The Shape of a Mother
Jul. 21st, 2006 11:34 pmI'm grateful to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naomikritzer for pointing out this blog, The Shape of a Mother. The blog is subtitled: A mother's body is beautiful. Period." And below it reads: "Becoming a mother changes everything in your world - including your body. Here we share images of our bodies during and after pregnancy so we can see what real women look like." I appreciate Naomi's commentary here, too.
As I have been trying to rev up my motivation, to help me resume my exercise program, I have been eyeing with exasperation my belly, with its stubborn little mound of avoirdupois nestled around my navel. (I bought a stability ball today--can anyone suggest good intermediate exercise DVDs for the stability ball, by the way?) And so it was very comforting to look through the pictures on this blog and realize that yeah, my body, with its evidence of prior pregnancies, is totally normal.
Comparatively, it really looks pretty good.
