Why are those extra 10 pounds justified because I birthed babies and am nearly 40 yrs old? They aren't. I know it sounds vain but I don't want to LOOK like I've birthed 4 babies. And I definitely don't want to feel like it!Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-25284321976123268832012-07-05T14:08:58.894-04:002012-07-05T14:08:58.894-04:00Yes I do struggle with this all the time! and then...Yes I do struggle with this all the time! and then I get all snooty, like "Well I've had six kids, so that's why I look this way..." but I have to be honest, that excuse isn't really holding any more! I'm 20 months postpartum... can't really call it baby weight! I think it has something to do with my constant eating as if I am still pregnant or nursing!<br /><br />Time to stop comparing and to get back on that treadmill :)Emily Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014196267197823268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-661571510747024282012-07-04T21:15:11.733-04:002012-07-04T21:15:11.733-04:00Thank you, ladies.

Short people want to be tall, tall people want to be short. Just remember that tall with curves is just as beautiful as tiny with small bones! :DStephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-83382596531474047242012-07-04T14:49:42.248-04:002012-07-04T14:49:42.248-04:00First of all, you both look great!

She bounced right back after having her baby, and was able to wear itty bitty bikinis when her son was 2 months old. I always have to remind myself that I am tall with curves and I always will be. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885181421426829024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-33934101354387791582012-07-04T12:11:34.858-04:002012-07-04T12:11:34.858-04:00Great post!

While I don't think we should be content with allowing our bodies to be unhealthy, we do need to understand what is truly a healthy weight and size for our unique bodies.Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-2964648497849469162012-07-04T04:21:34.297-04:002012-07-04T04:21:34.297-04:00You are so right...we are all unique with unique b...You are so right...we are all unique with unique body types and comparison is always destructive.
