So, I decided since the boy is now a year old, I need to take back my body.
I started a few weeks back, running and walking around the HS track in my hood and I managed to drop a few pounds.
However, I wonder, how will I ever get rid of this excess skin? My muscles are under there, and I can feel them, but the skin is just droopy. I started looking at other "mommy tummies" and without fail, if a woman has has at least two kids, she can get all the skinny she wants but the belly ain't going away.
Has anyone seen this new show about a woman who had twins and then septuplets??? Yes, you read that right. She showed us her tummy and it looked like the face of my brother in law's bulldog.
I kid you not.
She got that belly all nipped and tucked for free, on account that a plastic surgeon felt bad for her. Do you think I can get one to feel bad for me? I mean, my "belly button" now needs to be cleaned out weekly and once I found one of Jake's missing socks in there!
So, anyway, also besides the running I am cutting out sugar and trying to eat healthy, only today I am not
feeling well so lucky charms for breakfast, OJ all day long and a big heaping bowl of pasta are not helping me, but after today I am going to post about my "mom challenge" and let you know how I am doing. I may even post pix of my belly so you can see that it indeed never goes down.
Wish me luck!
Jen-you should do before and after pics. I'd do it with you!! I agree, the post-baby tummy sagging is hard to get rid of. I wonder if there's a statute of limitations for how long we can claim "baby weight".

Ok, so I can't even spell my own name!
