I miss my body!
I feel like I am probably overly concerned and need to be more patient - but I miss my prepregnancy body. I just went out to buy some clothes...how depressing. I feel since I had the baby my body is deformed...I am just not used to it I guess...I'm a little sad about it...

Well I don't have my old one back but at 4 nearly 5 months I am very happy with my new one! Give it some time and try to work out or walk as often as you can!

I'd have to agree....Jen you are amazingly beautiful in the Rosh Hashana pic you posted and I'm sure the rest of what we couldn't see is beautiful!

Re: I miss my body!
Thanks you guys 
I guess I can deal with having a different body than before - bigger boobs, bigger hips
(although I will get rid of the bigger tummy!) It's just that I feel so disconnected from it - I miss knowing what looks good on me, or what size I am - everything is so different now, and I have no clue!

Jen...I give you credit for going shopping....I refuse until I get back to pre-preggo weight....DH keeps yelling at me to go out and buy clothes but I just can't do it yet.....I just can't give in to buying bigger sizes......so its going to be sweats for now until those last 7 pounds come off.

Re: I miss my body!
I totally can relate to what you're feeling now. I felt the same way...I was so depressed that none of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit me. I tortured myself by trying on the clothes daily (well almost). But now, at 4 months, I'm a happy girl again. I actually can't remember what it felt like to be pregnant...
Don't worry...it won't be long now...

Re: I miss my body!
Get this, I weigh less than I did pre-pregnancy, but I'm wearing 2 pant-sizes bigger than I did pre-pregnancy. It makes me feel disgusted.

My Husband and I have had the same exact conversation! The only reason I went shopping is because I have a huge show next week for my jewelry and I like to look somewhat fashionable - so I needed to get something to wear. But that is IT for the shopping until I am a size or two smaller.

I feel/felt the same way. It is very hard to deal with. Even though others may say you look great and stuff, you don't feel the same and not being able to buy something because you have no clue what looks good on this new shape is so hard to deal with.
At about 4-5 months, I gave in and bought some new stuff a size bigger that fit me right and it did make me feel better because it looked right on me. I didn't buy much though because I am determined to go back to my new size. I even bought some stuff at the outlets for the fall, trying to accept the new shape. I mean I was only a few pounds (like 2-3) over my pre-preggo weight but very little of my old stuff fit right or my old size.
But if this helps you any, I can say the stuff that I bought at the outlets is now falling off me!!! I am so happy. And I am starting to fit back in my regular size (I am at 8 months post now). I never thought it would happen!! I am at my pre-preggo weight (although I still want to lose 2-3 more pounds to get back to my more comfy weight). I think finally I am starting to go back to that old shape. And Dh actually said he thought I looked skinner than before...which I know isn't true but felt good!!!!! So it took longer than I wanted it to and it was hard btu I am getting there. Hope that gives you some hope too!!!

Re: I miss my body!
I know that although I am less then my pre-pregnancy weight, my body has changed a LOT. Certain parts of me are thinner then pre-preg (like my arms) and other parts are bigger then pre-preg (like my midsection and thighs).
Just think of it this way. Now you have a reason to buy an ENTIRE new wardrobe!!! Keep shopping till you find stuff you love!
