“Give birth, I'll look at you then,” saidOnce Vera is our common friend. Faith - a fragile girl, you can even say slender. And our friend, on the contrary, the lady is quite dense. “After the birth, everyone is getting better, this is normal,” she said confidently, carefully tucking the blanket in the stroller. Meanwhile, Vera has two children. She just didn't want to get better. What should a woman really look like after giving birth? This war can not be stopped. Mothers, who are striving with all their strength to return to the prenatal form, contemptuously curl their lips, looking at the donuts with wheelchairs: launched itself. Dumplings, in turn, snort in the direction of the gazelles with the children: “One should think about the child, and not press to press.” In fact, in my deepest conviction, the woman should owe nothing to anyone. And each does not look like it happened, but the way she really likes. Pampushka likes her soft soft body. The thin one likes a flat stomach and compliments from the series “as if she didn’t give birth.” But for some reason, plump mothers are justified: hormones, they say, children, there is no time for themselves. And their opponents carry their skinny body, like a banner in this war: there would be a desire. Why? Everyone is free to look like he wants. The appearance of a woman does not depend on anything else - only on her own desire. As proof of this, we have two stories. Both about mothers of large families. Each has given birth to five children. They are both very different. And both are good in their own way.
1. The Story of Simone Gately
Only the lazy have not written about this woman.A fitness babe with five kids – where have you ever seen that? A beautiful belly and perfect hips don’t come easy to her. Simona gets up at five in the morning to work out. Then she makes breakfast for her husband and a bunch of kids. And then… then the usual chores of a mother of many children. But this family’s entire lifestyle is based on the principles of a healthy lifestyle. That is, not sitting in front of the TV with pizza and popcorn, but walks, the beach and hikes. Not cereal from a bag for breakfast, but normal porridge. It’s probably not easy. But a mother can do it! “If you add up all the kilograms I lost after each pregnancy, it’s about 115,” says Simona. In her opinion, this is not a feat at all. If she could do it, then anyone can. The main thing is not to be lazy and not to wallow in self-pity. Start small and strive for more. And take care of yourself. After all, healthy eating is first and foremost about health, and only then about the figure. And Simone doesn’t even need a gym: , together with the children. She has the main thing: the desire to look good. It’s her choice.
2. The Story of Tiffany Barker
Oct 17 2017 at 9:16 PDT Tiffany also has five children, but not all of them are hers. She became a surrogate mother for two of the kids. She looks completely different from Simone. During her last pregnancy, she gained more than 30 kilograms. The other day, Tiffany even wrote a post on her Instagram, in which she urged women not to be ashamed of their new body. “I was a normal weight until I got pregnant for the fifth time. Now I can’t work out because my milk disappears from the stress. I eat whatever I want because I work a lot, and I try to spend my free time with my children. And my figure can wait. I am proud of my choice. And this is only my business. My body is my home, which I take care of. Sometimes my home is dirty, sometimes it is clean. Our bodies are not always ready to let go of excess weight. Divorce, depression, eating disorders, addiction or toxic relationships - all this affects our body. But we must find a reason to be grateful. We must love ourselves. Be healthy, be strong, change when you can, don’t be afraid to be yourself. Don’t pay attention to anyone. It’s okay if someone thinks I’m ugly. I’m not on this earth to please someone’s eyeballs. I’m more than just a body. And you are too.” It’s as if Tiffany is making a little excuse. It’s completely in vain. After all, it’s her choice. There are many similar examples: remember the mother of five Natalia Vodianova and the mother of an only child Tess Holliday, for example. Both have an army of fans. Both are shamed for something. However, extremes are always harmful. Fat shaming is bad. You can’t shame people for being fat. Body positivity is also so-so when it comes to fanaticism. You can’t hate skinny people for being skinny. Justifying your extra pounds with the magical “I’m a mother” is terrible. Excess weight is still harmful to health, there is no point in promoting obesity. But being yourself is wonderful. And who do you like more - Simone or Tiffany?

- Both are good, each in its own way. Simone gets a like for her discipline, Tiffany for her courage.
