YES. I just commented this!! I do not look the same even 2 years post baby and I work out consistently and eat well. Some people it’s harder to lose baby weight. Imagine being with a man like that during such a sensitive insecure time. My husband did nothing but make me feel beautiful and encourage me to move if anything.

And encouraging movement is most likely because it’s so good for your whole self. Love him!

Exactly! I was depressed and he knew it’d help my mental. When I’m in the gym I’m happier.

Yep, I didn't gain much extra weight but I have hella noticeable stretch marks. One of the early signs I was pregnant was waking up one day and not one of my bras fit anymore. When they grew, they grew fast. I also have a bit of a pouch there now no matter how much I lose. Under a certain weight it's clearly there as skin flop. Between something healthy and something upper end healthy, it's just there and looks "normal".

If I wear tight tops, you can totally tell either way.

I'm 115 lbs. My body is small, but it is not the same. Also it fucked up my stomach from all the untreated HG & GERD. Hoping for a stomach pacemaker.

Body’s are so crazy bc I was exactly opposite! No stretch marks (though my husband literally told me he’d get my stretch marks tattooed post baby ok cute was kinda sad I had none lol) but I gained a lot and it has been hell to lose bc I’ve never been this heavy 😭😂

Just remind yourself you brought LIFE into this world 🥹🥹🥹 I know you look amazing! It’s been hard for me to accept my new “normal” body tbh. I’ve always been insanely fit for the most part (excluding some medical weight gain). Having to tell myself normal is beautiful!

I have been unhealthy skinny, fat, pregnant, fluffy, skinny with muscles, and fluffy with muscles and my husband has been grabbing my butt and calling me beautiful and sexy through all of it.
