Hi. I just wanted to say that it is good sometimes to realize that this is in our mind. From your last post, I know that your husband still finds you attractive (as in he is chasing you around the bedroom!). So this is how you see yourself vs. how he sees you or the world sees you. Do the above things but I have found that doing things from the inside out works even better. That means if there is something that makes you feel really good about yourself, do it. I like to cook and think of myself as a good cook. So making dinner for my husband actually makes me feel good. Now that is just my example and I know not everyone likes to cook and doesn't look at it as a labor of love like I do. But whatever you like to do, try to pursue it. If it is doing nice things for others or volunteering, do it If it is learning something new every day on the internet, do it. If it is doing an exercise tape at home, do it.
Do you think that you might have a little post pardom depression? Your ob gyn when you go back to your next visit will ask you about things trying to figure this out as many women do after having a baby. Maybe you do and it is clouding things like how you see yourself.
Now, I had two kids and they are now 5 and 6 and I was an OLD mom. I know my body has changed. But . . . I realize that this is part of life. You are young and will bounce back (excercising shouldn't be too strenous now anyway)---------- it took me a while. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are beautiful as you are and any changes to your body came about because you've just given birth to your wonderful daughter.
Okay, be happy with who you are and kind to yourself. good luck

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3,4
