Whilst I was being vain trying on stuff, my bf took a few sneaky pics so i thought Id throw them together as I cannot ‘pose‘ to make myself look ‘better‘ for pics. Some of them I am posing, but thats cus i wanted some pics taken :)
While changing outfits he snapped a few extras!

This is a monokini I bought ages ago, I tried it on just to see the comparison of how I used to look compared to now. It sorta fits, but I wouldn’t wear it out. Some of the pics are fowl

This is my old, size 10 bikini, again just tried it on. It is still tight of course, considering i am a size 14!

These show my belly as it is right now, stretch marks and all! Im happy with it for now, but still a bit to go yet!

These show my markings clearly! Its just nice to have pics to refer to and look back on in the future

The belly button scar is from a piercing that sunk into my skin!


Would you share yours???

    I won't... but is your tattoo on pinterest somehow? I LOVE it and I think I might have pinned it at some point!

    I can't at the moment because I don't have any way of transfering pics from my phone to the web while I'm at work. However, I did the same thing 2 days ago - taking some honest and unflattering pics of myself to give me a baseline to compare against for the changes I'm hoping to make. I'll try to remember to post them when I get home. I figure if you've got the courage to post them, I can muster the courage as well. :)

    Fantastic!! It is really encouraging, you're right. Every angle explored, and there is no denying that it is how you look :)

    I am within 7-8 lbs of my pre-kids weight, but my tummy looks just like both of yours. It is encouraging to see that many (most!) women, have non-perfect tummies. I also have tons of stretch marks. The funny thing for me is that from the front my waist is getting smaller, but from the side, it pooches way out. I guess that is just bc my abs were destroyed during pg?

    Anyway, thanks for the pics! I too love seeing honest pics. Another site to check out, if anyone else reading is thread is dealing with post baby body stuff like i am, is theshapeofamother.com. I found it helpful in being more accepting of my body.

    The funny thing for me is that from the front my waist is getting smaller, but from the side, it pooches way out.

    I'm having the same prob. From the front, it looks like my belly area is shrinking but from the side it still sticks out. I really hate that. I hope it goes away eventually.
