A mother of one who's now 10 dress sizes larger than she was on her wedding day had accepted she'll never be a size eight again.
But though she admits she has more cellulite and "wobble" these days, she's also more content and feels much sexier.
Though she never expects to be that slim again, she doesn't wish to be, especially because her body gave her a longed-for baby.
Frances, who lives in Dorset, England, also admitted that her sex life has rocketed since gaining weight.
But the pounds didn't creep on from overeating but rather during a traumatic pregnancy and birth, plus the months that followed.
This was due to a condition Frances was born with, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).
Frances tied the knot at 140 pounds but weighed 252 pounds after giving birth, putting on 112 pounds.
"I continue to love her more every day, and now that she's a bigger woman, our lovemaking has intensified as she's more confident and comfortable with herself."
