How do I?........................?
I have always been tall and thin my whole life. When I was younger it was to the point of being so skinny that I would try to eat more just to gain.
Now that I am older and have had three boys in 5yrs (all C-sections) I have gained about 40-50lbs total (I am 6'2" so it doesn't show as much). I now find it hard to look at myself the same or find myself attractive. I know I have a pretty face but I don't feel sexy anymore. It is starting to affect my self-esteem and my sex life (with my husband). He is wonderful and says he will always love me no matter my size and still thinks I am beautiful, but this is not the body he signed up for. Just for those of you who may want to tell me how to lose it - I am on an action plan right now!
My question is :
How do I learn to FEEL sexy in this body?

Really, you just have to come to terms with how you look now. Everyone has their own ways of doing that. But some things to keep in mind that may help:
1. The average woman is 5' 4" and 140 pounds.
2. Most men actually tend to like their women less skinny then the women think the men do. (This has been revealed in many psych studies - questionaires and such.)
3. Wear clothes that flatter your figure.
4. Don't depress yourself by finding that you can't fit into your old clothes any more. Instead, go to the mall and buy some new clothes. New clothes always get a girl excited.
5. Your body is now that of a mother. Know that and take pride in that. Look at your children and think, "Yes, I made that. I did that. My body is living proof that I did that."

I know this is bad but compare yourself to people a lot bigger than you are to make yourself feel better. The weight you gained is normal and you can always get your body back. Running is the best way to lose weight. Eat right and run.
