I found it incredibly difficult after having Jack to go back to buying non maternity clothes. I found myself drawn towards the designs of the maternity clothes and feeling more comfortable with the fact that they weren’t as tight fitting as non maternity wear. It took me almost two years to finally ditch my maternity jeans and tunic tops and actually go proper clothes shopping for other clothes instead. I don’t want to wait that long this time.
Back when Jack was little, however, I wasn’t actively trying to lose weight. As I now am, I’m going to be in need of new clothes anyway so will be heading into town to buy some new items. My wardrobe is in desperate need of a revamp – I don’t remember the last time I actually had a proper shopping spree – so it is well overdue.
But what do I need? I’m in desperate need of some new jeans – I’m thinking of grabbing a pair from Trilogy as I know they’re good quality. I want to head to places like New Look and H&M to grab some nice tops and Primark to grab some strappy tees and vests to celebrate the summer – and hopefully my weight loss too!
Clothes shopping after pregnancy can be so difficult though – I find myself to be most lacking in confidence when I’ve just had a baby. Although I know I’ve just done something amazing, giving birth to a baby, the flabby tummy can get you down a little bit so I am determined to tone up and lose weight quicker this time and get to where I want to be. By summer I hope to have lost at least the 1.5 stone I lost before pregnancy – and maybe even more. I want to be able to run after my children without running out of breath; I want to be able to push the pushchair up the hills on the school run without having to stop for a break – and most of all, I want a new wardrobe too so I can start feeling confident in myself again. That isn’t too much to ask, is it?
