I agree. The post baby stomach flop and tiny post breastfeeding boobs are almost as painful as labor.

Almost... :)

 

I hear you! I can't imagine what I would have felt like had I gone through these body changes at age 19!

But, alas, the pancake boobs seem to be more like a badge of honor at age 36!

(Wait, that might actually be more sad than funny!)

Heh.

 

Yes, what she said...only almost.

 

I remember the body changes as if it were yesterday. I was never thin to begin with, but now I look like my frumpy mother and I hate it. This momma is chaning her diet this year. It's time to be a hot mom.

Great post. It's so nice to see what other moms think about change.

 

Can someone please invent a non-invasive, inexpensive "re-perking" procedure for the boobs?
That person would make millions!

Sounds like you've had quite the year, but wow, it sounds inspiring.
Enjoy all that 2007 brings to you.

 

You're making me nervous ladies, because I'm still breastfeeding. Now I may never stop! I already have the tummy going, I don't know if I can take the boobs, too!

 

"hang" in there. Your body can bounce back. Yes, it takes time. But you can create a new - changed - identity that will be just as beautiful.

Best of luck in 2007!

 

This is a nice post. Nice in a way that at such a young age you are already wise beyond your years, because when I was 19 I was that clubbing and partying girl you speak of and had no idea what sacrifice really meant.

 

I didn't even have a kid and my breasts looked like saddlebags at the ripe of age of 20. Breast reduction surgery. It saved my shoulders and back.

 

Yeah, no one really tells you about all those "fun" changes that your body will make.

At least it's worth it.

 

oooh...I vaguely remember perky boobs. and I only pay attention to my stomach when I'm lying flat on my back. :P

 

It's funny because I'm much healthier now than before I got pregnant, but I'm much heavier. I seem to be good at maintaining the weight, but not so great at losing it. I with Suzanne on the breast reduction. I had it at 19 because of my giant old lady boobs.
