Mom Life

I’m so nervous posting this...eek. It was only going to happen with a high waist black legging! And filters and lighting. Okay, so my best friend gave me a talking to on Saturday, that finally got through my thick scull. I was once a 95lbs girl for all my years (my non mom life). Then I had my 1st baby. When he was 2 my bestie @artimousblack & I went boxing like hrs a night and I got back into great shape. Then I got pregnant & had twins! So I’m not 95lbs. Not even close. 

As she said, I really need to let that go. I was that size for most of my life so I’ve been uncomfortable in this one. Can anyone relate!?!?! Postpartum bodies aren’t easy peasy as media would have us believe. I work out, constantly running after my 3 kids and twin turbo team. I’m busy. I’m tired at the end of the day, hell the middle of the day if they’ve really been fighting over every little thing (this exhausts me, do you find that?). Catherine generously said “You’re beautiful just the way you are now” and I’m starting to pump the brakes on tearing myself apart for not being a size zero. I have gotten into better shape this past year. Especially the last 2 months. It’s not where I want to be, but I should be happy with who I am. It’s a process and I’m getting there. Thank you to my true friends for setting me straight and always supporting me. Us Mamas have some big things to face the second we even become pregnant and the changes to my body continue, even though my twins are 4! Of course it’s worth it, but I wondered how many of you also feel like your post baby bodies just don’t feel right? Or struggle to get the previous version of yourself out of your head? Send me a msg and we can DM positive vibes to each other 🏼️ We are always better together, and stopping the competition among women.
