Since having your child/children, which of these descriptions describes the way you feel about your looks most accurately:

  • fat & frumpy
  • plain jane
  • pretty good
  • yummy mummy

I wear less makeup than i did before but have becaome single so starting to wear more and i have lost about a stone in 5 weeks so put myself under pretty good, it could always be worse but could be better.

pretty good for me mainly, verging on yummy mummy at times, (or so I'd like to think at least).

KeepingQuiet · 20/07/2006 19:07

Greeny

I am very cross with you, you are neither, you are a silly old bugger though

southeastastra · 20/07/2006 19:16

superfit and toned

FrannyandZooey · 20/07/2006 19:16

Oh I am at least pretty good and so are all the other MNers I've met

Bucketsofdinosaurs · 20/07/2006 19:16

Yummy mummy me, although I think it's more a state of mind than statistics. I think I look better than ever and DH daren't complain so I conclude yumminess.
(All right, for weightloss fans I was 2stone overweight and lost it all over 10wks of morning sickness. Very efficient but most unpleasant. Have kept it off since by being a SAHM to 2 very close in age.)

niceglasses · 20/07/2006 19:17

fat,plain,good,mummy.

With wine.

Greensleeves · 20/07/2006 19:18

Sorry Franny

I am a yummy scrummy mummy (and the big pink hairy monster that follows me everywhere I go is NOT my arse, oh no)

fishmitten · 20/07/2006 19:18

fat and frumpy on a bad day, yummy mummy on a good day. Depends how I feel and if I can be arsed!

harpsichordcarrier · 20/07/2006 19:21

Miaou · 20/07/2006 19:23

Pretty good

So shoot me

mazzystar · 20/07/2006 19:23

fat but not frumpy
usually clean

ilovecaboose · 20/07/2006 19:24

fat and frumpy definately!

I have a difficult body shape and so find it really difficult to find clothes that fit properly. Also very stingy when it comes to spending money on clothes.

Did lose about 2 stone by the time ds was 9 months old. Stopped bf then though and put it all back on

It can't bother me too much though cos I still can't find the motivation to diet!

Miaou · 20/07/2006 19:25

I couldn't possibly be a yummy mummy - I don't own anything Boden

Dottydot · 20/07/2006 19:26

I'm fat and frumpy. But then always have been - although joining weightwatchers next week!

rabbitrabbit · 20/07/2006 19:32

May I suggest a category called 'needs some work' and plant myself squarely in the middle of that

Northerner · 20/07/2006 19:34

I'm pretty good me thinks - can't be a yummy mummy as no boden clothes and no 4 x 4 in my drive.

mazzystar · 20/07/2006 19:35

i think boden is a bit frumpy, on the whole.

2OldSofty · 20/07/2006 20:31

Gone skinny but still frumpy. Food frequently found in odd places where DS rubs nose on me.....I feel great when no-one notices! It's only when I have unexpected visitors I KNOW I look bad. Why do some Mums look glam...so unfair!

I would say normally yummy mummy

unfortuanteoly the mummy part is now uppermost

even though I feel fat and frumpy would rather eat worms than describe myself as such

so will settle for pretty good, want to be acheiving yummy mummy by October
