It's true.
And I love your avi!

I second this   OP, make sure now that you have opened that tricky line of communication up.....keep it open. Do some self inspection and try to figure why this situation automatically cause to jump to the conclusion that you did, then discuss it w/SO.

We all make mistakes sometimes. I'm so happy to hear that it was all a misunderstanding.

Yeah.. I mean really, I know exactly why I thought what I did.
I am SO insecure since I had DS.
I feel like a horrible, ugly, fat, boring hag. I feel bad that I can't be pretty for him, haven't lost the baby weight, and I can't go out and do fun things with him like I used to.
I absolutely LOVE DS and motherhood is the absolute best experience of my life so far, but pregnancy killed what little self-esteem I had. I have awful (but warranted) body image issues. And this Sara girl is just the weight I'd like to be, and she is just a very pretty girl.
So yeah. Most of this was coming from the inside out, and not the outside in, if that makes sense!
Thanks for all your supportive words     I really needed them.

i definately know where u r coming from...having 6 kids my body has taken a bashing! Could you get a gym membership that has daycare? It would make u feel soooo much better. I am going back to the gym next week (had to wait till LO turned 3mo to go in the daycare)
Exercising not only makes you look better but it improves your physical and mental health. It also gives u a break from LO.....after you workout ,you can shower at the gym and take time to put makeup on.
I have been going nuts waiting for my LO to go.....here it runs about $35 a month for a membership w/childcare and it is definately worth the investment!

It's funny you say that- I just did my first 2 hour workout at Planet Fitness yesterday! Holy crap, I am so sore. I'm going to start calling my abs 'flabs' because I am so out of shape.
But I gained 80 POUNDS with LO so I've got a long journey ahead of me. Just have to keep telling myself to stick with it.
And WOW. 6 children and you find time to go to the gym still? You are superwoman!! I can only hope I am blessed with a large family, too. If my body and mind can handle it, lol.

start out slow momma! 2hrs is to much ....you body will rebel against you. Try starting out with 30mins a day for the first few weeks. alternate your days of cardio & weight/circut training

I'm really late responding to this (sorry guys) but I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that things worked out!
