I have to admit that since I gave birth to my last child I have not been able to feel the same about myself. I mean, I went from a 7 pound daughter to a 9.4 pound son! Trust me, it was quite a shocker, but needless to say my body changed, and so did I. Suddenly I began to lose my self-confidence, feel a little odd about form-fitting clothes, and shy away from bright colors. In reality I had no reason for it, so I have decided to stop, and come to terms with the new me.
Even though I’m still in considerate good shape after 2 kids,
it is challenging to feel attractive and beautiful when we look at ourselves in the mirror, and don’t see the same person we were used to seeing. In addition, the over-glorification of the body by the media does not help either. When you become some sort of a public figure, there is a pressure to look polished at all times, but why allow outside judgments to temper with our sense of self? If we are healthy and feel great, then regardless of what others think, we must not make ourselves feel less than anyone else.
Now I say: So what? Change is not bad when it comes after such huge blessings as healthy children. As moms we must remind ourselves that our bodies are prove of the miracle we have been part of and embrace it even by rocking crop tops! Looking back, I think it has been this trend what has reminded me that we only look as good as we feel we do!

Did You Miss My Latest Post? COLOMBIA AT WORLD CUP 2014!
Tengo que admitir que después de dar a luz a mi último hijo no me he sentido igual sobre mí misma. Créeme después de pasar de tener una hija de 7 lb and un hijo de 9.4 lbs, mi cuerpo y yo cambiamos demasiado. De repente comencé a perder la confianza en mí misma, a sentirme rara al ponerme ropa ajustada, y dejé los colores fuertes a un lado. En realidad no hay razón para sentirme asi y es por eso que he decidido reflexionar y aceptar mi nueva persona.
A pesar que todavía me encuentro en buena forma aún después de 2 hijos, es un reto vernos al espejo y sentirnos bonitos o atractivos cuando el reflejo no es igual al que estamos acostumbrados. Además la sobre-glorificación del cuerpo por parte de los medios no ayuda demasiado. Cuándo te conviertes en una persona un poco pública hay una cierta presión para verte perfecta siempre, pero: ¿por qué permitir que juicios externos corrompan nuestra auto-estima? Si nos sentimos saludables y bien con nosotros mismos, entonces no debe importar la opinión ajena y no debemos sentirnos inferiores a los demás.
Ahora digo: ¿Y qué? El cambio no es dañino cuando viene luego de unas bendiciones tan hermosas como 2 hijos saludables. Las madres debemos recordarnos a nosotras mismas que nuestros cuerpos son prueba del maravilloso milagro del que hemos sido parte, y aceptarlos incluso usando los Crop Tops o Blusas Cortas. Al mirar atrás me doy cuenta que ha sido el furor de esta tendencia el que me ha ayudado a recordar que ¡solamente nos vemos tan bien como nos sentimos!

This is very true- I felt great after my first, lost all of the weight and bounced back without any real issue.
However, I haven’t after the other two babies and am going through that body image issue right now. I think you look fantastic. If that’s you post two babies, you’ve got nothing to worry about lol.
Fab dress.

Ladies, quit blaming the media – they are irrelevant and NOT REAL. It is NORMAL to change after having kids. It is NORMAL to see yourself differently. learn to love that new person and embrace it. Don’t allow yourselves to become a victim!

This posts is about learning to take charge of our sense of self and embracing the changes. However, media does play a part on the way women perceive themselves, specially when they’re young and impressionable.
Been insecure and self-conscious is not something that any mom would choose to be, but is not that easy to accept ourselves after becoming a different person. Saying so does not mean been a victim, but having the strength to acknowledge we are imperfect, and have inner challenges to overcome.
Any woman, regardless of their body type, will tell you they had to struggle with going from been a woman to becoming a mom. Whoever says otherwise, is lying.

Don’t worry and hang in there! I literally gained 40 pounds with my 2nd one, and only 20 with my 1st. I was in bed rest for about 4 months so I know it can be hard, but you know is all worth it!

Oh I love that outfit and the hat goes with it very well. I too have seen that change in the mirror after having two kids. I don’t like it but finally broke down and got a gym membership and I start monday. I too think the media puts too much on image and not enough on who people are, on the inside.
