Tummy Lady

I was at postnatal yoga today when a woman walked in wearing low rise pants and a t-shirt that stopped just above her naval. Her baby was six weeks old! I was on the verge of being consumed by envy when I realized her belly wasn't any more toned that the rest of us. My jealously was quickly replaced by admiration. To have the courage to show off her belly so soon after childbirth is amazing. I'm still wearing maternity tops just so no one will ever catch a glimpse of my postpartum tummy. Of course, there is no way that the hosts of the style intervention shows that I compulsively watch would ever approve of her outfit, but I think I'd rather feel that good about my body than get their nod of approval at this particular moment.
