Ever since I had my daughter, I've been working on my self confidence. I spent most of my pregnancy talking about losing weight and getting skinny after I had Rylee and becoming a "MILF". After some self discovery, I realized that being a MILF is all about confidence. It would be more beneficial to my physical health as well as my mental health if I worked on eating healthy and being healthy rather than on losing weight. I also realized that I needed to work on my self love rather than give into the hatred I've felt about my body for years. Part of me learning to love myself is teaching other women to do so as well. Thats why I decided to start my "Self Love Saturdays". Each week I will have 3-5 women (usually mothers) guest write about what makes them confident, or what makes them feel like a MILF. My goal is that by reading this, other women will be inspired to make the change into self love as well. Enjoy!
Sarah @Simply__SarahJI think I am a MILF because I have confidence in myself. Being a MILF is all about how you view yourself and how you carry yourself. I may not be a size two or have the greatest clothes but I am beautiful in my own way. I have a attitude of positivity and don't let what other people think of me or say to me bring me down. What matters is that I know I am the best me I can be. I am in control of my body and mind and although there are things I want to change about myself I refuse to hate myself and get brought down by negative thoughts. That is what makes me a MILF.

When I hear the term milf, I don't take it literally! In my eyes a milf is a strong, confident, mother who holds herself with pride. It makes me feel good to know that even after all the changes my body has gone through, people still find me pretty. Confidence is key!

At 22 I found out I was pregnant. At that time I had just returned from a family vacation and I was really tan and naturally I am a skinny girl so I was feeling really good about my body, sexy almost. When I found out I was pregnant I just remembered that I am creating a human life and whatever happens to my body happens. Pre-pregnancy I was 120lbs, when I delivered at 38 weeks and 2 days I was 180lbs. I had moderate-severe preeclampsia and from week 36-38 I gained 20lbs, so I was induced. Before I even left the hospital I had dropped 30 lbs, and over the next couple weeks I lost another 10. I am now almost 5 months post-partum and am still at 140lbs. I have a great support system that always reminds me I am beautiful so sometimes I believe them. I was not and am still not the girl who could fit in her old size 2 jeans after delivering, so after a bout of crying on my first shopping trip I told myself that I don't need to fit in a size 2 to feel pretty. That day I walked out in a size 8 pair of jeans and I felt good. The main reason I feel good about myself is I have a beautiful little boy whom I brought into this world. And if he doesn't care that I'm a size 2, then I don't need to either. So now I am a size 8 with my happy baby on my hip with a lot of confidence in myself as a whole, not just my body.I was going to do mine this week, however with it being so late and since I was so busy yesterday, I decided not to. I'm for sure going to do mine next week! Keep a lookout!
Awww this is so sweet. I hate that word fat. I remember when I was growing up I was told I was fat and I cried. My mom said "you're not fat, you're just pleasantly plump". I struggled to lose weight and even to this day I do as well. I've learned to accept myself the way I am and I'm happy for it. :)
