Dear 2014, Can I please have my body back? 😣

Question

I feel like I’ve already hit my prime and I’ll never get my old body back.. 2014 was my year! I had just graduated and started college. I felt great about myself and I had more confidence then I ever had before. Now here it is 2018 and I honestly hate myself. I hate looking in the mirror, I hate buying clothes. I’m so disgusted that I let it get to this point. I’ve been slowing gaining weight since 2015 but I got even worse when I got pregnant with my daughter. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m only 4 weeks pp but I just don’t think I’ll ever be able to feel/look like that again.

36 weeks pregnant:

Answer

You can not compare yourself to an 18 year old. That is not a realistic expectation. But you can definitely take time to focus on your self and set reasonable goals. You’re beautiful invest time in yourself

Answer

Cut yourself a break! Growing a baby is an amazingly hard thing that completely changes our bodies. The first few weeks as a mom was at least for me even harder than pregnancy. Also, there’s huge societal pressure to basically pretend like none of it happened and “erase” the evidence from your body. 
It’s horrible. It’s cruel to all women and doesn’t give us the space to enjoy our amazing tiny new people that WE created. You will find yourself again. But please, be kind
