right on, miritchka,
I am in the same situation as you
with the first child, it does come off with hard work.
However, with more children, it is harder to lose the flab which makes someone look much heavier.
MorachRach, you should not compare yourself to other women with
many children who look like they have lost more flab/weight than
you. Why? because your body is not the same as the others’. woman’s.
Also, women have different sized babies; a bigger baby means more “weight gain” so it might be harder for you to lose than another woman who had a smaller baby. In addition, some taller women might have the flab but can hide it better or use some other method for hiding. Lastly, some women have metabolic disorders which means no matter how much exercise or healthy dieting those women do, their body will hardly lose weight compared to women with proper working metabolisms.
All in all, my, our.. children ARE WORTH IT, just think
of all the people who are going through infertility!
Morahrach, I am glad you started this post as most women don’t
like to talk about this issue.
I would like to hear from others who have a few children and
have trouble getting rid of the flab, getting back to “pre-baby#1” weight!
