To all the fellow mommas, how has Sarah affected your relationship with food, your body and approach to motherhood?
I’m going to start with the fact that I’m so glad I had my first child prior to Sarah conceiving Fox, otherwise I’m sure my situation could’ve been different. I loved Sarah had her ebooks bought products she recommended blah blah blah, anyway the constant body updates whilst pregnant, bagging out mums that do sit there and eat chocolate/donuts whatever whilst pregnant and not healthy eating and at the gym every god damn day (I get it being healthy whilst pregnant is better for the baby but for someone like me who suffers HG my whole pregnancy, being healthy isn’t something I can achieve, when I’m pregnant I’m on medication every single day just so that I can keep food and water down and sometimes that doesn’t work), I feel if I wasn’t pregnant before her it would’ve got me really down about myself and that I’m failing my child.
As for parenting, I’m very hands on with my children, we cook together, play with mud, build “castles” with blocks the works (keep in mind I have a child that’s a year older than Fox, and one that’s 9 months younger than Fox). It makes me sad for Fox that she constantly has her phone or camera shoved in his face.
Her whole approach postpartum upset me, and when I had my second child I actually struggled with my body image after everything she bangs on about, I’m actually probably the same size as Sarah without photoshop, and you guys helped me to realise that she photoshops everything to make herself look perfect... end result is, that I’ve now unfollowed her and I know how messed up her mentality is.
