We all have different thoughts and feelings about our bodies, this is our Elvie Warrior Stacey sharing her personal experience. ❤ “I was so in love with the weight I gained during pregnancy, I was never very curvy and loved how much my body changed while carrying my son. I never knew how much calories breastfeeding could burn but I realized after a couple months I was steadily losing all my pregnancy weight. And a few more months after that I was still losing weight , even with my supply regulating and my son eating more solids, my body was just not keeping up and I kept losing until I was past my pre-pregnancy weight. I understand that that may be the normal, or even a goal for mothers. But I started losing weight where I didn’t necessarily want to. My body was fluctuating so much to where I struggled accepting how I looked. After talking to other mothers and asking for a lot of reassurance from my support group, I looked at it differently. This body of mine, with all its changes, created life. This body nourished my son. I can always work on it over time, but I deserved to love this body and all the good it has brought into my life. Whether one week or one month, this body nourished your baby, and carried them for 9 months. Although I myself struggled feeling this and working on it myself, you deserve to love this body and feel beautiful in it, with all its changes. #postpartumbody #bodypositivity #mentalhealth #postpartumhealing #breastfeeding #firsttimemom
