How did/do you feel good about yourself post-pregnancy?

[littleraysofsunshine]

Im 18wks pp with dc 3...

Lots of transverse abdominis exercises... My waist is slowly reappearing (DD is 5 months).

I felt great and I was the lightest I had been for years.

Then DS became a toddler and stopped BF and I put it all back on again.

Oh god I hate myself. I'm going cycvling before I eat another fucking doughnut in self pity.

I was size 12 and 11st. Now size 16 13st.

Tell me it gets better.
Dh still says I'm gorgeous. Would Think it was just me but the scales and my clothes don't lie.
