Why do I feel fat? This is why...

Wear the right clothes, you look fine-to other people.
You're NOT chubby, you look fine-to other people.
You're a great size for having 3 kids-to other people.

I don't CARE WHAT other people think of how I look. It's what I think. It's how I feel. I'm not looking to go down to pre-pregnancy weight. I'd look ridiculous. I just want to feel good about myself when I'm with my husband. He loves me this way. It's MY issue. My feelings. MY body image.

I want to wear my regular old size 6 jeans and NOT have a muffin top for Gods sake. I want to be able to wear a tighter fitting top without having to suck in my stomach all day long.

But.

How far am I will to go? That's the real question.

Honestly, I don't think anyone is ever really happy w/their body. It's easier to say someone looks amazing bc we're not in their body 24/7 and able to see all the inperfections. I get scared sometimes that it will never be enough for me. I just have to remind myself that the stretch marks aren't going anywhere. My hips will never be back to where they were. My boobs are a lost cause (unless I go under the knife again). I try to stay a 1/2 glass full type of person and remind myself that I am healthier than i've ever been. I exercise more than I ever have. Over and over and over or i'll get in a poor me slump over the stupid crap that I did to my body while I was prego that I will have to live w/for the rest of my life. Like gaining a crap load of weight and thinking it would melt right off. Silly me...

Anyway, that was all just to remind you that you are not alone on not being happy w/your body. :)
