I'm going to be honest with you. I went on weight watchers for a reason. I wanted to lose weight. I did. I lost it. Then I got pregnant. I now look at every girl with a flat stomach with disdain. "How dare she!" I hate gaining weight. I hate that I eat a piece of cake when before I was pregnant I wouldn't. You know those women who just look pregnant when they turn around? The ones you can't tell they're pregnant from behind? I thought I would be one of those. Now I'm just a square in the front with a big belly in profile.
You can say "The pregnant body is beautiful." Really? Then you have one. Waddling at 17 weeks doesn't feel beautiful. Stretch marks don't feel beautiful. Wearing my pants unbuttoned doesn't feel beautiful.
Call me shallow, call me what you like, it's just a lot harder than I thought it would be to wrap my head around this belly of mine.
Harumph!

I feel your pain. I am now 12 weeks, and have gained a little less than 10 pounds. Last year I had lost about 40 before my wedding. I feel like I am going backwards, but then I have to remind myself that it is natural. I will just have to work as hard to get it off again after the baby is born. Just part of it....I feel your pain though....
