Hello,
My name is Lina and i am 31 years old. Before i got pregnant two years years ago, i used to be a good dancer (traditional Palestinian and contemporary) and part of a group. I alsotaught children and was co-trainer and co-choreographer in a dance group. this doesn't food on the table here, so i also have a desk job and a lot of computer. I had a hard pregnancy, and as a result my body does not respond like i want it to. i also put on some weight which makes it a bit hard for me to get back to dance (my passion).
I guess what i am trying to say is that i really need help to get back into shape, because i am going through a depression. My motivation is not that great but i keep fighting the urge to just not do anything about it!!! everytime i look in the mirror (or can't fit nicely in my clothes) and see the stretch marks and jelly like second and third layer around my waist and abs i just get filled with self hate.
I love my daughter, but i can' help but think that if i didn't get pregnant i would be ok, but that makes me feel guilty as she is the joy and pride (so you see how conflicted i am).
I don't want to bother you with my problem, but i am truly seeking help as i am don't want to give up hope on my body!!!
ANY THOUGHTS?????
confused and desperate lina
