haha yeah i wish i could cookiemonster!
but on a serious note, if i ever did move down to victoria it would be to bendigo...
loose ends need to be tied in that town! a 'what if' story...
i need to find some saggy friends up here i think!
or maybe i could just get off my fat a$$ and exercise so i'm not fat, and get a boob lift for the sagginess... *sigh* it all sounds too hard!
The boobs do adjust! Give it 12 months after you stop BFing. I was having flip-outs about mine but my mum said it improves a helluvalot after a year. I was an E before preg, went up to a G while preg, then my H cups were too tight at the beginning of BFing and now I'm an FF. Very traumatic on the girls! And HA! You think you've got stretch marks? You aint seen nothin' honey! I have stretch marks eeeverywhere, I have stretch mark *on my calves and upper arms* grrr. I don't know how much I weighed when I fell preg but I imagine I gained about 17kgs >.< I've lost almost all of it now, so you can imagine what a delicious jellybelly I have from all the left-over skin. BUT that gets better as well I'm told. Our bodies have done amazing things, ladies! We should be proud of them!
If it weren't for contraception no-one would EVER have perky boobs - the minute you got into puberty and started DingTD you'd be up the duff - BAM! You'd have mother's breasts when you had your first bubs at 15 or 16 and never even consider that they should be perky. In a way it's pretty unnatural really, if you think of it like that.
I find exercise makes a massive difference to me. I have a DP (he doesn't live with me, so i'm semi-single - a single parent, but not single, if that makes sense) and am thinner than i've been since the age of 17 and certainly fitter than i've ever been, but i still have extra belly skin, wobbly love handles, big thighs, saggy (and HOW!) boobies. Yesterday i got up at 8am (DD was at her daddy's house), went for a 7.5k run, then went and swam 0.5k using only my arms, then walked 6k all over the city doing various errands. Sure it's not how it was when i was 15, but i'm not sure how much more i could reasonably expect of my body, you know?
Even if i'm having a fat day i feel way better after exercise. Running made a difference to me, but i took up bodypump and wow, even though i only do it once a week i sure did begin to get visible results after a few months! Before i exercised regularly it seemed like too much hassle but now you could NEVER NEVER NEVER get me to give it up!
I felt the same way. That no one would want me now my body had changed so much. I am a 18G in my bra's and when i start breast feeding again i'm sure i'll need the F cup size. Whilst Preg the first time i gained 22kg and have never been able to shed to much of that. Stretch marks gailor on my stomach thighs and upper arms. It was like i longed for male company even though they had hrt me so much in the past. So when i did meet this guy i fell for him right away. Fell pregnant 3 months later then he left me. I knew my life was to good to be true. So my warning would be make sure it's love not lust and that the man feels the same way. Although it feels great to be wanted i made the mistake of not reading between the lines. He didn't want me just the family i could give him so now starts the custody battle . PS my boob's look great in a bra but very disappointed in what they look like when i take it off .
miranda,
definately a valid point there, thats why i'll be investing in lots and lots of contraception when i eventually get back into the dating scene...
how old is your second? if you're still breastfeeding then you've got some leverage on him, no judge will take away a breastfeeding baby from its mother... and even if you're not, how will they ever know??
yeah i look pretty good in a bra too! until i take it off then it's flabby abby i tells ya!
to be honest, i wont be trusting men for a very long time i think... it was hard enough for me to trust a man before i had bubs, and now that i'm a mother theres NO WAY IN HELL any man is going near him or me for that matter, until i can see he's genuine...
us women gotta protect ourselves!
