It's not huge. It looks ok-ish in clothes, baggy tops mainly.
But the loose, hideously wrinkly skin and wonky section scar get me down. I'm 38, was overweight in my teens and twenties and had three massive pregnancy bumps, at 28, 30 and 35. I lost weight after baby number 2 and it didn't seem too bad then but a third huge belly at 35 followed by a section seems to have wrecked it.
I'm 5,5', 9st 10, wear an 8-12 depending where I'm shopping, have alright legs and arms and generally think I look ok, until I'm in underwear or a bikini. I don't really want to lose weight as I have a long face that will look more gaunt if I do. I've been doing sit-ups, press ups and planks for a while and it hasn't had any positive effect.
Is surgery the only answer? I'd like to feel good naked/in a bikini. Has anyone made saggy loose skin look better through diet or hard work? Or do I just need to reconcile myself to it?
