Giovanna Fletcher's post-baby family holiday photos are delightfully normal
'It's not a weight thing. It's an inner feeling thing' 👏👏
As if we couldn't love Giovanna Fletcher any more, she's just gone and outdone herself. Never afraid to speak up about her vulnerabilities and fears, the author and mother has just shared a wonderful admission of her feelings about being a new mother, and embracing her new body.
Whilst on holiday in Italy with her husband Tom Fletcher (AKA Tom from McFly), Giovanna shared a picture of herself and her two young sons, Buzz and Buddy, with the caption:
"I've seen a lot of posts about post-pregnancy bodies this week. At times it does bother me how much my body has changed, but I know I don't ever want it to stop me having fun with the boys. They aren't going to look back and think 'Gosh, Mum had terrible cellulite, stretch marks and wobbled a lot', but they would notice if I sat out of games and didn't make the most of my time with them."
Giovanna continued:
"My body isn't what it used to be, but even when I was a size 8 I was unhappy with how I looked. It's not a size thing. It's not a weight thing. It's an inner feeling thing. My body gave me the two most important things in my life. So thank you to you in all your wobbles, lumps and bumps. To me, you are perfectly imperfect. Xx #nofilter"
Well said! 👏
