It's about being empowered in what you can do and how you are, not at all what you look like.

Now, after havi...I have to say, I WAS the same way. Now, after having my son I see things in an entirely different way. My self esteem was as low as it can come but there was just something amazing about watching my body make my kid that changed the way I viewed things. Suddenly I felt strong and beautiful. I'm still mindful of what I eat and my weight but now it's because I respect this new image I have of myself and I want to see how strong I can make it. Now it has nothing to do with looks. I love what I see in the mirror. This body made and fed my bratty boy! And seeing as my husband, after 6 years together, is still basically humping my leg on a daily basis, I think I'm good ;) so if I choose to eat an entire cheese pizza and gain 5lbs it doesn't bother me the way it used to.

While they should be proud of how they look and maintaining it, there's nothing wrong with having a little something extra on your body. As long as you are healthy, your weight shouldn't matter. <3<br /><br />Rebecca<br />www.frugalfashionmommy.blogspot.comRebecca @ Frugal Fashion Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697115733209680006noreply@blogger.com
