Yes I have a wrinkly bellybutton. Yes under those high waisted leggings there’s a LOT of wrinkly skin. Yes I cried and avoided my reflection in the mirror for a long time. I never “got my body back” as many magazines claim. * Before I saw my new body I had never seen something like it. It was shocking to me. All the postpartum images in my head were of women in bikinis that had gotten their bodies back with healthy eating and exercise. But there I was trying to understand why I didn’t even though I had done those things. * 5 years and two pregnancies more later and I’ve slowly learned to accept it. I won’t tell you I don’t struggle, but I take care of this new body. I nourish it with good things and move it to make it stronger. I don’t believe in getting things back after you become a mom. You get new things. Good and bad or maybe just different. You learn to accept them and get the best of them. * So here I am. Showing a peekaboo of this body. Years ago I needed to see other postpartum bodies that weren’t perfect like mine. So I’ll be one even If I’m not brave enough to show it all. * Do you agree we need media showing us different postpartum bodies? Not just those that look great? Btw I have nothing against other postpartum bodies. I may be a little jealous but you rock! I just think we need more diversity. * Ps. Outfit linked in my bio and these leggings are amazing to keep my flabby stomach in place. http://liketk.it/2vTEU #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.family #LTKfit #LTKunder50 #LTKcurves #therefinedwoman #theverygirl #realstagram #realnotperfect
