I've always been self conscious about my butt- I'll be honest. Even as a young adult I had cellulite- not much, but I had a butt, thus I had cellulite.
I've gotten to a point where I've just about lost all the weight I wanted to lose as a adult. I only have 3lbs to go!!!! Which, I'm ubber excited about as I never really tried that hard in my 20's to lose the weight I'd slowly gained after High School... it kinda crept up on me, and I just wasn't "motivated" to get where I ideally wanted to be. But after my LO was born, I was DETERMINED to lose the baby weight, and then some. Even though I'd actually gotten in pretty good shape before pregnancy
End result- I feel good... except, I'm still very self conscious about my cellulite (which is for sure worsened over the years). I hate wearing a swim suit (I do, I just don't like it lol- I I usually wear shorts over the bottoms). And I get that it could be much worse, as overall I think I look pretty darn good. I mean I am 39 and have a 20mos old! But I just cannot let it go when it comes to that nasty cellulite. I get I'm not 22, and I should be proud of my body irregardless... but again, there is just something about my butt I cannot get past. Just my own personal demon I guess...
Does anyone have suggestions? I've tried all the diet, excercise tricks I can (take classes, do weights, squats, lunges you name it)- used many different creams over the years. I'd honestly have something more major done if I knew the results would be permanent... like laser treatments I don't care. LOL. So whatever personal experience you have that actually worked, I'm all ears...
Well, not ALL ears
btw- not looking for a "miracle" cure- just something to make it less noticeable overall. shoot- if I found a swim suit that covered it well and looks nice I'd be happy!!!
