This is a news bulletin for all you preggos out there. I have found the cure for Bad Body Image. First, you should kick yourself, as I am, for getting pregnant at a point which puts you at your fattest during the sunniest months of the year. I will be HUGE in September while my fit friends will be running around in cute sundresses and bikinis. I knew God would avenge me at some point for running at the mouth for the last 36 years. But my Bad Body Image woes are behind me...
Suffer no more at the hands of your broken self image! You can revel in knowing you look A LOT better than the Mother Earth enthusiasts who got so high on baby bliss they decided to post their pregnancy photo on http://maternitygallery.com/. You can thumb through photo galleries by trimester and feel really good about yourself. Either these crazies believe that makeup and hair products will be absorbed through their skin and poison their baby, or these are the gals who recently escaped that Polygamist camp in Texas. Or maybe maternitygallery.com hosted a free photo shoot at a class reunion for an all girls Liberal Arts college in one of the Dakotas. ***Warning, there are a few cute gals in the photo galleries, but have no fear, another ugler is only one click forward.
I can't wait to show my husband! This is good timing, because I have been hiding the packages I got from the Nordstrom sale (Nordstrom sells its maternity clothes online) in the back of my car. I think he'll take a quick browse at the Liberal Arts graduates/LDS escapees and be thankful he married a snob with a shopping habit.
