Self Portrait Sunday: Body Issues
Posted by Alli on September 28, 2008
So here it is, a self portrait for Sunday. I don’t have a lot to say except this pregnancy has given me some serious body issues. I keep wishing I had lost more weight before getting pregnant. I keep wishing I had a bigger bump so it looks more like “Wide load: Pregnant lady” instead of just “Wide load.”
I actually hate this picture because I can see how fat my face is getting (and yes, I realize the wax lips are just plain silly). It just looks bleah. When I first told Damon I was pregnant he told me he wondered if I was pregnant because my face was looking fuller. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I told myself he didn’t know what he was talking about. But now, I see what he saw, just a few months later.
Anyway, body issues are plaguing me this go around. I don’t feel cute and pregnant. I still don’t think I look pregnant at all- just a fat lady who says she is pregnant and wears maternity clothes because they are so much more comfortable.
So there is my self portrait in a picture and in words.
Want more pictures of people who are probably a bit more happy with themselves? Check out Cass’s comments.

I’m sorry you’re not feeling good about yourself, hon. For what it’s worth, I still think you’re beautiful. Love you!

I think you look great, although I remember feeling the same way while I was pregnant. I just kept trying to remind myself that it was all worth it in the end.

Ack. I feel your pain- I am going through a weird body image thing right now as well, must be something in the air- and it pretty much sucks.
But guess what?
You are gonna have a baby!!!! And you look beautiful.
AFTER you have the baby worry about weight loss- not right now… easier said than done- but try not to beat your self up… Pregnancy is beautiful period.
Give your self a hug, and pat my new little couzent.
You are fine Momma, just fine.
