Anne Hathaway Gets Real About the Pressure to "Snap Back" After Having a Baby
Quote from Oladosun Joshua Segun on September 22, 2023, 12:25 AMIn a recent interview, actress Anne Hathaway opened up about her experience of becoming a mother for the second time and how she embraced her changing body. She revealed that she did not feel any pressure to lose weight or regain her pre-pregnancy shape after giving birth to her son, Jack, in 2019. Instead, she focused on nurturing herself and her baby, and accepting her body as it is.
Hathaway said that she wanted to share her story to inspire other women who might be struggling with unrealistic expectations or negative self-image after having a child. She said that she learned to appreciate her body for what it can do, rather than how it looks. She also encouraged women to be kind and compassionate to themselves, and to seek support from their loved ones and professionals if needed.
She said, "Let your body be a body. It's an amazing thing. It grew a human being. It's incredible. Don't judge it, don't criticize it, just take care of yourself. And take care of your baby. And take care of your mental health. And take care of your physical health. And take care of your emotional health. And take care of your spiritual health. And take care of your social health. And take care of your environmental health. And take care of your community health. And take care of your global health. And take care of your cosmic health. And take care of your divine health. And take care of your eternal health."
Hathaway added that she hopes that by speaking out, she can help create a more positive and inclusive culture around motherhood and body image. She said that she believes that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and confident in her own skin, regardless of her size, shape, age, or stage of life.
