That happened to me today!
My SMIL gave us a photo album today and there was a picture of dh and I a few years ago before we got married. It was depressing!
I'm using that as motivation after this baby is here! I still have the jeans, I had to wear a belt with them then, that belt has since been banished for two years, lol.
I can remember complaining about gaining to much weight then, boy was I wrong!

Us women are so hard on ourselves!! I've done the same thing. I recently was looking at a picture from right before I got pregnant, I looked so good! Of course at the time I didn't feel like that but now I'd kill to look like that!!

Same here! I have a picture of myself and my 12 week baby bump forming which at the time I thought was really noticeable. Now I see that pic and think my abs look great lol also looking at my face I feel my face looks older now. Maybe it's lack of sleep wearing me down lol

Yes. I used to be underweight, too skinny and couldn't gain weight for anything. Now I'm overweight and can't lose it

Ugh, yes totally. I was looking at pictures of our wedding and realized how good I looked. It's sad because at the time I didn't realize it and thought I was huge.
My prom pictures make me even more depressed!!! lol
But it makes me wonder - should I be happy with my body now?? In 5 years will I look back and pictures from this period and wish I'd known I looked good?

@char54: God I hope I look better than this in five years!!! Good point though 
I was tan, toned, blonde, I want to be that girl again. I ate almost only bananas for a year and those are the results I got, I don't think I could do that again I love food too much!

Yes! Especially when I see old videos. I was so small! Why did I think otherwise?

Not pregnancy related but I get more depressed when I look back at a picture and realize this was X months after we started TTC and here we are today still not pregnant. (Sorry, infertility woes.)

Yes, especially these days since I haven't really bought many new clothes because I don't go out much anymore! Pre-baby I worked out every day so I was toned and generally happy with my body. Post-baby, I've worked out probably 10 times and have lost the baby weight but my muscles seem to have disappeared!
