I am 26, going on 27 in October, 5'9 and 145 pounds. I have had 4 kids (twins and 2 individual). With my twins, I gained about 30 pounds, shooting me up to 171 pounds. Then I lost that. But with my last two pregnancies, I gained only 15 pounds, and soon after each, I lost that. I am told I am just fine in my shape, but I still don't feel as thin as I was before my kids, which around 120. Am I looking at this the wrong way or am I really as heavy as I feel?
My husband also says I am perfect and such, but when we "uh-uh", I feel as if I'm literally squishing him, lol. He's says otherwise, but I want to feel like I did, before I had my wonderful children.

Ok, for the dumb ***** who said I have selfish energy, I do not! My kids are perfectly happy, and I am an educated Neurosurgeon, so do not call me selfish, wehn I would give anything for anyone. FYI too, I am quite proud of my status as a mother and wife, so look at your own parenting and marital status before you judge me off of a question I had that did not even reflect my parenting, or marital skills!

I'm 5'8 and I wish I weighed 145....lol....you are fine....after you have kids, its normal to be a little heavier than you were before you had kids.....plus girls look better with a little meat on their bones (and it doesn't sound like you have much at 145)....relax!

Hi, Let me tell u something that humans are such thankless creatures that they hardly ever feel happy about themselves. Even the Miss World/Miss Universe when asked they said they were not happy regarding certain things therefore u just listen to what your husband is saying and i'm sure he is the most important and your well wisher as compare to any1 else in the whole world. Just Chill!

If your husband says you're perfect, boy! that should be the best compliment ever.
The past is the past, you don't want to go back there, so live for the spirit of the moment. Now. Love your husband, love your children, love your life and love yourself.

if you use all of that selfish energy to take care of your kids you wil lose a few pounds. stop being so into your looks you do have kids who need a mom who isn't depressed over something so mundane. when you start worrying more about them and your husband you will feel beter and lose lots of pounds.
