I think it is unhealthy to think too much about yourself at all. It is better to think about your loved ones, and if you do not have any loved ones, find some! You do look great. So many people wish they could be 130 pounds again. But really, whether you look great, or not, it better to focus on other things.

You are definitely too critical of yourself, you look great young lady and that tattoo of yours is icing on the cake. IMHO, don’t change a damn thing.

It’s funny the things we see in the mirror.

Take care.

It’s a headfuck when you aren’t the way you were/the way you WANT to look. The thing to remember, however, is that people see you with very different eyes (literally and figuratively). I see those birthday snaps and I think “there’s a gorgeous gal!”. Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s cool if you want to get back to wearing your old clothes, but don’t put yourself through hell to get there. They’re just clothes and the weight isn’t going to change the person you are.

it must be the onslaught of bathing suit season that has all of us concerned about our bodies. I was just going to do a body image post of my own, and I noticed that others have been doing it like crazy lately.

I can definitely feel your pain about the weight gain. I got FAT while pregnant. I weighed 186lbs the day before Brooklyn was born, and I too am only 5′3″. I know it was my own fault…I ate what I wanted and didn’t exercise. I guess I just assumed it would all melt away after she was born. I am now down to 135 lbs and in a size 8-10, and it kills me that I HATE the way that I look. I try to tell myself that there are women who would kill to be 135 lbs and wear a size 8, but it doesn’t make it any better. I am still about 20lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight, and I know that even if I make it back down to 115, my body will never be the same. It is stretched out and marked in ways that I can never rewind. I will always be covered in stretch marks and I always have that flabby extra skin (until I’m rich and can afford a tummy tuck). And I know that I should be proud of my body for nourishing my baby for 9 months while she was inside of me and now for four months after she was born, but I guess I’m just selfish in that I want ME back….

Ug…but enough about me. You look fabulous corinna, and who says that yoga pants can’t be for going out?

Your weight sounds just like mine. Same fluctuations and skinny and feeling fat at 130 and losing weight under stress/depression. Don’t you hate how no one (or very few people) understand that when you’re 107lbs for most of your adult life and then are 130 you feel like a cow and nothing fits and GAWD the misery. I know exactly how you feel. It sucks. I currently have three pairs of jeans because I refuse to buy more at this size. As soon as I buy a bunch of new clothes the weight will drop and I’ll be pissed again. /sigh Where’s my sock monkey??
