Insecurities can take over.

After I gave birth, I no longer feel like a wife. I feel disgusting and ashamed of my body. I’m afraid to let my husband see me naked.

Nothing seems to be working.

I just want to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see. My body betrayed me. I worked out. Ate healthy.. here I am... 2 years after child birth; disgusted.

People don't get it.

I'm afraid I will never get my body or life back after I give birth. 

Everything is over for me and my boyfriend doesn't understand.

It's discouraging.

I know I'm supposed to embrace my body after I have a baby. But... i hate my body. It's been 6 months since I gave birth and I look like a deflated balloon. I'm dieting and exercising. Wtf.

For some, it's like nothing ever even happened.

I'm proud that, with my pregnancy, my body bounced back to normal after birth.
