I would say I was about 6 months when I finally started to accept that the changes in my body were beautiful and not fat. It was hard to get over! Good for you for telling yourself that!
I remember complaining I was fat for the first 4 months because at my 12 wk appt., the baby was behind my pelvis...so I just associated my growing belly with fat. Finally at 16 weeks the doppler showed that the baby was above my pelvis and I was like, okay, that IS the baby. Once I stopped getting sick every day, around 20 weeks, I started tracking my food intake because I didn't want to gain too much weight. At my 24 week appt, I had gained the exact same as I did the previous one so I said the hell with it and just enjoyed the rest of my pregnancy.

It's really hard, you know? I am definitely having a holy crap I look fat day...somehow between Saturday and today I just look bigger....everywhere. So I keep repeating to myself..I am pregnant, not fat... hopefully it will work!!! It's taking some getting used to.
I've not gained myself for 2 weeks; I had put on 3 lbs since my last appt (1 week before that) by then...so I am assuming I've put on another 2-7 lbs since then (I see it, it has to be there..)...I also am tracking MOST food I eat- but I forgot to track 2 brownies I had last night for a midnight snack. Sigh....Wasn't even hungry...
I look at pictures from my baby shower and want to cry because I feel like a looked huge (even after everyone kept telling me how great I looked). I had a really hard time dealing with putting on weight, especially since I gained about 10lbs right before getting pregnant because of work stress.
I'm happy to say only 2 weeks after delivering, I'm already down about 20lbs. I still want to lose about another 20 (I gained about 30lbs total).
I will say that I have found it is easier to lose weight after pregnancy simply because you are so busy with a newborn and I have no time to snack. I stocked my house with all fruits and veggies and no junk food and every time I've found myself hungry I've just grabbed a piece of fruit. I'm hoping this keeps up.
