This is going to sound completely selfish and vain....BUT....
I miss my body prior to baby. Yes, I love my child with all my heart but pregnancy wrecked havoc on my body. It amazes me that I was unhappy with my body before pregnancy because all of the "bad" I saw before is now intensified. My shape has changed and has gotten wider. I was not one of the lucky ones to be spared the stretch marks, and breastfeeding has also done its toll. I'm definitely not happy with myself right now. I can handle the stretch marks because I remember our childbirth class instructor saying that many women would die for those stretch marks. I understand completely and try not to complain much about the ones I have. As for the extra weight around my mid-section, I can't use the "I just had a baby" excuse anymore. It's been almost 4 months! I know they say it takes about a year to get the baby weight off if you work at it but I guess I was hoping for it all (plus some, haha) to just magically disappear! ;-) So, yes. I miss my body and I would love to have my old shape back. I need to get my butt in gear...and I'm so not looking forward to it. :-(
