Stretchmarks

Yes, I am a victim of stretchmarks. *nangis teresak-esak*

When I was pregnant, all I applied was Body Shop’s shea butter once a day because I was just darn LAZY! I didn’t have any stretchmarks up to my 8 month, ZERO ZILCH NADA! My Dr even complimented my flawless round belly and I would smile widely thinking “GEE, am I lucky or WHAT!” However, stretchmarks striked and my belly is all BLERGH. Thank god I don’t have the discoloration; that would break my heart even more. To be honest, I haven’t felt sexy in front of my husband since the day I got enormous. SM is not the only thing that bugs me but not having the elasticity of youth skin is what I hate most. I don’t know if there’s any product out there in the market that can fix this problem. I went to Clarins few days back to ask if they have anything for me; nope they don’t. I think the only thing that I can do now is firming it up by working out and doing gazillion crunches. (I get anxiety attacks whenever I think about working out)

 I am sort of working out every Saturday. Does Maya’s Gymboree classes count? ☺ 

To all expectant mothers, please do all the prevention you can from SECOND you found out you’re preggers. AND please, applying only shea butter once a day is NOT enough. I’m sure you mamas are “preventing” but do you think what you’re doing is enough? How do we even know what’s enough.

 

What triggered me to write this post?

I saw my cousin-in-law’s UBER-ly flat tummy last night and I so want it but I know I can never have it.

Flabby Mommy :/
