It was a wake up that I can't keep eating whatever and not working out. I got super depressed last week trying on dresses for a wedding this weekend and nothing fit. So I had to go and buy something, money I didn't want to spend at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165962 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:39:46 +0000 KT326 1165962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wake up call was prior to pregnancy. I saw some pictures and my face just looked so round. And I had a double chin. Then I got pregnant and gained another 55 pounds. No fun. I'm finally at a point (18 months pp) where I feel good about myself. I am about 10lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight and I want to lose another 15-20lbs before I get pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165960 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:39:12 +0000 sotofamilia 1165960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I had a similar moment this weekend - I weighed myself at my dads house. I don't know what's happened to me, but this is the heaviest I've ever been, besides pregnancy (and honestly, I'm not that far away from that number, the heaviest I've ever been in my life). :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165956 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:37:59 +0000 aprk 1165956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel bad about my body, or terribly large, but then I see a picture and it's like oh crap, *thats's* what I look like???! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165947 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:34:05 +0000 cascademom 1165947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely understand. From about 3-9 months postpartum, I didn't care about my body. I got weighed at the doctor's office and saw that I was 222 lbs. It was a huge wakeup call. That coupled with my mom's encouragement to do WW, I realized how bad I had gotten. Since mid-June, I've dropped 22-23 lbs through Weight Watchers and lots of walking. It's helped me so much through the postpartum stuff. Oddly enough, doing WW has given a sense of control in something when you've got a busy toddler, marriage, and work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165940 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:28:48 +0000 Bookish 1165940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I hear ya. My weight is still 20lbs up but what really bothers me is the spare tire around my middle. I saw a pic from last weekend and I still look pregnant in my midsection...I hadn't realized how bad it was. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165783 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:40:52 +0000 looch 1165783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally know what you mean...I got a photo in the mail from a birthday party (in the thank you note) and it was a wakeup call that I needed to do something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165779 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:39:59 +0000 Cherrybee 1165779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite!! I have always been chunky (with the exception of a couple of periods in my life when I crash dieted long enough to make a short-lived difference) and I have never really worried too much about it. PP, I'm obsessed with how fat and ugly I feel. I long to wear beautiful clothes and feel good about myself. I can't say as it's promoting me to do much about it, but the desire is there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image#post-1165727 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:29:14 +0000 DillonLion 1165727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried to be gentle towards myself regarding my physical appearance post baby. But a bunch of pictures are surfacing from a girls weekend and I just look so incredibly large. Just not like myself at all. It just caught me off guard. I jave been living in the dark and trying not to worry aboutit, but something needs to be done. I guess eating fast food and never exercisiing is no good? Who knew ;)</p> <p>Eta: not fishing for compliments! Just wondering if snyone else ever didnt realize that they looked totally different post baby </p>
