Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women
Heather CreekmoreWhat I Thought Would Fix My Body Image: Motherhood, Day 7

Marriage didn't fix my body image issues. In some ways, it may have made them worse! But, there was still something I hadn't tried. I knew if I could just get pregnant, then, somehow, I'd feel better about my body. After all, in my mind, pregnant women didn't need to worry about how they looked. They had a baby growing in them! What an awesome job and responsibility. How could anyone nurturing a baby in their womb stress over calories or the shape of her bum?
Oh, but, this is the part of the series where you learn how dense I truly am. Haha. Can a pregnant woman worry about her body image? Uh, yes and double yes! Here's my story:
Question for ReflectionI have friends who swear that pregnancy fixed their body image struggles. Eating disorders were finally beat because pregnancy made them see their bodies in a new light. But, for me, it had relatively no positive impact.
If you've had a baby, did body image bother you while you were pregnant?
If not, are you guilty of imaging that pregnancy will "fix" your struggles?

A Prayer for Cultivating a Heart of Worship - Your Daily Prayer - September 22
When we receive God’s forgiveness through Jesus, receiving His free gift, we are receiving an unending source of forgiveness that springs forth from Him. When we tap into it, we surrender our claim to holding an unforgiving heart towards anyone else.
