Before I fell pregnant I was in the best shape of my life, fit, active, lifting weights and finally comfortable with myself. I did plan on keeping fit and active through pregnancy but that just didn't happen. I didn't have the energy, I felt horrific and it was just too uncomfortable alongside the fact my hubby and parents really didn't want me doing much being old fashioned and thinking I could put baby at risk, so I cut down a lot and only did light to moderate exercise when I could.
I gained a lot of fat and with that came cellulite, I have always had a little bit but this was something else and I find it very unsightly, like I will never feel comfortable in shorts again. Though I didn't worry too much thinking I could probably get rid of it afterwards.
Anyway, I'm now 8 months postpartum, have lost almost all of the baby weight (just a couple of lb to go), I am at the gym twice a week back on the weights, nothing like before yet but I'm gradually trying to work my way back up etc.
BUT despite the weight loss and toning back up the cellulite just is not shifting.
I am still breastfeeding so not sure if that has any effect?
Will it ever go or should I just start trying to accept that it's there for the long term?
I am only around 50kg/7st10 currently and always been petite/short, so it's not like I have much left to loose.
Did yours ever go or is it just part of becoming a mum for a lot of us?
I would like to think I could get rid of it, but if that's unlikely I need to just learn to accept and live with it I suppose.
