Unflattering bikini pictures

I have always somewhat struggled with my weight, my mother was a perfect size 6 when she married and after 3 children remained pretty much the same. When I was a teenager we were both a size 10 and regularly swapped and shared clothes, luckily for me my mum was trendy :)

I would fluctuate between a size 8-10 and was fairly happy, I had curves in the right places and my friends were jealous. I was never one to wear short skirts, revealing tops or very tight clothes but after I married I decided to make the most of my figure before it all changed.



I was more confident with myself in my late teens and early twenties but due to my weight increasing to a size twelve I gained stretchmarks. I knew then that when I had children I could say goodbye to bikinis forever. So I made the most of it and wore bikinis every time I went on holiday, I even got my belly button pierced, though no one ever saw it.

Well fast forward 7 years and yes I have a beautiful princess, I got my first stretch mark when I was just 8 weeks pregnant! They quickly spread to my hips, back, breasts and tops of my thighs. It is very depressing but when I see my little girl I honestly forget that they are there and lets face it you don't walk around naked all day so they only time you see them is when you change or have a shower.

Anyway other than seeing celebrities bouncing back days after giving birth you see pictures of unflattering 'bikini' bodies, let me tell you they really make my day! Especially when I recently saw a picture of Josie Gibson from Big Brother (winner 2010) in a bikini! I'm sorry but to look like that when you don't have children is a disgrace, looking at her shapeless sagging body made me happy about mine. I still have firm breasts, not covered in cellulite and do not have saggy skin. She really looks a mess!
