I was prepared for my body to be different pp, but I wasn’t prepared for this...

I’ve always struggled with body image, but over the past 10 years of being with my husband, I’ve come a long way and finally gotten to a place where I feel pretty comfortable with me & my body. I feel like I was mentally prepared for my body to be different pp & to be a little heavier with the goal of staying healthy, but not stressed about being the same size or weight I was before.

What I wasn’t prepared for is being smaller than I was before... I’m down 18 lbs from my prepregnancy weight and at 5’2” that’s a lot of weight on me. I literally weigh less than I did at 16 (now 28).

I have really mixed feelings, I feel like I should be happy, but I worry that the weight will come back when I stop BFing & then I will struggle with wanting this back and not being as content as I was before. I hate that I feel like people like this version of me better, people are constantly commenting on how thin/good I look. Even my amazing husband who I know loves me regardless, I know is enjoying the way I look right now a lot! I just don’t want to hate my body again and I know (in the past) this is not a manageable weight for me. I’m not sure why I’ve lost so much weight (like seriously I eat so much ice cream 😳) but I don’t expect it to stay this way. I feel stupid complaining about this, but maybe y’all can give me some words of encouragement or maybe someone can relate 🤷‍♀️
