re: Why I'm proud: My post partum body story and pics (long)

I hate you..look so good! I still have a fat face and fat body 18 months pp. I am being punished for something =[

Congrats mama! You look great! Very inspiring story  

Quoting that one girl:“ she doesn't look too skinny. no bones or anything...she looks like she is in great shape!”

  

WTF? That's rude. She looks healthy. her bones aren't sticking out anywhere, and she did it the RIGHT way. Eating healthy and exercising.

Quoting ~*Pregalicious mommy*~:“ oh my goodness you got too skinny you looked beautiful in the top pics you look too thin now. I think ... [snip!] ... no matter. Being skinny isnt everything, its nice to be thin, but dont over do it eat what you want just in moderation..”

It has always been 100% about getting my confidence back, and let's face it, I was most confident when I was thin. I don't care how others view me, had I liked the way I looked when I was 134 pounds (after I had my daughter) I'd have stayed that way, but I didn't like it, and I did something about it.

More of, I have a small frame, it was literally difficult for me to be that weight and it felt as well as looked wrong.

Quoting Ryan & Casey's mommy!!!:“ You look great! how do you get rid of the love handles??”

Dancing. Seriously it may sound silly but it works. Doing the dishes and dancing or cleaning up and dancing.

That and carrying my daughter around in a sling helped a lot! The pressure of the weight went right to my lower back.

She does not look too skinny. she looks healthy. not one of her bones are sticking out... she looks amazing.

Quoting Mama 2 A Prince:“ You look great..I'm so jealous..and NO STRETCHMARKS! ”

I do have some on my butt   lol but I'll spare the photos. I hope I can 'tan' them out!


The upsetting part, I didn't have stretchmarks when pregnant, however, when I gained the weight after I had my baby, that's when I got them!

It is possible to get your metabolism into shape as well, 2 proper meals, which are basically a good breakfast and filling dinner, and 4 more, tiny, healthy snacks throughout the day, that's the way I did it.

The trick is to try and burn off that dinner 2 hours after you've had it, I used to do it by dancing with my daughter or doing crunches with her sitting on me - she loved it! That and the breakfast I'd burn off by putting her in the carrier and heading off for an hour walk or even just to the shop.

I don't drive, so I had an extra excuse to walk.

Doesn't it just feel as if you're coated with a few extra 'layers'? That's exactly what I couldn't take!

Yeah it does. I feel huge even if people say no..you aren't. I think I should know myself better. I am working out again though - I think I will do 2hrs a night as well. My goal is between 100-115.

you look awesome!! and im so freakin proud of you for doing it the right way (exercising and eating right). SOOOO many people on here are taking diet pills and starving themselves... so it makes me so happy to see someone do it with sheer willpower and determination. good job!

Quoting Momiji:“ Like minds, Chels. Like minds.”

lol. I think that was rude. this is too skinny
