Help for Paige’s Plastics

Hello and thank you for taking the time to be here to read my story.

In 2018 I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I was so so excited but through the short 9 months, the weight quite literally, piled on.

Her birth wasn’t the easiest or smoothest sailing that all soon to be mothers hope to have, it was quite the opposite. I ended up being rushed to have an emergency caesarean which was a life or death matter to get my precious baby out! I am incredibly greatful that both myself and my daughter are healthy and all well.

After I healed i lost a stone or so but it came back with more weight joining it, it was an up and down battle for 3 years of loosing and gaining more weight.

I fell pregnant with my 2nd daughter which was the complete opposite to my first birth & pregnancy although I did end up having a second caesarean which again was a challenge within itself, and trying to manage a new born and toddler whilst being severely overweight.

4 months later and after endless battles in my mind and many insecurity’s to do with being an overweight mum and what other children would say to my daughters at school I decided enough was enough and it’s not about myself anymore, I need to be healthy and to inspire my daughters to look after themselves. But how could I show them how to love yourself when I didn’t love myself, quite literally the opposite.

In 12 months, from change of diet, being more active and a huge amount of support and encouragement and determination I lost just over 6 stone, and around 9 dress sizes!

But that brought along a whole different challenge that I didn’t expect to affect me as much mentally as it has.

due to the amount of weight loss, 2 pregnancy’s and 2 Caesarian’s I am left with a large apron overhang that I am seriously ashamed of. The lack of elasticity in my skin from the amount of change it’s gone through unfortunately is now nothing a gym will help tone up, trust me I’ve tried.

in summer the creases end up incredibly sore, and I’m once again out of action to be the fun parent I desire to be for my young children as I’m uncomfortable and embarrassed in my own skin.

so I am trying to raise any money I can to put towards my £6000 total to have cosmetic surgery so I can finally after 6 years be happy within my skin.

if you have made it this far I am incredibly greatful for your time, and if you are able to do so please donate anything you can and help me finalise my journey of becoming the best mum I can for my two girls.

If you are unable to donate but still want to help me, I’d be very greatful for any shares.

Thank you so much, Paige
