i saw a photo of myself on-line at dh works do recently and was pretty gutted. Thought i had looked pretty good at the time, but seeing myself next to all these vibrant skinny pretty girls i just looked tired and a bit on the heavy side. of course these women dont have kids, and i have 2 young ones which i totally adore.. it's just i didn't see myself as that girl in the photo.. Am cross with myself that this is all based on what i look like. GRR

Yes. How did I go from that slim beauty my husband fell in love with, to this? I hate catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror now. I look grey instead of vibrant, plump instead of slender. And my hair? Always back in a messy bun, instead of long blonde curls.

Sadly, he looks fitter, healthier and more handsome than ever, 14 years on. But me?

I look like I was chewed up by a combine harvester.
