Tummy Dilemma

I am on my way to a friend's birthday party, and just realized that I have wasted quiet a lot of idle time, not minding my tummy flabs. I was so horrified, that the only option for me to wear is my colored leggings, instead of my skinny jeans!!!

I tried on my jeans and they fit well with my thighs.. but hips and waist? I can't even close the damn buttons! I am so mortified! Did I just gained more weight this past few weeks? Or is it just my tummy muscles getting more relaxed than they should. Every time I try to close the jeans, they seem to show off my terrible tummy flabs. How dfo I get rid of these?!

Not only am I worried now with my stretch marks, I have weight issues to think of. Don't even know where to start? Hmmm... And I am such a ouch potato, maybe start an exercise routine? Or a certain diet maybe? This is sad... but I have to do, what I gotta do, all for the sake of vanity, ei?

Stretch Mark 101...anyone?

I just came home from the drugstore and bough for myself a Palmer's Tummy Butter. This is actually my second jar. I finished the first one before I became an official mommy. I just thought of buying another one, since I have a friend who swore that her stretch marks vanished (maybe lessened) after using this butter.

I didn't have any problems with it's formulation. It is a bit greasy, but I guess, that's supposed to be how it normally should be, to moisturize my skin, and avoid stretch marks. I also love it's yummy smell. It's more like coca with vanilla.

The only thing I didn't like about it, is that, despite my religious use of it, I still had a bunch of stretch marks a few weeks before giving birth. I know a lot of my friends are going to ask me, why the hell, would I want to try it again, if it didn't help me the first time I used it... and I thought, maybe because, I believe it's worth a second try.

I am very patienbt with the products I use, and I am crossing my fingers that this time, my stretch marks will vanish with this second jar of Palmer's Tummy Butter. I haven't tried the other Palmer's products that also promised erasing stretch marks. I opted for the Tummy Butter, because I heard a lot of good reviews about it. It shouldn't be that bad, trying it out, 'again' this time. Wish me luck guys!

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...
