I was like "Look at this belly.." I was going to end my sentence with "I wish it would go away" or something like that, but I remembered that my DDs were in the room behind me, and that they hear everything I say, so I ended my sentence with "...it's pretty awesome. My babies lived in here." and you know what? It totally made me feel better to say that, instead of just picking apart my reflection out loud to myself. So, thanks, ladies. You rock.  |
That's exactly what I am trying already to catch myself doing. So that when S is older, she has a bunch of positive messages to learn from, rather than the beating-myself-up thing I've done most of my life.It's so hard to change that, but every little bit helps. That's awesome that you did that!!
I have to remind myself of that too. When I start feeling bad about my pooch there, I remember, women are SUPPOSED to have that. That's how we grow human beings!
