I shot this look at the end of September and it was one the first shoots I did after the baby. I was officially back to work and it was the first time seeing my body on the camera in pretty clothes postpartum. I was excited to get back to my element and finally wearing clothes that wasn't sweats because that was my uniform since getting home from the hospital. Out of 100 pictures I probably liked 2. I looked different and looking at that mom pouch was just making me wanting to cry. My photographer I work with is amazing, the shots as always look amazing but I hated the way my body looked. I loved everything, the shots, location and clothes but couldn't say the same for my body.
Last night I came across the file where these pictures were and said I was going to post these anyway pooch and all. It's taking me some time to adjust to my new body and since these pictures I have lost a few more pounds. My body still feels different and I don't think it will ever feel the same even if I ever drop back to my pre-baby weight and if I don't I'm ok with that too! Love yourself is what I keep repeating in my head and will say here to anyone who needs to hear those words. So love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself and be good to yourself!
