NSV - huge for me

I was once so large I didn't know what size I was - somewhere between 2x and 3x. I wore long skirts that stretched with my huge pregnant body. I'd take my kids to the park, and people would ask me if they were my grandchildren. I got this constantly, and it made me sad and sometimes angry. I thought it was the clothes, but I changed my look and still got the grandma comments. I suppose I'm a little old to have such young kids - I'm in my 30's - some of our friends have teens - our oldest is 5, but still. This REALLY bothered me.

Lately men have been staring and making comments for a while now, so I knew I was looking better. But, a woman told me the other day - "Your daughter is gorgeous. She looks just like you." I'm so grateful to God for changing me for the better!

    That's a brilliant NSV - and you're defo not to old to have kids that age.

    And you changed yourself - no-one else, so make sure you take the credit. :happy:

    Fantastic!! I agree that you are not too old to have young kids. I'm in my early 30's with a 10 year old and a 22 month old. My oldest brother is and his wife are expecting their first in their late 30's!
