Idk if im alone in this or not...but when I got preg with my son I got SUPER big super fast! until my pregnancy I was small, and so getting so big with him really screwed up my stomach....stretch marks and all. and then after I had him I kept packing on the pounds. I kept eating like I was eating for two. (and three and four...ugh) my love for food spiraled out of control. then came baby number 2! and I was already bigger so atleast I had that...but again she stretched me to all ends of the earth...and MORE stretch marks...ugh!
Then to top it off I had both c section so now I get to have the scar from that...and of course couldn't cut me the same place twice -_-
in all honesty those never bothered me as much as the "belly pouch" anyone moms out there understand what im talking about if not...pics are coming lol. It was awful...and when I started to loose weight I realized just how bad my stomach was...and was at a loss...I actually had been planning to discuss surgery with my husband.
But I tried one last thing..i started lifting weights...and alas my stomach is getting better...its NEVER going to look like it did when I was 17..but lets face it...im not 17 anymore! and I am feeling much more confident and do not feel like I need surgery anymore. I have faith that with hard work I will eventually be 100% happy with my body. I still have my doubts and even bought a cover for the bathing suit...but excited to say that it getting better.
hopefully, helps people have some hope.

Thank you
I have a long way to go...but I know when I first started I saw all these progress pics and their tummies were always so pretty and perfect and I was like well damn mine doesn't look like that at all...so hoping maybe this will reach someone and give them hope.
