For The Love of The Snap Back!

Now a days most women are chasing the body they had pre-baby feeling as if they’re living in someone else’s body myself included. Two weeks after having an emergency c-section I was ready to know when I could start working out to get rid of my belly fat. I was still physically and emotionally drained, and let’s not forget in so much pain. How could I be thinking about working on my snap back. My new found pouch had given me an insecurity I’d never had before to the point where I unconsciously hid my stomach with my arms in public. What am I hiding though? At that time I just had a csection and a baby 4 months prior. Our bodies take way more than 8 weeks to heal more like 1-2 years.

I am now 11 months post partum and still have my pouch however, my focus has changed from snap back to mental health, nutrition, learning how to balance a family of 4, work, and achieving my dreams.

The fact that we are able to grow and birth humans is so powerful and we as women don’t recognize how amazing we are for being able to do so and still manage to be a care taker and so much more after giving birth. We should start focusing more on our mental health, self love, and nutrition before killing ourselves for the sake of the snap back. Don’t get me wrong our physical health is very important but, more so that we can get back to being strong and pain free. Not to meet the worlds standard of what we should look like after giving birth. Let’s start loving ourselves where we are; everything else will fall into place.
