Brie Bella shows off postpartum 'treasure marks'
She shared a post in which she reflected on accepting her postpartum body.
Bella also wrote that while she has been hard at work trying to whip herself back into shape, she is being patient with her body, even though it's difficult at times.
\"After my second C section I’ve been really kicking my butt to get my abs back! And sooo is the saggy stomach which is normal after babies,\" the reality star expressed. \"Sometimes it’s hard for me to look in the mirror and see my body. I always tell myself to be kind and grateful but I’m human so picking myself apart happens.\"
She detailed that she hopes to bring encouragement to other new moms that every body is different -- while some people can reclaim their old figure right away, others take a while to get there.
\"You might see me at the pool in my one piece but I’m showing all of you that my treasure marks are something special,\" the former WWE star noted. \"They remind me of a special connection I got to share with my sweet babies for 9 months.\"
Brie also cheered on her followers, telling them, \"Instead of tearing yourself down, you build yourself up!\"
The reality star shares two children with husband Daniel Bryan, 3-year-old Birdie and 7-month-old Buddy.
