Every time I find a picture of myself in a bikini from the old days, I want to slap myself in the face for thinking I was fat back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319895 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:24:42 +0000 Mrs.M57 319895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, I try not to too often, it makes me sad to see how skinny I was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319881 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:11:27 +0000 travelgirl1 319881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, big time. I have always been really slight and put loads of weight on in this pregnancy. When people tell me I don't look prego from behind I want to smack them - this is NOT my ass!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319404 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:17:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 319404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup i look old. you can see it in the eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319356 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:52:04 +0000 mrsjyw 319356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto @hilsy85 - def did not appreciate it when i had it. was looking through old fb pics... and even thinking about how at some stages i thought i was "fat..." </p> <p>30+ lbs later....wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319350 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:50:18 +0000 stargal 319350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup myself in a bikini...sigh.... i know my stomach will never look like that again even if i get it flat, these lovely strech marks are here to stay. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319328 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:37:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 319328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I agree with everything you said. I've never dieted before, or even had to restrict my eating, and it's really hard for me to do. I feel like I'm working hard but I don't see much improvement, and I have cried in the dressing room when I went shopping for new clothes because I felt like nothing fit right. :/ I miss my old body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-319267 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:20:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 319267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah :( I feel so... blah right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-277141 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:37:39 +0000 Amelieisme 277141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I really didn't appreciate how I looked before. I am 4 weeks post-partum and went and bought what I hope will be my "fat" jeans in the future today...I just can't stand wearing my maternity clothes any more which I just feel accentuate my "leftovers" as my DH's grandfather put it the other day :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-277126 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:31:32 +0000 MamaBehr 277126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The weight doesn't bother me so much, it is my mommy body right? (I still have about ten pounds to go for my pre-first born weight) But the looking younger thing, I completely miss that! It is amazing what so many sleepless nights can do to a person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-277090 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:15:54 +0000 rachiecakes 277090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, pretty much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-277053 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:02:00 +0000 autumnlove 277053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! All the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276986 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:37:54 +0000 hilsy85 276986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Especially since i definitely did not appreciate how thin and fit I was :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276912 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:11:01 +0000 Ree723 276912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm right there too. I've never been out of shape or even slightly overweight, so adjusting to a post-baby body is really difficult for me. I miss being in shape and hate the way about 90% of clothes look on me now. I'm 10 weeks pp and am really trying hard to get my old shape back. Like @Rubies, I'm just so uncomfortable with my body right now. Everyone says not to worry about it and that's it all worth it to have a precious baby, which I agree with, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept my current shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276900 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:07:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 276900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heh. yes. moreso a year or two before I got pregnant. I was having serious weight issues in the months before getting pregnant. I finally cracked down and started losing weight, I lost a little over 10 lbs before getting pregnant. I'm so glad I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276898 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:07:00 +0000 yin 276898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to cry! I still look young, but I want my old body back pronto. I had to go through all of my old clothes and donate some to my younger sister (even some good Anthropologie pieces). It made me so sad to know that I will never fit into my favorite clothes again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276894 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:06:17 +0000 Running Elley 276894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I'm still pregnant, hugely so at the moment, and looking back at pre-preg pictures makes me want to cry! I just keep telling myself that it's more motivation to work hard once LO arrives. Not much longer now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276889 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:04:35 +0000 Rubies 276889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I get miserable. Like, really, really, down in the dumps miserable. I am so uncomfortable with my body right now. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cringe-and-want-to-cry-when-you-look-at-pre-baby-pictures#post-276855 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:57:39 +0000 chopsuey 276855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have been going through all of our old pictures.. and OMG! </p> <p>I forgot how skinny, pretty and young I used to look!!!!</p> <p>I can't wait to have my body baccccck.. one day! :( </p>
