I walked by a full length mirror in a resteraunt bathroom and i really was shocked at how large my belly is. It really sticks out. And what is even MORE appalling is that people have told me that i dont even look pregnant. OMG what am i doing then hidding a little person in my shirt?? Has this happened to you?
lol dont mind my jammies in the picture below ;)

Well in recent months my belly has shrunk. It's amazing what losing 10 to 15 pounds can do. I have had those scary mirror moments, though.

i walk by full length mirrors all the time as my invisable friends become visable when seen through the looking glass.
some of my friends are bizarre! i have a giant squirrel that throws nuts at cars.
i am as mad as a bag of scorpians.

No, Excess fat is harmfull to our heart as well as body.
I usually watch my character on mirrior and rectify accordingly.

I am often horrified at how I look! I do my best to avoid mirrors that show too much of my body. I don't want to look in a full-length mirror until I lose 10 pounds. I have promised myself that I will start to exercise and eat better. It is very hard to do with so much junk food around me. My friends and family buy me "treats" which I just can't resist.

mmm treats! i love treats, i am fairly lucky to have a good metabolisim, i can eat relatively bad food and not gain too much, as long as i eat healthy food at least once a day i'm good right ? lol.
However, last time i was preggo, i over did it witht the KFC and i gained like 60lbs. OOG.

Hey congratulations, how far along are you?
As for walking past a full length mirror? Oh yeah, that is why I can't stand to go to this one area in the mall, the store front has mirrors, ceiling to floor and I just look away when we go past..lol
Anyways, you don't look bad at all and before you know it, you will be back in shape in no time as long as you are taking care of yourself..:)

Yes, even for us guys. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself. Then sometimes I think I look good, maybe I'm just used to being fat.

I don't know if anyone likes the way they look sure there are those that love themselves but, for the large majority we don't. It is accepting that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and beauty is not about what you look on the outside its how you look inside. As my husband gets older and balder by the day I still love him and find his beauty is deep inside. As for looking in the mirror I try not to do a lot of it because I am fat and I don't think I am attractive even though my husband says I am.

no that has never happen to me I guess that is because I wear extra large shirts that covers my belly

Not a full length.
Otherwise many times, but i tend to careless now. I don't grunge myself, otherwise I'd shock my feeling to the ground and I could do with it less from myself. especially since schools finished, nobody has anything to say. ~Joey

I was into my 4th or 5th month before people started commenting on me being pregnant when I was carrying my boys.
I think most people are afraid of asking "when are you due?", fearing that they would be wrong and the woman isn't pregnant after all. It would be awkward to both the person asking and the woman getting asked the question, if this was the case, don't you think? So instead they say nothing.
I do have a little extra baggage on me, though no one has ever asked me if I was pregnant because of it. I don't think I would take offense to it though, because I know I weigh more than I should.
