I have a nice little story for you today.
Once upon a time, I had this wonderful round bubble butt that I was very fond of. It looked fabulous in jeans and down right killer in skirt and dresses. I was blessed.
Then, I got pregnant and the booty got a bit out of control, but I was pregnant, so there was nothing that could be done and I just enjoyed every moment of being exceptionally round that I could.
After giving birth to my amazing son, I assumed my booty would just resume it's rightful proportions and all would be well with the world... I was ever so wrong. I began to notice that pre-pregnancy clothes were not fitting the same in the derriere as they used to. I was getting this strange sagging of extra fabric. What could this be?!?!
Turns out, upon vacating the premises, my little tenant had taken with him my beloved booty.
I was devestated. I even had an identity crisis of sorts. And now, a year later, I have what cannot even be rightfully called a booty; I have an anti-booty.
Jean shopping has been a nightmare since. I still have wide-ish hips but no butt or thighs to fill out the rest of the pants so when I find a pair that fit my hips, the sagging in the butt and thighs is quite depressing. But conversely, if they fit wonerfully in the butt and thighs, inevitably, I cannot button them. EVER.
I finally resigned myself to having to spend a fortune just to get jeans that fit normally.
Try 399 元。 And that is the SALE price. I hunted down good old Levis in China and was flabberghasted at the price tag. The cheapest regular price pair was 699 元. I got lucky and they had one pair that fit me on the clearance rack... but holy sticker shock.
The good news is that now I can wear a 28inch waist Levi, but I am still mourning the loss of that fabulous booty.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your booty. It's not gone though...it will live in your memory forever. =)
I'm terrified of what will happen to my bbs. =0 I'm sporting I's right now and I have a horrible fear that they'll be best friends with my belly button by the time I've had babies and am done bfing!
Hugs...it's the breastfeeding. I lost a ton of weight, and by last summer, a lot of my clothes weren't fitting anymore. I seemed to have gained a few pounds back since then, and I'm right where I want to be now.
I'm sure you look fabulous--we are often our own harshest critics. Blame the Chinese jeans being different than the American ones. ;)
i'm right there with ya. good ole Levi's... i don't think i'll ever be able to wear anything else.
if you ever want someone to hook you up with Levi's without paying mucho dinero, let me know. i'd be more than happy to help.
Way cute way to tell your story, bummer about the truth of it.
I remember tellin my mom after having DS, "Now I know why there so cut, to make up for what we lost".
Oh, I totally know what you are talking about. I feel like my butt just spread out in a pancake like way, and my hips never got slimmer again. Good thing our kids are so freaking cute!
Hugs,
Carrie
Your the first that I have heard of that has lost thier booty from the baby! My booty- well- definatly didnt get lost! Quite the opposite!
I'm with B- my bbs are out of control and after the whole baby/breastfeeding thing is all done with... yeah... they will be cuddling with my belly button.
Thank goodness our kids are CUTE! ;-)
Umm....a huge yea that. Good grief pants shopping is a friggin' joke. Nice to know though it's not my massive weight loss so much as it's a mom thing. Thanks again Gabi lol.
oh wow, that sucks. maybe you can get butt implants, hehe. ;)
