To all the nice people who commented (on the blog and in person) on my alleged "hotness" in a bikini in the prior post:
Let me clarify.
That was pre-baby.
Waaaaaaay pre-baby.
2005 pre-baby.
Post-Baby Ashley will probably never grace the world in a bikini again. Or a bathing suit for that matter.
Not just because of the post-baby weight I've managed to lose and then re-gain,
but because my belly now looks like a road map.
Seriously. Jeff nicknamed it Bruce the Burn Victim. It's bad.
Cocoa Butter does not work. The End.
P.S. Thought to ponder: Back then I would have been too embarrassed to post this pic because I thought I was a little "chunky." Today, I'd kill (seriously) to have that body back. Oh how times have changed.

that picture is smokin' hot!! but i totally understand the after baby issues, i will never look back at my old pictures again and pick apart my body like i used to.
Bruce the burn victim. LMAO
I made it to the very end of my first pregnancy with not ONE stretch mark, and then one day I noticed one and I crapped my pants and promptly went into a deep depression.
Then my second pregancy they came out in full force. I never tried Cocoa butter because I knew that it wouldn't work. I just figured I'd get my shit chopped off (aka tummy tuck) at a later date.
I don't think I'm quite "burn victim" status, but it ain't cute and It will be a cold day in hell before I put my fat ass into a bathing suit.
I don't even have a baby, and I know exactly what you are talking about. However, you still have a smokin' hot figure!
You look great in that picture. I totally get what you mean, when I was I skinny I didn't know it or enjoy it. Now even though I am a bit (quite a bit) heavier than I want to be I really try to enjoy it so that when someday I am morbidly obese, I can look back at this time positively.
I know how ya feel!
I was going to comment on the bikini picture, too! But I got distracted with whatever I said in the comment. VERY hot bikini picture. But you can still look that hot in a one piece if your that uncomfortable. I WISH we lived by each other, I'd exercise with you. I need to go myself and I think I'm going to get certified to be an Aerobics instructor in a few months. I just wish there were more than two options in Rexburg to teach. Anyway. I still think your hott!!!
Hey, I think you should come to the meet and greet on Saturday! It would be good to see you. Drag Amber and Victoria along.
WOW ash lookin sexy! Don't tell people thats pre baby. just let them think thats how it is now. I totally feel you on the road map though. My body is crap. To bad, and I'm only 24....Damn!
you look great!
then and now.
ashley, i think you're gorgeous!
and no, cocoa butter doesn't work for me either. it gave me rashes cause i'm allergic to it. just like i'm allergic to every other lotion that isn't vaseline brand.
i was lucky enough to not be graced with a single stretch mark, but i did get alot of flub instead.
Uh yea...your smokin hot and to make you feel a little better when I told my doctor I was sad about my stretch marks and I felt like they were out of control, he looked at my stomach, was silent for a minute and goes, "Well atleast you get something great out of it?" haha. The look on his face was priceless like, "Oh my hell you have a lot". With a 9 pound baby I guess I couldn't escape it.
I just wanted to tell you that the comment you left on Amber's blog was the longest I have ever read.
Except for the guy who posted about the evils of cicumcision on my blog last week. That was long and awesome.
Ashley, I'm gonna let Jon read this post cause I'm pretty sure he secretly believes that if I would've used stretch-mark cream, or cocoa butter or some false-claiming product, I wouldn't have gotten stretch marks. I always tell him that the only way those would've worked is if they reduced the size of my 9 1/2 pound baby!!!
Ashley, I hope all is well! We haven't heard from you in a while!
