This is an original post written by Bobbie. Thank you for listening to her story.
I have a 3 year old daughter and a soon-to-be 7 month old son and only birthed large babies (my first was 9 pounds, and my second was 10 pound – both born via c-section).
- Every day I try on a needless five outfits…and I end up not caring in the long run.
- I’m constantly asked “What are you having?” and told “How exciting you’re expecting again!”
- The only response I can provide is “No, I’m not pregnant… just fat.” What else is there to say?
- Honestly I have not started to diet. I know, shameful.
- And I do not exercise.
It took me 2 years after having my first child to become comfortable with my body again. I remind myself of this every day. In time my body will go back to its old self (aside from mass amounts of stretch marks).
I think I may need to start a separate tummy-tuck savings account.
Bobbie has a beautiful daughter and son and they are living proof that dreams come true.
