Don’t get me wrong – I wouldn’t really trade anything for my baby, but do you also go through these after having put on weight post pregnancy?
No body shaming here. This is #Justforlaughs. I have experienced each one of these at some point.
I have had my struggle with weight issues post pregnancy. Sometimes I made peace with it, sometimes I did win over it. But the confidence and experiences that I have gained after being a mother are priceless. I wouldn’t trade these for a slimmer version of myself.

Tremendous pressure on the phone camera for the perfect angle to capture your picture looking thinner, your hair in place and the perfect smile (not too many teeth). And then shortlisting out of the gazillion pictures to put up on social media.
Switching from vodka to mojito (not virgin) cause you can see some greens in your glass.
Convincing your daughter “I wasn’t snoring that sound was due to the eternal cold”.

Going through an inner turmoil after having booked an uber. “I should have walked back home today but now I’ll be charged a cancellation fee.”
Constantly wondering whether blinking of eyelids and flipping your hair would count as a form of exercise.
Going through your old albums and finding the anorexic you and lamenting over it.
Dealing with the constant urge of posting a before and after collage on social media is the toughest.
Does it happen to you ladies?
