Tired of it.

I’m a small person, always have been. When I was pregnant I gained a ‘healthy’ 50 lbs.

Fast forward 5 years. I have finally lost all the baby weight (and I mean I haven’t gained it back in a year unlike before when I’d go back and forth.

I have a lot of body insecurity. My boobs are covered in stretch marks from pregnancy. My stomach is small but the skin has been stretched and now is loose and in jeans I have to buy a little bigger because I can’t stand how my skin folds over... muffin top of skin ☹️

Yes in clothing I look great. Standing sure look good. But bend my body in any way and between my boobs and my stomach, HATE.

It is what it is, but I am frankly sick of people saying “you can’t even tell you had a kid” or “you have nothing to complain about” or how I “should be thankful I’m still small”. (Mind you I work my ass off for my physique, yes genetics were helpful but I have a strict diet and routine...)

These comments come from other moms, moms who should know and understand how changes are hard and EVERYONE can dislike things about themselves, but saying you shouldn’t complain or have nothing to dislike, it’s annoying as fuck!

Yeah I’m skinny, yes I have muscle tone, does that mean my body is perfect or I’m happy with it? No. Does that mean I can’t vent about my insecurities without them being dismissed? No. Why can’t we listen and encourage women of ALL body types without dismissing their feelings?!?
