I'm having bad body self-image lately. A lot. While I didn't have a rockin' bod before I got pregnant, in fact I put on weight which I didn't really need to, now that my gut is just bigger, looks like all the belly fat that I did have is now just bigger all the way around. Lumpy and rolls and yuck.

So I realized I'm vain! OH no! I liked how my clothes fit before, esp pants. And I used to feel pretty good about that. OH no, pride - eek - how many more can I list in one post?

I'm just gettin' big but I don't really look pregnant. Just fatter. I don't fit into any of my bottoms, nor my tops, and am having a hard time finding something to wear. I'll get out my summer stuff soon and hope that I find something in there. I'm more concerned about my work outfits. Luckily, a friend of my sister's offered to lend me a large collection of tops! They are really cute but I really don't fit into them at all yet. I've found some cheap XL size tops that are ok but now what about the bottoms? I  really don't want to put much $ into more clothes!!!

I've heard about a thing called a belly band there's a couple different types of bands. Anyone know where to get a belly band in SE Denver? and not order online?I've also seen an expander thing that has a piece of elastic between a new button and some sort of fastener on the other end, and a flap of fabric below to leave your pants or skirt unzipped and you tuck the flap in and fasten the button where the regular button would go. Looks cheesy to me but a good cheap idea. But I don't think that's for me. I like the idea of a belly band better.
