I had my daughter 2 1/2 years ago via C-section, she weighed a whooping 10lb 7oz. As you can imagine I had ALOT of excess skin and that dreaded 'c section sag' I was a healthy 10 stone before falling pregnant then while pregnant I was growing and growing I found myself eating all the things I deprived myself of with the excuse of - ohh well if im gonna get fat I may aswell enjoy it. Low and behold after having my daughter I weighed myself and was horrified .... 16 STONE!! I couldn't believe it. The next day the healthy eating commenced.

2 1/2 years on and im happy to say im down to 11stone. I did get down to 10 but have put a stone back on.

I still dread going abroad on holidays, going swimming in a busy place, tops that look abit short, tops that are thin material, dresses that fit tight, going for fake tans.

Theres one thing that makes me get through and accept it all, MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER.

So no maybe our stomach's wont be the same, and maybe we wont be running around in Miami on the beach in a nearly nothing bikini BUT we will be making precious memories with our children and I for one would not change a thing.

Sorry im rambling on but I know how it feel's... it's took me a long time to accept that I wont have a six pack but the likely hood is even if a didn't have a child I would still never get a six pack!!!

I still have my flap, 2.5 years later. I don't mind having my pancake flap - I adore my daughter. But definitely want to tone down a lot!
