Day 52 - I need new underwear

Reading some of the other blogs, today seems to have a bit of clothes theme - ie nothing is fitting us anymore. Not a bad problem to have really.

This morning I woke up a bit later than yesterday so just did my skipping before I woke my boys. Legs still like lead and tripping more than ever. Three days ago my skipping was awesome and I felt like I had broken through a plateau...  then came that massive leg workout on the same day and my skipping has suffered ever since. But I have stopped stressing so much about the numbers and just focus on trying to keep moving constantly for the allotted time. But it just hurts to get slapped with the rope when I trip.

After breakfast - my new fave meal of the day - I spent some time in my wardrobe trying on potential outfits for work. I gingerly pulled out pants that were definitely slim fitting pre-pregnancy and tried them on. They do up!!  YAY.

So while I am fitting into my old clothes again (again YAY), there are some things that may have to be retired. My shape is certainly different to what it was. I now have a "shelf" of flab that starts from just under my belly button and comes in almost horizontally to the C-section scar. Most unattractive and I call it a "gunt" (apologies if this offends anybody). Yes it is getting smaller but it is damn stubborn. If I have another baby I will most likely need another C-section so I will ask the doctors to give me a tummy tuck while they are at it.

So in trying on work pants today, I discovered that my underwear that I bought post-baby (Gap size L bought in Hawaii in November) is now hanging off me like granny undies. Sexy huh? Under trousers, VPL's are not pretty at the best of times and with granny bunches it looks hideous. So I am wearing a skirt today.

The problem with the underwear that was pre-baby is that it rolls down under the "shelf" into the C-section scar and makes the shelf more pronounced and is uncomfortable as it is still healing 10 months down the line.

So any suggestions as to on-line shops that will deliver to Japan? I have tried to find decent stuff here in Tokyo and it is just awful. Underwear built for tiny asian butts just don't suit white girls with hips.
