Tia Mowry, the actress, mother, wife and twin to Tamera Mowry has always been fly. “The Game” and “The Real” talk show star just revealed some more photos of her embracing her gray hair. This has been a year-long process after her a 68-pound weight-loss transformation. The actress posted a picture of herself slim and trim with a lengthy caption about her weight loss progress after giving birth to her daughter Cairo in 2018.
The post-partum picture gives way to a bigger issue going on in the world of moms: body-shaming after pregnancy. It seems as though in this time of the “insta-generation” everything has to be now: my movies, my career, and even your snapback, post-baby body.
Mowry took this head-on when she posted on social media.
“To all the women who are feeling pressured after birth. Do YOU! Do what makes YOU proud and do it in YOUR time. Not anyone else’s,” she wrote.
“I’ve lost to date 68 pounds since giving birth to my daughter,” she continued. “I’m very proud that I did it my way and in my time. I didn’t feel rushed to snap back. I enjoyed breastfeeding and spending quality time with #cairo and my son #cree,” wrote Mowry on her Instagram.
The 42-year-old actor, who also rocked a few gray curls in her pic, went on to remind new moms to ignore the pressure to lose pregnancy weight quickly.
“I was called #fat during my #pregnancy and I was called #fat after my #pregnancy. Why do we do this to each other? Instead of #love one another other? I will never understand that. I intentionally documented my journey and became vulnerable to show #women that it’s okay to go at your own pace, it is okay to love yourself no matter where you are in your journey,” she wrote.
“After hard work with just diet and exercise, today I’m closer to my goal,” she wrote. “Do I have loose skin and stretch marks? YES. Guess what?? I LOVE all me and I want you to love all of you too.”
