It's daft really, like you say we have carried amazing little ones into this world, so a few bulges is nothing. I would much rather the stretch marks and bulges and have them, than have a size 8 physique and be without them.

In fact I'm ok with my body right now only because I'm pregnant, but pre pregnancy my body was not how I wanted it. And I hated it. And obviously when this baby comes out I've no doubt I'll return to not liking what I see. It's great to have all these positive image mottos but ultimately it's down to how each person feels about themselves. I've come to accept my body- but that doesn't mean I like it and don't wish I had a fairy godmother! lol Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594256283995726900.post-42951944925818049982017-03-16T20:54:37.705+00:002017-03-16T20:54:37.705+00:00It's hard.

We never really know what's going on for people and the images we see have been edited so that we feel like these people are happy and everything is wonderful. Don't believe all you see. It's easy to put a brave face on things when posting on social media, so I'd bet half the pictures you've seen weren't posted by people who were totally fine with how they looked.<br /><br />It's good that you can be so honest. Maybe it's worth thinking about what you attach to how your body looks. Is it self-worth? Is it that you compare yourself to others? I hope you can find a way through to love yourself.
