This is the first time I’ve worn a bikini and felt good about my body in the two years since I’ve had my boy. I lost ten pounds post delivery and I’ve been the same weight since then. Not matter what I do I just can’t seem to get down to my target. But looking at this picture I’m starting to think that I AM losing the fat and gaining muscle at the same time. I’ve still got a LONG way to go but I’m getting there one step at a time. I won’t be as narrow as I was before, my boobs definitely won’t be anything other than deflated milk bags, and my stretch marks will probably fade a little bit but all that is ok. Because I made something incredible and did it all by myself. I see these marks on my skin as visible proof of my strength and a reminder of just how amazing a woman’s body is.
