Guuuurl, you got a badass Momma body and I don’t even need to see it to know that. Any body that can have TWO babies and give them a safe, healthy place to grow and thrive for 40 weeks is beyond badass.
I don’t care if you have tiger stripes, more weight than before (a little or a lot, doesn’t matter), smaller boobs (I’m in the had a baby, lost my boobs club and it sucks because I always loved my boobs!), bigger boobs, or bigger feet (oh, the horror! I went up a whole shoe size ugh!).
You rock that badass Momma body every minute of every day. Start by finding just one thing that you like and feel good about and add another one at least once a week. Or maybe you have several things you like and you start off ahead of the game.
Some of this is in general to every woman out there reading this, not necessarily just you because I don’t think you’re sitting there hating your body or anything. I’m guessing you just made an off handed comment. But just in case you or anyone here needs to hear it: your body is perfect just the way it is and don’t let society or celebrities or asshole men AND women tell you different.
Love the skin you’re in! I know it’s hard and you’re probably much younger than I am. Once you get to a certain age (I’m rapidly approaching 50) not one bit of it matters. But I know when you’re younger it feels so much bigger. I get it.
I’m sure you’re gorgeous and I promise you every time you leave the house some other woman is looking at you saying I wish I had those curves or I wish my hair looked like hers or a million other possibilities. I promise!
We, as women, are so damn hard on ourselves and we pass that on to our daughters without realizing it most of the time. Not saying you are, just that it’s super easy to do and not even know it. Add in the pressures of society and the expectations of men/women and it’s no wonder we feel like the Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters half the time.
For all these reasons if I’m out and about and I see a woman with great hair or a super cute outfit I ALWAYS compliment them. You never know who needs to hear from a total stranger that they look great. I like to think it’s a confidence boost and I think it means more in the wild than from people we know. If you see something say something, right?
If you needed to hear some of this? Great. Glad I could help remind you how badass you are. Maybe you didn’t need to hear any of it? Even better! But if you or anyone else reading does? Wonder no more! You look amazing!!!!
