Because I'm 8 months post partum and never lost the weight. My clothes are all hand me downs from my sister and I wear the same 2 dresses all the time. I was sick of it, and I have to stop lying to myself and say that I'll lose the weight. I have health issues so I can't exercise. Hopefully that will change soon, but until then, here's to accepting myself for who I am now!
-
Yay! Good for you! I decided to donate all of my pre-pregnancy clothes last year because I knew I would probably never lose the weight anyway. I had to stop kidding myself and accept me for me!
-
Go you! I'm only 7 weeks pp and I'm there with you about sick of the same clothes!
-
@banana: I have all sized clothes. I got rid of my size 0-6 clothes because I know I'll never wear those. But anything above that I'm keeping and just packing away. Although I have a feeling they'll be packed away for awhile....
@enjollah: I wore maternity clothes until 3 months. We were going on a camping trip and I was so embarrassed to still be in maternity, so I went to Walmart and bought new clothes. And that's when my sister gave me her clothes too.
-
@enjollah: me too. Looking back I wish I ha splurged on a nice pair of maternity jeans, I never thought i'd be in maternity clothes this long.
@artbee: it is good to accept it for yourself. I hope things look up soon and you can get back to exercising. -
Woohoo!!!! I am sure you will look and feel great in your new clothes!!
-
@miss-spunkin: Thanks! Unfortunately I'm still recovering for about 4 more weeks from surgery, so I can't really move until then. Can't wait till that's up and I can try walking again!
-
@artbee: Good for you, you deserve it!!
-
Aww. Glad you bought new clothes!!!
-
Good for you! Actually, feeling good about myself in my new wardrobe was the only way I eventually lost weight (not baby weight though).
Glad you have a new wardrobe! It's important to feel comfortable and pretty, too!
-
@artbee: so what exactly did you have surgery on/for? I know it was for something to do with migraines.
-
Yay! Hope you bought some cute stuff - you deserve it!
-
It is awesome to have clothes that fit well regardless of the size. I didn't lose any weight for 9 months after DS was born. I finally got my butt in gear and lost some weight, and now I'm between most of my clothes, so some are too big and others are tight or just fit. I can't wait to buy some new summer clothes.
-
I am glad you got yourself a new wardrobe! No matter what size you are, it always feels better to be wearing well fitted new clothes!
-
I agree with other posters, you really deserve it!
It doesn't matter how big or how small you are--it matters that you have clothes that you fit your body properly that you feel GOOD in! -
Yay! You definitely deserve it =)
-
Feels good, doesn't it? It is so important to dress the body that you have, not what you think you will be in the future! It's so important to have decent fitting clothes, it keps your self esteem and also how other people view you...I am really intolerant of the whole "well, my baby is in designer clothes, so I can be a schlump" mindset.
-
Fun!!
-
Awww thanks ladies!
@pastemoo: Yay, now I have hope that eventually mine will come off too!
@miss-spunkin: I had a nerve stimulator implanted in my neck. It's attached with wires to a battery pack which is in my lower back. I have a remote control to turn the amount of stimulation up and down depending on how my head feels. They're afraid the wires will come out of the stimulator because it takes 6 weeks for everything to heal up and stay in place, so I have to take it easy, not bend over, no sudden movements, etc.
@looch: My baby isn't in designer clothes, lol. She usually just wears a onesie. But my clothes are Ross.... so we go together.
