Ask Fit by Friday

Hi,

I gave birth by C-section 5 months ago. I gained 40 pounds during the pregnancy. My baby was postdate but was like a preemie - small and weak. So most of those pounds were just fat.
Anyways, I still look seven months pregnant. Apart from fat near my armpits, thighs, butt, arms, etc, my belly is most disproportionately prominent. I am hugely embarassed and am discouraged just by thoughts of the 1000s of crunches it would take to get rid of the belly. I think I might survive with the rest of the weight, even though I would still be fat. This belly has got to go!

What should I do - diet and exercise and every other wise??

Please help.
