In addition to being a new mom of two, Tori Roloff has had to adjust to her postpartum body.
The Little People, Big World star just got brutally honest on what this has been like.
Spoiler: it hasn’t been easy.
Tori Roloff is getting extremely candid about her postpartum body.
The Little People, Big World star, who recently gave birth to her daughter Lilah Ray, just got brutally honest about trying to love her postpartum body in a revealing Instagram post.
This isn’t the first time she has done so.
Back when Tori first announced that she and husband Zach Roloff were expecting their second child together, the star said that this pregnancy has been a lot harder than the last.
“Don’t get me wrong-I’ve been so lucky… im not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord),” she wrote on Instagram.
“However I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around. I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure.”
“Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).”
“It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way.”
She went on to write that she was going to give these issues up to God.
“Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me.”
She then sent a strong message to her followers that we hope she can utilize for herself now:
“But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do: you’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being.”
Now that baby Lilah is born, though, Tori has a new struggle to deal with: learning to love her postpartum body.
She just got brutally honest about the subject in another revealing Instagram post.
“I’m trying really hard to love my postpartum body. It’s only been 3 weeks since growing and then birthing a human being, but it’s hard,” she shared to her fans.
“Having major abdominal surgery is difficult for me because I hate being restricted.”
“I hate asking for help,” she continued.
“I hate not being able to physically keep up with where my mental state is. Plus there are jiggles in places that are honestly just hard to come to terms with.”
She went on to say that she knows this is all temporary.
“I know my body will heal and I will be back where I want to be. It’s just the waiting that’s hard.”
She then sent an inspiring message to all the other postpartum moms out there:
“For all those PP mamas out there. Love yourself hard. We all have our days and that’s okay. Our bodies are so insane and I’ve said it before- women are bad ass.”
“I thank God everyday for the family he’s given me. I’ll be here continuing to try and practice what I preach and love myself through this phase.”
Since her candid post, so many fans have reached out with support.
