Have you ever felt like your body needed to change to be more accepted? My body on the left is no more valuable than the one on the right. These pictures go from pre kids, 1st pregnancy, 1st postpartum recovery, body between kids, 2nd pregnancy, and 2nd postpartum recovery. I cried in my first workout after baby # 2. Everything was harder than I remember. I felt weaker than ever, and this is coming from someone who teaches fitness for a living. But then I was reminded that an ultra marathoner isn’t weak after completing a race and an Olympic athlete isn’t weak after competing - they just need time to recover after training so hard for so long. Physically growing a human for 9 months, carrying extra weight to support that new life, increasing blood volume by 50%, birthing a child - why don’t we think of this like the ultimate athletic event that it is? 💪 Your body is badass. Please remember that you are the definition of strength. Give yourself the grace that any athlete would as you recover from this incredible accomplishment. ❤️ Wherever you are in your journey, please take a moment of recognition for ALL your body has done for you. Whisper aloud how much you appreciate it - because it can hear you 🥰. This week on the @wegotherepodcast we dive into weight loss, mental health and yo-yo dieting and talk about ways with @luciahawley_ to reframe it all. #postpartumbody #postpartumjourney #strongwomen #bodylove #pregnancyjourney #motherhoodjourney #bodytransformation #weightloss #dieting
