I feel so sad. Before kids I had a shapely bum and decent cleavage and a healthy BMI of 20. I’m breastfeeding and slowly losing the weight to get back to a comfy 10. My BMI is 23 now and I’m a smallish 12, but I’m already looking bony in all the wrong places? My chest is looking veiny and my ribs showing, my boobs look deflated and my backside is non-existent. Meanwhile I can still pinch a couple of inches of waist and hip chub and my upper arms are chunky. Will this ever sort itself out?
I’ve got the thick waisted and flat-rear look that my Mum (bless her) has had for as long as I can remember but I’m only early 30s.
I read that breastfeeding mobilises fat from reserves in the thighs and hips, but why does my chest look gaunt already? Why is my middle still so broad?
I remind myself of a dairy cow:(
I am toned and do yoga and walking.
