My Battle for Self-Love While Pregnant
27 weeks 4 days with the toughest workout partner I’ve ever had 💪🏻🤰🏼
It’s been so hard to shift from the mindset I was in while losing pregnancy weight and getting fit and toned. Going from measuring my muscles and weight weekly, rock climbing, and running obstacle courses to simply JUST moving every day and eating healthy is hard.
It’s hard to watch what you eat (especially when your body is literally SCREAMING for half a dozen donuts) and workout 6 days a week, and watch yourself grow immensely and gain “ridiculous” amounts of weight.
If I’m being honest, I do have some body dysmorphia tendencies, and I do obsess about my appearance and my weight 😞 I have to fight to remind myself every day how impressive it is that I can grow a human being from scratch AND workout and eat healthy.
It’s been a battle loving this body, that I didn’t fight with my first pregnancy. At the end of the day, I know I feel incredible. I know I’m doing all “the right things” to be healthy while pregnant. I know I WILL lose this weight and I WILL have my body back.
In the mean time, I will keep working out every day. I will keep thanking God for making my body the way He did, with the ability to grow and birth a child and to take care of the child I have here on earth with me right now. I will eat nutritious foods for my unborn baby. And I will look at myself in the mirror every day and appreciate my pregnant, HEALTHY body. ❤️
