Linda Mtoba Shares Emotional Message On Learning To Love Her Post Baby Body! We love Linda Mtoba for many reasons and for the most part hr candidness and honesty.
The actress and new mummy just shared all things people especially celebs don’t share about post pregnancy life, all the changes the body goes through. Linda said she wanted to share her story to let other new mommies know that a quick snap back to pre-pregnancy body doesn’t happen for everyone and that it’s okay as the same body did something remarkable by bringing new life which is bound to leave anyone changed. She encouraged other moms to be gentle with themselves self as she learns to do the same.
“Most days I look at it in awe of what it’s capable of doing and between those moments I have some where I cry cause I don’t see myself & all I see is the amount of work i have to put in to get “me” back, I see stretch marks I never had, cellulite in new parts of me, how soft my body is and not as tight as it was, I see flaws. I don’t feel as sexy or as beautiful I used to feel. But these are fleeting thoughts that come down like a weight and I’m allowed to feel them and cry through them if that’s what i feel like doing,” Linda shared.
Linda also shared how supportive and amazing her husband has been through everything she feels. “On a random day as I was looking at myself in the mirror my husband came in and nonchalantly said “hey sexy” before him seeing that I was crying. He came in and reassured me, he kissed my belly and said “this body carried & gave us the most special gift we’ve ever gotten, I love it”,” she gushed.
But it’s also about learning to lover herself for the actress who added, “I’m learning to embrace me & love me, I might take a lil longer getting dressed (longer than I used too, which was long) I might cry in between outfit changes, but it’s all growth.”
