Postpartum pics

My confession: I hide every postpartum pic I see because they just make me feel bad about myself.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome that so many women recover so well and look great postpartum. Some are just lucky/have great genes and others work really hard to get in such great shape. There’s nothing wrong with them being proud of what they’ve done! They should celebrate that. It’s a lot of work for most ppl.

I just can’t look at those posts myself because I feel like I look 3 months pregnant even though I’m 5 weeks pp, and it depresses me when I realize I should work out more, eat less, etc...it’s just easier said than done since I have a 2yo and 5 week old. Those pics just bum me out 😔
