Quote From: klosash I feel the same way, I had a baby boy 8 months ago and I have horrible stetch marks and just a fat belly, it is discusting. Everything that you said I feel too, my boyfriend and I really don't have sex because I am not comfortable with the way my body looks.
I too used to have a nice body and I was thin and now I am 25pounds heavier than I was before I got pregnant. I want to start working out or do something but being a mom is very stressfull and you are always lacking sleep so the last thing that you want to do is work out when you are alredy so tired you know!!? No there is nothing wrong with you, I understand. I just wish I could be one of those women that go right back to the way they looked before they had there child, they suck!!!
It is nice to talk to some one that feels the same way I do.
I feel like my boyfriend says he doesn't care what I look like but in the back of his mind he is discusted with my boby too!!
Pull it together girls! Yes, things will never be the same, but you are what you are now. Work out, walk, eat right and get the weight off soon. Skin will continue to reduce for up to 18 months from the time you start losing weight. That is alot of time, but not if you stay how you are. After you think you have done all that you can do, then you have to learn how to be happy with how you are now.
Exercise will help with the stresses you are experiencing also. If it is too hot or too cold out, go to the local mall and walk. Do not wait around, precious time is ticking away for you to get after it. Make sure you break a sweat and get your heart rate up. Push the baby in the stroller. Work out videos worked for my wife, she did them in the afternoon while the babies (2 at the same time) were sleeping. She did not go back the way she used to be either. Nice, properly fitting clothing can get rid of all your worries when you look great again. That only leaves the one other person that sees you, the husband or boyfriend.
As for boyfriend or husband being disgusted with your body, they will have to get over it. Giving birth is not easy on you ladies. Good men will get over it and be joyous in the new life you have started by having a precious child to bring up. If they are really good men, they will help you out and give you time to sleep, exercise, support eating more healthy, and even do it with you. What are you waiting for, go get going and make a difference for yourself.
