He Said, She Said

I was looking through my pictures on my phone today and came across this text I saved from my hubby.

Sometimes when you feel fat or just unattractive, it helps to have that special someone who is determined to make you feel beautiful. I'm very fortunate to have a wonderful husband who assures me that I'm beautiful every day - even if I don't believe him at times.

This text was after he sent me a picture of myself when I was about 3 1/2 months pregnant. I couldn't get over how tiny I was! And as he brought out, I felt huge! It was all I could think about and even cry about at times.

This reminds me to try to find the good in myself through every stage of this pregnancy and beyond. I think this goes for most women/girls, that the person they see looking back at them in the mirror is not always what's truly there. So my hopes for all of you this weekend is that you focus on the good in yourself and just know that you are beautiful. Even if you can't see it, just know, someone else does.

Happy Friday.
