I gained 100 pounds and haven’t bounced back.

I see so many posts of women who bounce back the week after they give birth.

Whenever I see these pictures I have two thoughts:

1. Wow that woman is amazing

2. I am a fat ugly cow

My self worth plummets and I feel gross.

But I fail to remember the incredible things my body has accomplished- growing a human and feeding a human!!

While it’s true I haven’t bounced back at all and I gained a significant amount of weight during pregnancy (100 pounds) despite trying to watch what I ate, working out and going to work at an active job- it doesn’t mean I am worth any less than someone else who has bounced back and who didn’t gain much weight.

We are all wonderful and amazing regardless of size or circumstance.

We all rock.

So if you’re like me and you feel upset with yourself when you see a post of a very fit woman who just gave birth- just remind yourself what you’ve accomplished and be proud. You are woman!! Let’s roar! ❤️
