View Story"Many women feel the need to #snapback right away after they deliver. That was never the goal for me," she continued. "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," the "Sister, Sister" star went on to add. "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."
"Do not fold to societal pressures," Mowry advised. "After hard work with just diet and exercise, today I'm closer to my goal. 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."
