postpartum body

I saw a picture of my belly relaxed and feel very insecure as well even though I know I should have pride in having carried my baby.

I have been saving social media videos of exercises but I don't have the motivation to workout. I used to workout a lot before child like crossfit and peloton and running all the time. But now I want nothing to do with it.

So I don't have it figured out. But I asked my husband to buy me outfits he likes on me, it made me feel good wearing new clothes that i know he liked what he saw. I also asked him for more compliments and to be more slow in love making. All of these things have helped me feel better even though they are contrived.

I don't think we have to push the fitness process. We will get there its been less than a year and we are back with some loose skin.

I think I'm going to just eat healthy, and get a mini tummy tuck. 😋

I feel that! I used to go to the gym a lot before having my son, but now juggling work and spending time with him.. there’s no time for the gym!

Having your husband buy clothes he likes is a great idea!
I’ve been so insecure with no libido that my husband and I have only been intimate twice total since I’ve been pregnant and our son is 8 months old.
The insecurity and loss of connection between us has made me very irritable and resentful of everything he does
I feel like a lose lose situation.

I feel this..my best friend is getting married next weekend and I bought a new dress to wear and I tried it on yesterday for my bf and he told me I look pregnant. 😳 needless to say I'm not going to be wearing it now..I've been trying to lose weight for this event, but so far I've only lost 5 pounds. But I'm still going to keep trying. We all have to start somewhere. Since I can't do a gym membership I do work outs I find on YouTube and I really enjoy yoga and zumba to make it more fun.

I don’t knowwww. I’m right there with you though.. I gained like 60-70lbs in my pregnancy and even at almost 9mpp I haven’t lost more than like 20lbs. So I’m still like 40lbs overweight. 😤

I’m basically done pumping so maybe that will help?

I feel this too. We’ve done it maybe 3-5x since she was born and I know we need to but I have 0 desire.

Same, size 8 is really good. I used to be size 10 but now am 12 mostly because my boobs which were already large before baby have not seemed to go back down. Just thicker around the middle too, excess skin?! Really frustrating but I try to remind myself that clothes are made to fit people, not the other way around. Buy and wear clothes that make you feel good about yourself rather then try to fit into old clothes. That's my new philosophy
