#this_is_postpartum⁣ ⁣ “You’re promoting an unhealthy lifestyle and morbid obesity.”⁣ ⁣ “Pregnancy didn’t do that to you.”⁣ ⁣ “You might want to try diet and exercise.”⁣ ⁣ “It’s about being healthy for your child, you’ll die soon living so unhealthy!”⁣ ⁣ UNHEALTHY.⁣ ⁣ It’s the word that is constantly thrown at me the minute even a sliver of my skin shows.⁣ And the reason I felt so ashamed of my body, especially after I gave birth and my weight returned after years of torturing myself to get it off.⁣ Why I felt the need to avoid mirrors and photos.⁣ Why I felt undeserving and unworthy to say this is postpartum for me.⁣ The fear of these words stopped me from living.⁣ ⁣ These notifications still buzz on my phone and the whispers still fill messages all regarding my size and my weight.⁣ ⁣ All pointing at a photo. At a mother. At a quick glance at one life that is *trying* to be her best and coming up short based on the twisted societal views of beauty and health and the “typical” version of postpartum.⁣ ⁣ But a body like mine IS a postpartum body.⁣ And I deserve to celebrate it.⁣ And I will continue to do so.⁣ This needs no explanation.⁣ This postpartum body is the strongest now that it has EVER been.⁣ This postpartum body shows up multiple times a week to lift heavy weights, has competed, and will compete again next month. (And I’m proud to admit that my total volume per workout is around 11,000 pounds, but whose counting, right?)⁣ ⁣ So I’ll try and say this as clear as possible.⁣ ⁣ All. Postpartum. Bodies. Deserve. To. Be. Celebrated. No. Matter. How. They. Look.⁣ ⁣ And not harassed or ridiculed for being proud of all that they are and all that they have done.⁣ ⁣ Postpartum looks different on every mama. Which makes it beautiful and wonderful and magical and all-the-exciting-happy-powerful-words-combined-into-one-because-MOM-BODS-ARE-THE-BOMB-DOT-COM!⁣ ⁣ Whew.⁣ *wipes sweat*⁣ ⁣ So, today, let’s celebrate you.⁣ And me.⁣ And her.⁣ And ALL of us.⁣ Let’s celebrate our similarities, our differences, & all the little things in between that make each of us so incredibly unique.⁣ ⁣ Because this is postpartum, and so is @thegarciadiaries journey.
