Thanku yummy! I am glad I’m not alone, although not wishing u any wobbly parts obviously:)
I think age doesn’t help either. I know since I hit 30 the usual just cutting out crisps for a week and miraculously losing half a stone just wont work any-more. Any remaining baby fat just hangs on like my life depends on it! honestly I wish my body would just get with the program, more food is always on its way … but never mind, at least we have leggings!

Honestly, this could be me!
I am reaching a similar point myself too of thinking that maybe I need to learn to love myself as a size12 now because hey, this is what happens after you have a tribe of children and like the finer stuff in life. I have tried really hard to loose my last bit of weight and to be honest, it just isn’t shifting so maybe like you, I just need to learn to embrace it!
Great post as ever – I think you are absolutely spot on xxx

I am on the larger size and would love to be a little smaller, but all the meds etc make me like this. I think the key is to present a happy, healthy body image. I dont remember my mum dieting, which is why I thinnk I would never diet. We eat heathily, MadDad and I eat pretty similar, I just eat smaller portions and he is lighter than me! I am pretty active with the boys too. I little of what you like isnt bad.

I love my (non-pregnant) size 12-14. You do what is reasonable and healthy and makes you happy, girl!

Good on you Lynsey!,
I bet you look fabulous! As a mum of a teen who is a size 12 (not the usual twig like teen) I know its hard to get there… No-one wants to be unhappy in their own skin, but we dont want to spend our entire life torturing ourselves every-time we put something in our mouth either.
Our bodies change, we have to learn to love em in my opinion XXXX

I say eat! I’m a size 16 and was probably a 14/16 before I had kids and I’m now at the larger side of a size 16 but to be hinest I don’t care. That’s not to say I don’t care what i look like because i do and I like to look nice but life is too short to be worrying about the size of my thighs/stomach/bottom etc. Life is too short!
