"PinterestFacebookPHOTO: Marilyn NievesMy poor stomach. It&amp;#39;s taken a beating since having two babies, and then there was the recent ab injury (which still haunts me). Even though it&amp;#39;s finally slimming down, I&amp;#39;m self conscious about my tummy, and sometimes I feel like people are staring at it! Do you feel the same about a certain body part, whether it&amp;#39;s your nose, your butt or something else?\n****A few weeks ago, I walked downstairs and I watched my husband&amp;#39;s eyes move from my face to my belly region. &amp;quot;What?!&amp;quot; I said. &amp;quot;Why are you staring at my stomach?&amp;quot; Of course, I had to ask the obligatory question, &amp;quot;do I look fat?&amp;quot;\nAfter I said it, I wanted to take it back. I knew that I don&amp;#39;t &amp;quot;look fat&amp;quot;--by the world&amp;#39;s standards, or my own. But when I thought he was eying my belly (turns out, he wasn&amp;#39;t), I suddenly felt self conscious/worried/unsure of myself.\nI felt the same way when, on a walk around my neighborhood shortly after the birth of my second baby, one of my neighbors (a man) stopped to ask me how I was feeling, and he kept staring at my belly! It had only been days since I&amp;#39;d given birth, so I still looked a little pregs, but still--how rude! I was really irritated, and embarrassed. I started to worry: Is this all people see when they look at me? A woman with a flabby belly?\nDo you ever feel that people are staring at the body part you are least confident about?
