To celebrate Maternal Mental Health awareness week, I am giving away my book "Stretched: A mother's journey to love her 'flaws' & how you can too"
Through the book I share my own struggles with my body after babies and how I made peace with my mum bod. In research I did a survey and out of 100 mothers the results were truly shocking and heart breaking. Here are some. 68% of mothers felt pressured to diet and/or exercise after they'd given birth |
We live in a world that is obsessed with being slim and idolises a certain size or shape, there are so many pressures a new mother faces, if we could learn to find self love and accept our bodies 'flaws' and all then there would be one less thing to worry about.
I didn't realise how my mental health was affected by the way I looked and how dangerous some of the diets were for me at the time. I share my journey and leave myself vulnerable because I hope that I can stop other women making the same mistakes that I have.

Ana Louise Bonasera is a mother of four boys, Confidence & Clarity coach and author of "Stretched: A mother's journey to love her 'flaws' & how you can too"
After hating her body for the majority of her life, when she became a mother at 20 years old she found herself wishing for they physique she had spent so long mentally and physically abusing. When she fell pregnant just 9 months later with twins her obsession with dieting grew. As a new mother to three young boys the pressure to loose weight and get her "pre baby body back" was immense. She spent the next few years unhappy no matter how much weight she lost, constantly comparing herself to others, hiding her "flaws" and feeling less unworthy because of them. Now she shares her journey in her book "Stretched" and she found self love, body confidence and true happiness. |
