Unhappy pregnant women in magazines

you know now that models are getting told to fatten up a bit to look normal how about they actually show what REAL pregnant women look like?! the majority of us have stretch marks and are not still lean and toned as with pre baby bodies.

i have 100's of baby mags and every model is different and NONE of them have stretchmarks! to me its really depressing seeing that. its like being over your goal weight and seeing size 2 chiks advertising for frigin weight loss..how motivating!

maybe im just too negative but i think there should be women in these mags should represent the majority of us who have pernanant pregnancy reminders and not make it so depressing to look at. yeh i sound superficial and i should be happy with my body no matter what but how can i? i am 21 and went from being a promo girl to mama and i cant even wear a bikini now.

how are women supposed to feel comfortable with themselves if all we get told to try to be and all that we see and read is an unattainable perfection that has such a negative effect?

am i too over the top or this feeling warrented? i am so insecure now its not funny i used to be so fun and out there and didnt care now i feel like im just slipping further and further and im am never goin to be happy with how i look again... hmmmmmmm
i think i need a sleep
