☁️new mom confession: so I lost almost 25 lbs after I had ziggy. but with the c- section I had to wait to work out so I had 20 more to go. also breast feeding has been very difficult w my work schedule & my pump broke a week ago. so the last week and a half I’ve hit a plateau. I honestly have been looking in the mirror and feeling very bad about myself. I’ll say it. maybe not when I have clothes on but on between showers or anytime I try to wear anything from pre pregnancy. this journey has been so odd. it’s the best time of your life but there are so many moments you feel lost and judged. you go back to work early and you feel like people are judging you for taking too much on, and you judge yourself worried that you can’t perform but also working makes you feel like yourself + provides for you and baby. you are body positive but hate what you see in the mirror and get angry with yourself for not being patient enough with this journey. for feeling invisible because you’re just someone’s mom now. so I went window shopping with ziggy & a friend today and tried a bunch of dresses from @reformation today, a store I used to love. most of them wouldn’t even zip up in the back if I’m honest, but this red one made me feel pretty & ziggy was hyping me up smiling and giggling with each dress I tried. making me remember the reason why my body has changed so and that she is 💯 worth it. also - being a former soho ref shopper I must compliment the atlanta team at ponce. they were so kind and helped me size up and feel comfortable. point of my long rant meant for a journal? it’s okay to feel like shit sometimes and it’s okay to cheer yourself up too. 🌹🌹🌹〰️✨
