It took me 10 years to feel sexy again after giving birth. A new man and back injury helped me get there.

After I had my son, I became consumed with trying to get my pre-baby body back. Even after losing 60 of the 80 pounds that I had gained during my pregnancy before my son turned 2, I was still unhappy with my stomach, which seemingly bulged and sagged no matter what exercise or diet I tried. I had never appreciated how flat or effortlessly toned my stomach had been before I had my son until I no longer had it.
