Before i had my child i was a size 8/10, i had skinny arms and a more or less flat tummy but I’ve always had a bigger bottom half and ‘thunder thighs’ (which never bothered me). During the pregnancy i put on a lot of weight after breaking my leg, this meant after i had my daughter it was harder to loose the weight.
It’s been two years that I’ve been depressed about my weight, it doesn’t help that i’m still in college with girls a lot smaller/younger and thinner than myself - sorta makes you feel worse.
I used to go to college and work every day with a corset on or those ‘suck in pants’ just to make my tummy appear smaller, do you know how uncomfortable that must of been? I also taken almost every diet pill out there, and had some adverse side effects and i just couldn’t risk it anymore.
I went to Transform, i cosmetic surgery company in the UK to ask for an Abdominoplasty. Without even looking under my clothes they quoted me £7000 straight away. After long thought at home i realised how much that money can impact on me and my family.
Instead of trying to go the easy way out, i’ll stick with diet and exercise like i have the last two years. I’ve already lost some weight since pregnancy but it’s took two years to come to terms with the fact that my body will never be the same and to embrace my curves.
I’ve always looked at skinny girls as inspiration but just being here makes me realise i have all the inpiration i need here!
