Preggy Nightmares: Stretch Marks and a Flabby Tummy

I guess it has been weeks since my last post. I got a little busy with embassy requirements and other stuff. I just thought of making another blog about my latest thoughts, that has been bothering me... my tummy.

It has been moths since I last gave birth, and I always here all kinds of praises of how I maintained my figure, what’s my secret, blah, blah, blah!!! But what they do not know, is that, even if I did not experience too much weight gain in my pregnancy, even if my arms and thighs seemed to look the same... I have what others may say, the nightmare of pregnancy: my flabby tummy and crazy stretch marks.

This did not bother me that much, until yesterday, when I received my online orders of Forever21 tunics, short shorts and dresses. The shorts were fine, they gave justice to my legs. The tank tops and tunics were okay, in the sense that my arms were flaunted. However, looking at the whole picture... is not a good sight. I still look like 5 months preggy. I tried holding my breath to hold my tummy in, but, they just won’t hide. The super low rise shorts that I bought, also showcased my stretch marks as if I wanted the world to see them.

After staring at the mirror for what seemed to me as forever, I told myself... this can’t stay like this. I must do something, a solution to take away the flabby tummy, and the scariest stretch marks on my body. I surfed online for safe possible ways to do this, and thought of trying some products. For now, I only saw creams and oils that promised instant solutions. But I am looking for more reliable items. Hope I can find one soon...
