dislike the way i look physically.

i dont understand my self. i used to love how my body looked and i would flaunt it as much as i could( lingerie, short shirts, short everythimng) now like a year ago i have been ashamed and embarassed of my body i try to hide my body as much as possible. its like i would try to keep on as much clothing as possible when i make love. especially now that im pregnant im trying not to wear anything thats form fitting cuz im embarassed as to how my belly looks. i dont look pregnant i just look like i am chubby. please help me figure out why i feel this way towards myself.

thanx a bunch

 

Maybe if you send me a pic, I can help you better.

 

ok give me a few minutes its an old pic but the most recent that i have

 

my weight has gone up and down.. you have to learn to love yourself for who you are..

 

FF...I peaked at your gallery pics...you have NOTHING to be ashamed of

 

Youre supposed to look a bit shapely when you get pregnant its natural, nothing to be ashamed of and you shouldnt feel you have to hide your beauty from the world, just let it out and if it bothers people, who really gives a damn, if they dont like it, thats their own problem, they have issues and need to go deal with them, theres nothing wrong with you. Just be yourself and dont worry about how ya look, im sure you look great.

 

If your pregnant the reason you feel this way could be due to hormones. My friend katie is pregnant and is acting exactally like you.

 

Cornball number one is right...

When my sis-in-law was pregnant she hated her body, even though she was as beautiful as ever and was glowing...
Know that you are beautiful...

 

hon, pregnancy is a time to show off your natural shape and beauty.

I remember when my cousin was pregnant with my god-daughter....She was maybe 100 pounds soaking wet and she almost doubled her weight, but she felt so good being pregnant that she was the most beautiful that I have ever seen her.

Be proud....

From what I see in the pic, you look good to me.

 

I think pregnant women are gorgeous!

They all seem to have a certain glow about them, that seems to come from the new life within them.

Glory in your body! It's a special time in your life!

As for how you feel, I think Cornball was right... Pregnancy plays lots of games with your emotions, and your reaction may be a natural part of this process. Birth may actually play more severe games.

 

thank you all for the encouraging thoughts. it has made me feel a bit better
