Plastic Surgery????

[IssyMoM]

Hello All,

 I am 25 years old and have 2 children. My son will be three in December and my daughter just turned one this month. I have been really extra self consious about my body lately...Since I had my daughter I have lost over 30 pounds....Everything seems to be getting smaller except my belly....Ive been dieting like crazy and excercising like crazy and is not getting any results...I was told that my stomach will never bounce back because the skin is all streched out from pregnancy....I am considering getting a tummy tuck but my husband will not approve...He says there is nothing wrong with me and he likes my body the way it is but I dont feel that way....I really need some advice....Has anyone ever got a tummy tuck or any plastic surgery after pregnancy or even considering it....your stories will be helpful.....thanks

I think it can be done with exercise and proper diet. If I was able to pull that off, anyone can! I've been off the wagon for quite a while now.... But when I was working out and eating a healthy diet with some treats here and there, my body transformed itself! My tummy was tight, and my legs were toned for the first time in a longgggg while!

Also, I didn't go "nuts" with working out and the dieting factor. It's not like I worked out several hours a day every day of the week. Far from it. The thing that I believe helped the most was my crazy idea to become a runner out of nowhere. Running makes your whole body sleek and toned better than any other cardio out there. It's free because of the outdoors. I also did push ups, different types of ab work outs, and the occasional pilates.

I can post pics of before and after if you'd like. 

Let me know if you need anything else!

Good luck mama, I know you can do it!
