Hello from the UK everyone, I'll keep my introduction short... So 30yo, mum to a gorgeous 16 month-old little guy, I put on a massive 77lbs during my pregnancy (even writing it feels unreal) and nearly 2 years down the line, I still a dress size too big. I have always been curvy to say the least, but I had managed to settle at an acceptable size 10 (US size 8) before my son came along, and I just HATE the way I look now. By the way I'm 5'3 so pretty short, any excess weight and I look like a reject from the Hobbit movie.
My tummy is the worst, it is still so out of shape, anything I wear magically transforms into a sack of potatoes; wait, actually, my thighs are the worst... no, my arms...my waist... only my big boobs look sexy lol, but then again wearing a nice top with a little cleavage is hopeless because of all that tummy fat underneath them...
My problem is, I cannot control the way I eat. I'm very much an all or nothing sort of person so it's either I binge eat, either I watch my food intake super carefully. I am tired of my bad habits, I want to find the right balance.
Voilà, that's me for now. I might not be able to check this thread again soon but I definitely will so feel free to stop by to say hello!
