ok. so. im 27 5'3 and currently about 8st9. I have a 2.6 ds and an 11 week ds. I dont look my age (and yes i should be greatful i know) but im feeling down on how i look and not sure where to start.
pre pg i weighed 8 stone and was a size 8 which i really want to get back to. Before anybody starts saying they wish they were my size/weight i KNOW its better than alot of people but i have self consious issues that im trying to reduce esp as i have pnd for the 2nd time although dealing ALOT better with it this time. ds1 goes to preschool 2 afternoons a week. ds2 is very poorley ad the mo and has reflux and on meds and doesnt sleep for very long (about half hour each time) and currently seeing paed. DH works long hours and often works abroad so i dont get alot of time to mysel and life is quite a struggle. ds1 doesnt nap at all and very active. I currently dont do any excercise other than running round looking after ds's/trying keep house tidy
try my best to get out and about as much as poss but im not prepared to put ds2 in creche until his jabs are done (first 3 lots) and he is too poorley for me to leave at creche anyway plus they wont medicate children.
i generally wear jeans (quite flattering i think) and normally long sleeve tshirts and i wear a coat obviously but it is a 'bench' black jacket with a hood that i bought pre kids and feel this doesnt help with looking slovernly/younger. are there any coats out there suitable for preschool run (with hood) that will make me look more my age?? Feel very paranoid when im out as ALOT of people tell me i dont look old enough to have 2 boys so young and that im married! I know i should see as a compliment but i dont at the moment
sorry this is so epic....i dont eat a great deal.. which isnt good i know but struggle to prepare healthy food when i have ds2 screaming in pain alot of time. So.... can anyone help me meal plan aswell? That is also a struggle as ds1 cant have dairy/soya/egg and im vegetarian so struggle to get meals we can all eat that are quick and healthy. any suggestions there? Hmm what else.. oh i have long wavyish hair which i have to wash if i wear it down and generally leave it to wave itself... make up wise i NEVER go out with out any but i am trying to cut down on time so am trying to find a good tinted moisterisor and under eye concealer and lip gloss that isnt sticky!
please be gentle with me!
