God was their artist! ♥ Cheers xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030677780340068351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543103016348087981.post-37106166902915208232013-12-12T14:47:21.530-08:002013-12-12T14:47:21.530-08:00I just started reading your blog and am absolutely...I just started reading your blog and am absolutely loving it! I was able to relate to your story and it is such an inspiration to read how you have come to appreciate your body before and after baby Cash. I am 33 weeks pregnant with our first baby and have always been petite as well. It is amazing how after many years of being called, "small, skinny, tiny", that that's exactly what I felt I always should and would be. I worked out, I ate healthy because I thought I always had to be a certain way. Fast forward to the present, once this belly started expanding I found myself thinking, "oh geez, this is harder than I thought". It was mentally hard for me to be working out but yet still be gaining weight. Hard for me to eat healthy despite craving junk. I feel like my mentality changed though when I felt the first kick of our baby girl. I wasn't working out for just ME anymore, I wasn't watching what I was putting into my body for just ME anymore, it wasn't about just ME anymore. It was so refreshing to realize this! I've learned to take one day at a time during this pregnancy adventure and appreciate my body and all that it is doing to house my little one. Yes! Our bodies are simply amazing and what a gift we have been given to grow a baby in our bellies! I only hope to keep reminding myself of these positive affirmations after our little one is born. I may not ever have the body I used to have pre-pregnancy but I will have a new best friend that I can love unconditionally. I hope to one day teach our daughter a positive self image and to not dictate her worth by a scale or jean size.<br /><br />Thank you once again for your story and empowering words, you brightened my day!<br /><br />xxxxx- MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
