I'm a tall lady , (5ft9)in good shape(weigh 9stn) with a reasonable diet (I don't really cut much out and do have a sweet tooth but eat in moderation),in clothes I admit I look good,however the reality is once naked my body is disgusting. I've birthed 3 children over 10 years and each time the cellulite I've amassed has grown epically.it's not an exaggeration. My thighs, bum, front and back of legs and lower tummy are like bumpy matresses full of pocks and ripples. I work out 5 times a week weight lift and run and drink plenty of water but nothing is shifting it.I can't even look at myself in the mirror ,I feel so ugly i know it's unhealthy but it really affects me.I hate wearing anything short or summer clothes.has anyone got any advice to lessen it or anything which has worked?, I sometimes feel like just chopping all my skin off on my bum and legs.

I’ve been eating a tablespoon of flax seeds every day for about three years (for constipation). I’m not overweight but I definitely still have plenty of cellulite!! On the plus side I now have a poo every day Grin

I have IBS-D so I will have to give the flax seeds a miss. Anything else I could have instead?

@missyB1 I guess not everything works for everyone. But at £1.80 a bag its worth a try. At least I guess you are less bloated Smile

God what a shit thread. Op is entitled to try an improve a part of her body. People do it in various ways all the time. From losing weight, to toning up, to botox, to wearing make up. You can love yourself and still work on yourself.
