[quote=Anonymous]I feel you OP and struggle with this myself.

I am 40, petite, and was a very thin size 0/2 most my life. 3 kids later things look different. I’m a size 4 (BMI of 22) but on my petite frame, things are just softer than they used to be and I’m still 5 lbs above my pre-baby weight.

Here is where I currently land on the matter. Recently I have been refocusing my exercising to more strength training, abs, and low weight/high repetition work. I think muscle tone would help a lot, and honestly, my pelvic floor isn’t what it once was so high intensity cardio is harder for me. I also intermittent fast during the week. On the weekends I enjoy my splurges (I have a sweet tooth) although I also will occasionally go out for ice cream with my kids during the week in summer. I’m not like 100% militant about fasting/sugar restriction.

I’ve also adjusted my wardrobe with more high waisted clothes that slim my mid section. In clothes I still look pretty small. I also try to practice gratitude and know I 100% would not trade my kids for a flat stomach. If this is what it took to get to where I am so be it.
