A Little About Me

I am a Belgian girl living in South Africa - married to a great South African guy for over 23 years. In April 2006 I had some major surgery, and when I eventually recovered, which took over 6 months, I was so horrified by the state of my body, that I went into depression. My scars literally go from hipbone to hipbone, and because of that, I now have a hanging tummy, which even after two pregnancies I never had before. I have put on over 15 kilo's in weight, I feel very uncomfortable, my clothes do not fit, even new ones that I buy for my new size. I have always been a mother earth figure, all boobs and hips with a tiny waist, and I must say although I never have been reedslim, I like the way I looked, and my husband loved the way I looked. He still loves me very much, but I do not love myself anymore. I would dearly love to be able to regain my figure and my confidence, and return the girl Colin fell in love with to him. I am 49, and I certainly do not feel my age, in fact I still feel like a 20 plus year old. BUT MY BODY!!!!

Please Help?!

The photo that I have attached was taken before the surgery, so that you can see what I used to look like,

I am a bit ashamed to attach a new one of myself, for as far as I am concerned I certainly do not look good!!!
