JANELLA Salvador recently opened up about her postpartum body and weight loss journey in an Instagram post. The new mom shared photos of her current look as well as pictures from when she had just given birth to her son Jude Trevor Paterson.
While she was pregnant, Janella promised she would “never forget self-care,” but that it was easier said than done.
“I lost all the remaining ‘vanity’ that I had in me the moment Jude came into my life. My life revolved around him. Even just a trip to the grocery made me feel guilty because I felt like I could be spending time with him instead. I felt like I had to be with him 24/7,” the actress said.
During the first few months of being a mom, she “hid” behind loose clothing and that because she was sleep-deprived, she overate and was “40 pounds heavier” than her ideal weight.
“Of course, gaining weight is totally normal after giving birth…But there comes a time where you want to be healthy and regain your strength,” Janella added.
Aside from exercising, Janella revealed that she got liposuction, even though she was afraid to do so at first. It turned out to be the best decision for her, and she has since regained her confidence.(Cosmopolitan)
