This personal trainer’s post-baby body attitude is refreshing to hear

We need more positivity like this.

A personal trainer in Australia, Emily Skye, who recently welcomed her first child, has posted a refreshing Instagram update about her post-baby body. Using three photos from before, during and after her pregnancy she wanted to show how much her body changed and how she loved each stage. She said:

"So much has changed in only a year! I loved my body before I got pregnant but I love it even more now! I think it’s so crazy how big my belly was at the end of my pregnancy! Isn’t the human body incredible!! What we’re capable of absolutely blows my mind. My body isn’t just supporting my own life but it grew a human - and still is! I’m so proud of what my body has done and continues to do for my precious daughter."

She added that she isn't going to succumb to pressure to 'bounce back':

"Mothers are absolutely amazing and we should all be so proud of ourselves! Being a mother isn’t easy in many ways which I’m now starting to experience and the last thing I’m going to do is pressure myself to “bounce back” quickly or beat myself up because my body hasn’t returned to my pre-baby condition. It’s totally unrealistic for me to expect to “bounce back” from having my beautiful big belly to a flat and lean tummy in a short amount of time."

She finishing by saying that she has decided to focus on what's important - being her best mentally and physically for the sake of her daughter.

"I choose to celebrate my body and how incredible it is in any condition, shape (or size) and I choose to focus on being my best mentally and physically for my daughter Mia - and my priority definitely isn’t looking a certain way. . I just want to get fit and healthy again and I know that will take time, consistency and patience and it’s important for me to be realistic about my goals."
