"Yep, I had twins." That's often my response to the onlookers that I meet while out and about during the day who ask me if both are mine. Having to reassure them that both, yes both, of those children came from me at the same time. Stretched to the limits while in the last month of my pregnancy, I knew my body would never be the same. I watched what I ate, exercised, and took care of my body but unlike those other mom's that only had one, I had TWO, which just destined my ending result.
I've gotten the response from those moms that I would be back to almost normal, sad news but their very wrong. I was stretched beyond belief, went FULL TERM with twins, and have the marks and drooping skin to show for it.
Since loosing 35 pounds, and still going!, I have developed what many know as the muffin top. Yes I said it, I hide that sucker under those flowing shirts and dresses. It just encourages me to keep working towards my goal.............to fit into my non prego pants! While others tuck in their shirts, this girl is staying far away from any form of clothing that will hug around my sweet cinnamon apple muffin top. I often find myself tucking in my muffin top instead. I know I will never be the same, and hey this is a little personal, but I know I'm not the only mom out there that looks down and gets a little discouraged.
What I'm doing to change as much as I can:
Trying NOT to eat everything in my sight.
Working out every night
More salads and less ice cream (sorry mom but I gotta put the spoon down!)
I'm slowly seeing results and it was ALL worth it to have my two amazing children God blessed me with. Every mark, blemish, and stretched out skin was worth it. To those mom's out their, no your not the only one that's struggling to get your body back! Remember, no matter how you look, your child(ren) don't love you because of how you look but love you because you are their mother and no matter what, that will never change.
