Since I am almost six months postpartum I wanna talk about something I’ve been struggling with lately: finding yourself again after pregnancy and birth. I’m not gonna lie. I feel like I’m failing. As a mother. As a partner. As a friend. To my clients. I feel like I’m not doing enough in any aspects of life. We order out food more than I care to admit. Our house is not as clean as I’d like it to be. The biggest thing is I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. I have lost 70% of the weight I gained while pregnant (and it wasn’t a lot as I didn’t look that pregnant even in the end). I wear a size 10 in pants. I have never been a 10 before which I am struggling with. My body composition has changed. I don’t look like myself but I also realize my body changed to carry baby muppet. It’s a weird thing to look at yourself in the mirror and not recognize yourself sometimes. Anyways this is your reminder that social media is a highlight reel and you never know what anyone is going through and to seek out support (whatever that may be) when you need it.
