Here’s the thing. I’m not 100% unhappy with my whole mom
body, but I’m not exactly proud of it either. I’m sure that the daily glass(es)
of wine don’t help. Nor do the bi-monthly trips to Taco Bell for a Mexican pizza
(no tomato of course), bean and cheese burrito, and a hard shell taco. Or the
fact that we make cheese infused pasta on Sundays followed by Taco Tuesday
EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
Don't worry. This isn't a WOE IS ME post. I am grateful for what I have, blah blah blah.
Some days I wrestle with the whole body image thing. All
throughout high school I was the skinny chick with hip bones that could poke an
eye out. And hello clavicles. Those shits where sharper than my eyes watching the
shower scene in The Proposal. Tractor Beams.
College welcomed some added weight and boobs. Hello B cups.
Bow chicka wow wow! Then pregnancy brought on D’s. JC those were hot. I felt
like a porn star. And kinda loved it. Except for the whole painful, swollen,
and leaking situation.
After Smith, I dropped all the weight and then some without
really trying all that hard. G’on. You can kick me in the ear; it’s fine. I’d
do it too.
But
somehow my metabolism has gone on strike because at
(almost) 33, I am at my heaviest and it’s a hard pill to swallow. I’m
not fat.
I’m not skinny. I’m in between and depending on how nice the Juniors
Section is
at Target, I am a six 6 / 8. (maybe I should stop thinking I'm a Junior
in the first place and just stick to the Misses department). EFF. Old
Navy is way nicer in that capacity though, where I
can rock 4’s. But, I’d much prefer to shop at H&M where I can
wear a
29/30 and not really know what that means, so its good for my ego.

| taken this week. i kinda want to kiss this picture because it's actually good. |
As I got out of the shower this morning, I noticed some
jiggly spots ON MY BACK. Who has back fat? This girl apparently.
I’m torn. I mean, some days I am “Oh. my. god. BECKY. Look at
her butt. Its so BIG!” and want to find the closest gym and throw myself on a
treadmill until my sweat starts crying in agony. But other days, I’m like…
whatever. It is what it is. Husband loves me. If I have a little extra junk in
the trunk back, so be it.
I
imagine this will be a lifelong battle as I age. And I kinda want to
kick husband in the neck because he just gets better looking with age
while I'm fighting the inevitable fug.
I swear I’m
not old inside though. In fact, I’m pretty sure
I’m a 12 year old boy who got a hold of his dad’s Playboy and pees his pants when
someone says Uranus.

If you have back fat then harpoon me, because I'm clearly a narwhal. You look HOT lady.
Back bacon is inevitable after pregnany... and GD... Own those coral pants, lady!
You look gorgeous! Also, I think our bodies just have a different layout post baby. I way 20 lbs less than I did before I got preggo (after much hard work) but my body looks wayyyyyyy different. And not necessarily in a good way but in a..."softer" (aka squishier) kind of way. Such is mommyhood I suppose!
I'm the same way too, I go between caring and not really caring. Now I'm on a "need to tone up a bit" kick. We'll see how long that lasts.
In other news please teach me how to look that amazing in the colored skinnies. That is all.
I love that we were twinsies the other day.
I think having a kid definitely messes with your body and metabolism just as much if not more so than aging. I'm back to my pre-preg weight and clothes but I have this damn threemonthspregnantlooking pooch that for the life of me will not go away no matter how many damn crunches I do. But I guess Hunter is worth it. :)
That picture is gorgeous and girl you are totally rocking out the red skinny jeans! No you didn't just bust out Oh my God Becky Look at her butt, I mean it's just out their, it looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends lol (Kim Kardashian maybe) ha I wouldn't mind having her touchy at all! My BFF always thinks she has a big butt and she doesn't and she is skinny like you and we were at a friend's bday party and she got drunk and sang Karoke and she sang Little in the Middle but I've got a big butt bwahahahah then she seranaded her fiance with Leann Rhymes in which we all laughed so hard I think I pee'd a little and I only had a sip of a drink cause I can't drink on these meds! Oh and Uranus is the funniest thing ever that and the movie The Sitter I just watched last night which was so so so so funny! Love you Me
PS you don't have a big butt you look fantabulous lady cakes...
love you,
me
Girl!!! I SO wish that I could ALWAYS look in the mirror and love that person looking back at me. We are all our own worst critics. I know you didn't write this post in a "Woe is me" kind of way and this is something we all as women struggle with, and I know you don't need my validation, but you are gorgeous inside and out. Seriously!! :)
It is always so relieving to know that other women are going through the same thing! Thanks for giving this inevitably ridiculous situation a sense of humor. You are amazeballs.

Girl you look smokin! I totally relate to this tho. Im not unhappy with my body, but could it be better? Sure! But then also there is the whole having at toddler to look after and not having the same amount of time I used to have. My gym doesn't have childcare, so I have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to go before hubby goes to work. And back fat? LOL girl you are cracking me up, must have been the way you were standing, cause I so don't believe you!
Ok, gurl, you look like greatness. And more importantly, I've never had a kiddo and I've got the bacon back strips and now looking for bras that cover that shiz up.
But most importantly, you're hilar and I love this friggin blog, yo.
Keep your head up, keep us laughing and who gives about back fat until people stare at it on the beach and that's usually when a lady who stuffs herself into a b-suit should be better off wearing a tent. You my bloggy-blog friend, ain't got nothing to worry about.
LOL ... You are I are the exact same in the sense of your body descriptions LOL ... I am 3 months post pardum adn back into my old size but my body just isnt the same and hello E's - um not sure I am gonna want my old boobs back :) No regular size shirt is going to cover these things!
You look amazing! Dont look at the size look at your awesome reflection!
I wouldn't kick you out of bed ;) Your hot Momma, get used to it!
I love you and I have jiggly parts too. It could be worse and it can always be better. It's just about being comfortable in our own skin. The 30s are tough on the ole' bod.
Right now I'm struggling because I'm in the "is she getting fat or is she pregnant" stage and some days I just want to roll up in a ball in a corner and escape.
You look amazing and the last time I wore a six was junior high, so bite me :)
And now I want a Mexican pizza from TB.
A size 4-8 is skinny in my size 12 existence! The kardashians need a major clothing line and I need it ASAP. haha

You look amazing!
Aging is super awesome. My metabolism imagined I didn't need it any more as I recessed down the isle immediately after saying "I do". Nice wedding gift. Then, even at my skinniest I have always been busty. However, the DAY after I finished breast feeding my second son, those effers deflated like I was set to model for National Geographic. I mean, I have to BEND OVER and LIFT them into my bra in the morning. Can't wait until the chin whiskers start. Which will probably be tomorrow now that I even thought it. But, I'm also 33 and you look awesome!!
You look hot.
I am the same size & have the same back fat except I'm 29 & have had no babies.
I'm mostly enjoy the junk in my trunk, just not the jiggles.
You're a skinny bitch and you look amazing! But I get it. If you're not happy with the way you look it makes you feel gross.
i'm like twice your size...well, twice your pants size. not actually double your weight..cuz that would be crazycakes...and i'm TOTALLY on the "it is what it is" train. all my clothes still fit. the scale stays the same. the husband is satisfied...sometimes, you just gotta embrace what you've got! which in your case, is super hottness.
I'm finally back to pre preg weight (note: ladies, lose the baby weight from first preg before getting preg again. trust me on that one.) but my boobs are still massive and the belly still a little sag city. With clothes on I fell smokin' but w/out--sweet Jesus. Tone that shiz up, Tiffany.
It's not you, it's your bra. Even at 8% body fat, any time to "clasp" yourself in, your skin will bulge above and below the band. I recommend you try something like the Unbelievabra by Shapeez. No bands, no closures, no bra lines, no back fat. NO KIDDING!!!
