Play me the world's smallest violin

Vent

I'm having a lot of trouble closing my sizable gap after my second baby. Baby is 8 months old and the gap is primarily above my belly button, which makes for a really weird looking tummy imo.

​

I've been in PT for months, and have managed to close it somewhat, but have definitely stalled out. I haven't been keeping up with my exercises because I barely have any time to myself, so I feel guilty, like it's my fault I still look this way.

​

On top of it all, I've lost a lot of weight from breast feeding and none of my clothes (from prepregnancy) fit me anymore. So basically I'm too skinny for my old clothes, but still look pregnant. Overall feeling really defeated and schlubby looking and like having myself a little pity party.
