Confession
I've got a history of battling body dismorphia.... pregnancy is no exception. I was just starting to feel more comfortable in my body (babe is now 17 months, I still had about 5 lbs to lose to be "prepregnancy"). Now I am pregnant again (obviously... 11 weeks 1 day) and of course I'm excited and happy, albeit a little nervous. However... I'm already starting to hate my body. I have gained 2 lbs now. I know it doesn't seem like much, but I have a small frame and my weight goes to all of the wrong places. This happens every time... I hate my body while pregnant and it makes me so sad. I just want to love my body. I love pregnant women I think they are absolutely radiant and gorgeous... but I cannot seem to ever think of myself that way.
Anyone else know my struggle? Any advice to get past this this time? This is my last child. I want to feel beautiful this time... but I'm just dreading the weight gain.
