I feel like I only come here to complain. And so for my first status update, I will try to remain consistent and...complain! I almost busted out in tears this morning as I caught my reflection in a window walking to work. I hate my body. It is horrible. I don't know how to reconcile the new me, I knew that there would be loose skin, I knew seeing myself lighter after two kids was going to yield a different shape, but I guess you really don't know until you see it. I hate always complaining and not reveling in the good, but I feel so defeated. I am so sick of looking gross and unwomanly. Add to this that I am still on BP medication, and the Gerd is awful, this all feels like a big freaking mistake.

Take heart, you state that you do not feel 'womanly' - could this be that you are just used to associating the term womanly with large curves or prominent curves? Our eyes and minds deceive us all the time.
Have you shopped for some new/used clothes yet? I find shopping and getting some new makeup uplifting. I wear a spanx bra/cami all-in-one and find a little smoothing makes my silhouette look a lot better, and keeps the 'girls' in place better. The fat will shift around a lot during this process and you are younger and some of the skin will retract. I am an old broad, so I will resort to plastic surgery.
Get some therapy for awhile, it may help. And you are not done yet, give your mind some time to catch up to the improved you.
