AIBU or is this just the most horrific combination? Oh and I’m about 3 stone overweight 😩

getting tops to fit around the chest but the rest of the top is massive and just drowns you. You could buy petite but absolutely nothing fits in the chest area.

I could blame the weight gain on having twins but they’re 3 now and I don’t really think I can use them as an excuse (I was actually slimmer 3 weeks after my c section than I am now) for the first year of having twins we literally survived on coffee & chocolate.

I feel so depressed at the moment, my skin is terrible, I look terrible in everything I wear, I feel pretty worthless right now

any tips on how anyone got out of this quagmire of despair? I feel like I desperately need to reclaim some of my life back. How did you start to feel better about yourselves?

Well fitting underwear is your first port of call. It has an immediate way of making you feel more comfortable and slim.

For your skin, are you eating well (or as well as anyone can with pre-school twins)? A couple of tweaks there could help sort your skin and make you feel better too

Take some quick wins eg fake tan - if you can get a mobile beauty person to come to your house to do a spray tan and mani/pedi even better.

This week:
Get to Bravissimo and get fitted again boobs change all the time.

Longer term - when you have your hair done book the next appointment before you leave always. It’s little things like this that helps with consistency.

Drink more water - always!!

I have an ultimate support Bra’s from M&S they have fitted really well but by the end of the day I just cannot wait to take them off. I should arrange for a new bra fitting.

I’ve just started using a facial wash called Paula’s choice, hopefully that will start improving things

thanks for your reply xx

I'd try getting fitted OP. M&S bras are loved by some, but their sizing and support can be hit and miss.

I like Paula's Choice, is it break outs you're getting?

For making you feel good, are there any hobbies or goals you have or want to get into? Like learning an instrumental, doing a 5k or taking cookery classes? Finding a moment for something you enjoy doing can make a massive difference in how you feel

If you can afford it, and are not having any more children, I would really recommend a breast reduction. Greatest thing I have ever done.
