Thank you for this post, it could not have come at a better time. I have been beating myself up for gaining a few pounds and working out extra hours at the gym to lose that weight, but I think tonight I am going to sit and watch tv and eat bagel bites :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636469387388076513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100477352537773060.post-45812808853825382692014-02-18T17:36:53.837-08:002014-02-18T17:36:53.837-08:00I think you are beautiful and all moms :) I think you are beautiful and all moms :) Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626307076683586671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100477352537773060.post-39340573191233276642014-02-17T08:52:41.009-08:002014-02-17T08:52:41.009-08:00First off I think you look great and look at that ...First off I think you look great and look at that bundle of joy you have who cares!

I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me, as I am certain most girls do, due to magazines like Seventeen saying things like "get flatter abs" and concentrating on why un-flat abs are not to be considered beautiful. So what if my abs are not perfectly chiseled, I would never have thought there was something wrong with myself if someone hadn't given me that idea. Let's all just celebrate being happy first and foremost, healthy and buy ourselves a nice, new pair of jeans!

I feel like I've never heard any woman say "I love my body" without being sarcastic and this shouldn't be the norm.

Sure, it's important to take care of yourself and try to stay healthy, but happiness is also a huge part of keeping healthy. As long as you're happy within yourself, that's all that truly matters. You have a beautiful heart, and I love that I follow your blog.

But, as I've become more confident and accepting this amazing gift, I've realized this is what our bodies are made for. It is hard sometimes to see my stretching belly (and butt and thighs and everything else), but it is a beautiful thing we are able to do.<br />Jessy Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894824103659307269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100477352537773060.post-90170479594932186602014-02-13T09:39:58.504-08:002014-02-13T09:39:58.504-08:00I don't have kids quite yet, but I totally agr...I don't have kids quite yet, but I totally agree with you!
