NEW – Take our Naked Surveys
July 7, 2009 - 10:44 am
As part of the new series of How to Look Good Naked we’re conducting a number of surveys to find out how people feel about their bodies. Our first survey was looking for answers from teenage girls (now closed), but we’ve just added a new survey for mum’s >
All these results will be featured in a special section of the show presented by the lovely Shona Collins, winner of Miss Naked Beauty 2008! If you want to help Shona in her mission to change the way women see their bodies then you can follow her on twitter (@missnakedbeauty). And if you want to get even more inside info on the new series, the Sultan of Style himself is twittering at (@therealgokwan)

I’ma 29 yr old mother of 1, i have absolutely no confidence, after horrific Pre-eclampsia, went from 8st to just under 16st whilst carrying my son, i was unfortunate that my condition went un-detected. It has left me with stretchmarks over 60% of my body and sagging skin. That was over 6yrs ago and altho i went back down to 7st 8 (now i’m 8st
nothing went back to how it was, i feel physically sick when i look in the mirror and sometimes even wretch…. consequently i have 2 failed marriages behind me, i’m meant to be marrying for the third time to the man i truely love, and already he’s struggling with my lack of confidence, i sit in tears before i leave the house, especially on a night out…. i don’t know what else to do????

Tara, good luck with the wedding!! I understand totally about the stretch marks. I’m 32, slightly older than you and covered in stretch marks – mostly on my thighs and behind. I have never had children and now I could be considered underweight, whereas I was what my mum called a “sturdy girl” in my teenage years. Have you spoken to your GP about the skin sagging? An understanding GP may be able to offer you help/advice. Its worth a shot.
