Comments on: Moms, do you ever get jealous when you see people from high school? http://www.casarussia.com/2010/04/moms-do-you-ever-get-jealous-when-you-see-people-from-high-school/ Wed, 01 Jan 2014 06:44:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gabriel's Mama ? http://www.casarussia.com/2010/04/moms-do-you-ever-get-jealous-when-you-see-people-from-high-school/comment-page-1/#comment-554 Gabriel's Mama ?

I couldn't help but feel envious of her tiny frame, no bloating (she was 115 at 8 months pregnant!!), and how her labor was easy and put no stress on her. I was the total opposite - gained tons of weight, bloated, had a difficult labor. On her facebook page, she had a status that said, "How can a woman at 9 months pregnant still fit into size 3 jeans? It's a miracle." That one made me cry about myself for days. The worst part about her weight gain (which was barely anything), was that her baby weighed more than mine! She only had her baby 6 weeks after I had mine, so I compared...which is natural. Her baby (a girl) isn't nearly as cute as mine, though, naturally. =P I'm glad you are getting back to your prepregnancy weight! I'm happy for you! It's great to have a good attitude about things, and I'm changing my mind about my body, too. Yay! We are beautiful new mothers with lots to look forward to.

I dropped every lick of weight in the unpleasant areas, and kept the full breast. I was literally glowing. I think that had to do with the fact that I was so happy I was not pregnant anymore, and could get right back into a decent mobile routine. My clothes fit back again, and I slipped right back into my heels..... But you know what? I may have looked like a million bucks, but I was just as tired and cranky as every other sweatpant wearing no shower having mother!!! It may look all pretty on the outside, but we are all tired, a little worn out, and wish we could be gorging and napping, even us 'glam moms' BELIEVE IT! lol Honestly no, because I am that uber-annoying mom who really did look amazing after my son was born.

I bet her life is not as great as her blog says it is. There is no proof that the pic she has up showing how cute she is is from after she had the baby. I bet she has a mommy pooch on her belly and has dark circles under her eyes.. Babies always draw attention in public, even the rare ugly baby, so it might not be because her baby is so cute...maybe people are wondering how such a cute baby came from a couple of trolls :) I am bummed too. I am trying to plan an informal HS class reunion this summer and I am 80 pounds heavier than when I graduated. I gained all of them after having kids. I never got the last 10 pounds off after my 3 year old was born, and I was 40 pounds overweight then...then I had some depression issues and gained another 35 pounds. I am hoping to drop at least a few before my reunion at the end of June... Of course the popular girls have lost the tiny bit of baby pudge they had in HS and have only gotten prettier...I am just glad I am not the only one who has gained :) for every person who lost weight, I have found at least one who has gained or stayed the same...

A guy friend from HS and his wife were at WalMart with their 7 week old twins. They also had 2 older daughters. His wife looked GREAT! You'd never even know she had a baby let alone 2. She looked happy and glowing. I wish I'd been that glowing when my twins were that age. :-p I was jealous of how great she looked and all that but she wasn't boasting. She got a little embarrassed when I complimented her on how fantastic she looks. Maybe a little, although I didn’t know her.

Not really. I do think "wow, she looks great for just having a baby" I certainly don't care about it at the end of the day. Everyone thinks their baby is the most beautiful (yeah, so do I), but, there will always be someone prettier. Its a fact of life. Screw how other people look-every body is different, every body after pregnancy is different. And how do you know everything she posted is true?? Myspace is full of people who lie. There is no way to prove if the pictures are for real, photoshopped, or prebaby pics. Who cares-just enjoy your baby and your own life and forget about the braggers who put you down. Jealous?

Of course by nature you look at other women and say I would like to have her... but I am happy in the skin I am in and would never wish to be someone else because though there outsides may be preety you never know what is going on inside!
