I've been kind of wanting to talk about this for a while and I didn't really know how to address it.⁠ So here it goes.⁠ I have been trying to be positive about my body.⁠ I didn't love my body when I was pregnant.⁠ And to be honest, I don't love it now.⁠ I know that it takes a long time for things to feel normal again.⁠ Whatever 'normal' is.⁠ I'm coming to terms with my new body and everything it can do.⁠ I mean it's incredible what the body can do. I am amazed by it actually.⁠ I kept this little bean safe which is more than I can ask for.⁠ But because I wasn't in love with my body, I didn't want to be in photos. Still don't really.⁠ I retract...not that I didn't/don't want to be in them, but more that I don't like how I look in them.⁠ ⁠ Over the past few months, I have come to the conclusion that I would much rather have physical evidence of memories of me and my family than to let the discomfort of my body image take over.⁠ So my goal from here on out is to capture more memories with me in them.⁠ No matter how it might make me feel in the moment.⁠ Chances are, I will look back and think 'what a great time we had - look at everything we did together' rather than 'I don't like the way I look'⁠ It's a work in progress.⁠ And for anyone that might be going through the same thing - I see you, I get you, and you aren't alone.
