Why moms who have gone through the same experience hurt other moms with body shaming- here's what I went through

-

Being a mom is the most beautiful experience. There is no more joy in this world than seeing your baby. But after the beautiful part comes the part where we are judged for our postpartum bodies,especially the belly.

So here I am sharing my story of how I overcame those who shamed me for my postpartum body.

In the monthly visit to the doctor, I had to put on weight at least 2 3 kilos every month. So by the time I get ready for delivery I have gained around 12 kilos. And after delivery we have this resting stage for 40 days where we are supposed to only eat and lie in bed. That's the worst part for me. So again I gained around 5 kilos more. So from 55 kilos to around 72 kilos.

Then all of a sudden after 40 days of eating and my belly tied tightly with a belt to flatten the belly as they say, some aunt or relative might visit and to just say touching your belly,'you haven't lost your pooch. 😏or you have a pooch'

Like how the hell will the belly go in 40 days just by a belly tightener. Then this taunting goes on until they get a new victim or in this case a mom . How do people expect us to lose belly fat and all that loose muscles which we had got big in 10 months in just 40 days.

What people need to understand is that it takes time. It's not that easy. Different people have different bodies. So those who bounced back to their normal bodies good for the them. Stop comparing all others to them.

It won't stop there, no matter how many mouths u shut up. So ladies who r mom's or those who are in their journey to be moms. Be prepared for this. But don't give a care to what people say about your body.

Love your body because it gave you a baby. That itself is a miracle and our bodies will eventually go back. Know that it takes time. Don't rush . Give it rest first and then start a fitness regime and diet care. You may get back ur old self or maybe not. But what matters most is that we are healthy to care for our families. ❤

Share your experience if you had the same.

Everybody tells us to be positive or stay positive. Is it the correct way to succeed in life? Because life isn't all bout positivity and life throws us into a lot of negativity. How to deal with negativity (my way): Over the years I have used a trick . Maybe some of you already do it. Whenever I am faced with a situation which has an outcome I am not that sure of, I always think of the worst outcome first. I digest that thought. Then I think of how I will react to it and slowly I also come up with a solution. How it works: It's simple. Now I am mentally fully prepared for the worst case scenario and I go tackle it with also a lot of hope. So whatever the outcome is I am not afraid of it. I am mentally, emotionally and physically ready. Why it's helpful: Because in life we have to face a lot of negativity in the form of negative people, negative partners, negative comments, hate comments, and the list never ends. Even if you are proposing someone you a...

In our present lives, our minds are exposed to a number of things. The constant changing technology, our own thoughts about our past and future, too much stimuli, too much responsibility, too much hurrying.

And here are some practical tips which when implemented into our lives, it will change us. I am not an expert but ever since I have started to change my thoughts, I feel good. I am more stress free.

But there are some moments we shouldn't. And it's much better if we didn't multitask. Like when we are talking to a friend or a colleague we shouldn't be using our phones. We should only focus on our tal...

Don't judge a book by its cover and the same way don't judge a human

   When I moved to a new school after coming back from Saudi, I had this new friend in class. She was so lively, jolly and always laughing, singing and cracking jokes. I used to think how happy she is. But all that changed when one day when I knew her veryclose. Her parents were divorced and she was suffering alot. I was shocked. How could she make us all smile when she is so sad. We tend to judge people by their outer appearance or outer behavior. When actually they are the complete opposite of it. Some people laugh while carrying a burden in their hearts. Some might cry in our grief but actually they are enjoying themselves seeing us in distress. Just because someone failed doesn't mean they are a loser. It could be their motivation to succeed in life . Whereas a person who has won all his life will turn out to be a loser because he sees nothing after his victory. A living person can be dead to others because he is of no use to others or even himself and some live e...
