Before pregnancy I wore size 12 jeans and 10-12 tops. Sick of wearing only leggings so went and tried on a pair of 16 jeans yesterday and they were too small. Think it's the first time I have properly looked in a mirror for ages as well. Was a bit disheartening.

It's weird, on one hand I feel skinny because I'm not pregnant any more (12 weeks since labour) but on the other hand I thought I was kinda fat BEFORE pregnancy and I'm huge compared to then.

And on one hand I don't give a fuck because it's hard to when you've recently had millions of folk staring at your vulva but on the other hand I was for the first time in my life sort of ok with my body before pregnancy.

I know I grew a person and all that but it's hard to be positive. I've been trying to go out on lots of long walks with the pram but I just don't think It's going to cut it :( My fingers are too fat to wear my wedding ring.

Cut out sugar and carbs and eat more protein and fat and you'll soon lose it.
