I’ve come to the realization that by next Monday…I will not be back at my pre-pregnancy weight. Why does it matter? Well, that’s the day that my husband has his promotion ceremony where he will pin on as Captain and that means I need to get slightly dressed up. Only problem is I still have my little ‘Buddha belly’ (more like Mabel belly to be exact) and my thighs are still a little bit larger than I’d like. I also hate the idea of buying a new dress in a size larger than I’ll be once I get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and that I’d never (hopefully never) wear again.
So that’s the predicament. What’s the solution? SPANX!
| ‘The Higher Panty’! Umm…why do they always use super skinny models…does she really need SPANX in the first place? And I bet she’s never had a baby either, lol! Taken from www.spanx.com |
This is the pair I’m getting…controls the baby belly and the thighs! Score!
I used to sell them when I worked at Nordstrom back in college and thought, I’ll never wear those. Haha! Well, look at me now! I’m buying a pair after I post this and my postpartum butt is gonna fit back in my old clothes (I’m not settling for anything less). Those ladies that I would sell them to swore by them and said they work miracles. I figure it’s worth the $36 bucks if it can smooth me out a little until the last 7 pounds come off. That way, I can buy the dress in my normal size and then be able to wear it again. I love how this momma brain works! 😉
AND I’ll be sure to post a review of what I think of them after I test them out!

I never bought a pair of spanx until post-baby either! only had to wear them once or twice, but a word of caution – they can get SO HOT! especially that style with the high waist and legs. But they do the trick!
i need some of those after i have my baby! definitely post a blog on how well they work 🙂
