    I had ONE baby and haven’t let go of the 40lbs I gained from him , your ability to stay as thin as you were pre babies after 5… is like superhuman. You look SO good rachelle.

    Body dysmorphia is so real. I am 5’7 and weigh 130. I feel absolutely disgusting in my body. I don’t like going out on date night with husband anymore bc I struggle. I hope we both can overcome these thoughts. My thoughts are with you. You’re beautiful

    You look great Rachelle! Don’t be hard on yourself, your body has brought amazing little humans into the world. Our bodies change as we age and we just have to love the body we’re in, it’s the only one we’ve got.

    One thing I’ve learned in my 65 years on earth is the female body is constantly changing! So try not to get too used to any one ‘look’ b/c before you know it the next phase will hit and the body changes again. BTW, I echo everyone else in saying, to me, you look awesome!!

    Miss Rachelle!!! I am so glad you talked a little about that struggle!! I felt like I was alone when it happened to me. It was after my 5th baby (4 living) and no more babies….. I hated pictures. I just hated clothes,mirrors,my hair. Just everything. I struggled a bit knowing that it was my last pregnancy I guess. I took 1 day a week which was hard in itself because let’s get real…. Having 4 kids it’s hard once a month to get away but… with support of my husband I made it happen. I just took that 1 day for myself a week. Some times it was only a hour and other times it was a few hours. I got my hair done. I bought myself a new outfit. Sometimes I just walked the park thinking. Do whatever makes you! Do something for yourself. You got this my friend 💗💗

    My favorite sound in the world is children playing and laughing. Thank you for sharing your family with us. I was 29 when I had my last daughter and had a very hard time with post partum depression which just added more anxiety and isolation. Im glad you are talking about it. Dont keep it in that only makes it worse!!

    I am not married or had kids, but at I can tell you that lately I have been struggling. Like to grow older is a gift not everyone gets to, and I understand that but I’ve started seeing changes in my face And feel myself being hard on myself as well just not being happy. I feel like I’ve always struggled with body image in a way, but the last few months I’ve definitely noticed it more. You’re not alone. You are also beautiful and don’t believe anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.

    I love having flowers around the house. Like you, I buy them from a market and use lovely greenery from my garden. I've even made bouquets for friend's.
    Your garden is so lovely. You and Justin have added so much value to the house. That is amazing, especially in Los Angeles, where house prices are so high now. "Teamwork makes the dream work" really applies to you.

    Girl!!, you look absolutely AMAZING!!! and remind yourself what amazing miraculous things your body has done and gone through and blessed you with ❤❤….i and my last baby fifteen (almost 16 years ago) and I still beat myself up over the way my stomach looks! I had three babies (two vaginal, one c section) and my stretch marks are terrible still to this day and I have the loose skin that I’ve tried very hard to tighten but there’s nothing I can do about it but surgery! lol and that’s not happening also I have muscle separation in my abdomen as well so it causes my stomach to look bloated and even appear as if I look four months pregnant at time’s especially after I eat a meal! But I’ve learned to accept it because my body has given me the greatest gifts in life! My three most amazing most beautiful children and I thank God for them each and every day of my life! They’re the best thing I’ve ever done! Rachelle…just know….you look stunning! Absolutely gorgeous…there’s nothing at all to feel insecure about…I promise you! ❤❤❤

    I definitely felt like that about my body at different stages. I felt sad after I was done having kids, but eventually learned to love my different body, feeling thankful it allowed me to have my children. Then, when I started perimenopause in my late 30’s, early 40’s, I felt that way again, like I just don’t know my body. It takes awhile but you’ll learn to let go of the grief of change and be thankful for the new stage. Hang in there.

    I think most women struggle with how our bodies look 😞 especially after having children. I have three wonderful kids and my youngest is now about to be 15 😱 I still struggle and especially now in menopause your body changes again and I look back and think why did I not like how it was back then when my kids were young. We are so harsh on ourselves and I hate that most of us feel this way. I have hardly any photos of myself and I’m sad about that now as I get older because my kids won’t have many of me to look back on. You look beautiful as always 🩷

    Lovely Rachelle. Embrace every beautiful thing about yourself everyday. At my 51 years (happy but fuller and a bit wrinkly), I look back at my 30 Yr old self and think, wow, what was I worried about?.
    I went back and forth with my hair colour. Although both dark and blonde suited me. There is something about having a bit of blonde in your hair that lifts some people. Maybe try a few highlights and dancing or pilates few 15 mins a day ( with the kiddos if need be) makes me smile. God Bless. Ask God to give you this peace. Love uk. ❤️

    Rachelle, I have had body dysmorphia since I was a child. I was a FAT baby, and it just went on from there. My mother struggled with this also. I remember being only 8, and being put on diet pills from the doctor. Pretty sad that my roller coaster with weight started at such a tender age. All of these issues followed me into adulthood. I have been on every diet out there. I even had a gastric bypass in my 40's. I gave birth to only sons, so at least I didn't pass this on to a daughter. Now, at 65, I suffer with severe spinal stenosis, and arthritis in my knees. I'm scheduled for my third spinal fusion in May. I hope and pray that you can feel better about your body soon. I know that you eat healthy. Maybe seek out a Christian counselor to help you. Please don't let it last decades like my body dysmorphia has! You are beautiful and look the perfect size to me! I really miss seeing the children, but I totally understand how you are protecting their privacy. The boys look SO tall now! I especially miss watching Faye grow, and seeing her beautiful little face. And gorgeous Emma, with her beautiful red curls! I love your sweet family! Mister and Pepper are both so sweet. My oldest senior kitty, Tako, just died this past week. He was 16 years and 10 months old! I'm very sad and I miss him so much. Have a Happy Easter!🙏🌷🪻✝️🐇🐣🐦

    I've always struggled with my image... I got ill when I hit puberty and before that I was a ballet dancer in very good shape and very happy with myself... After my illness combined with puberty I had to stop dancing and gained some weight... I went through depression and cut my hair and dyed it a bunch and tried all sorts to feel like myself and nothing worked... When I recovered about 10 years later I was very thin and honestly felt good with my appearance because I looked very similar to my pre illness self (although I was a child then and an adult now) then I had 2 miscarriages and my daughter who was a very symptomatic and traumatic pregnancy and birth... Went back into identity crisis and cut my hair again... I'm a lot heavier than I was before pregnancies and feel like a shell of myself again... I'm growing out my hair hoping that helps but the weight loss is hard because of my disabilities... I've experimented with my style a bit and feel better with my clothes but my body isn't what it used to be at all... I have a diastasis recti so I look about 37 weeks pregnant... I also have the c-section overhang and my whole bump was covered in stretch marks so although faded they're still there... My belly button also still sticks out... It's hard... I'm sure I'll get there though... She's 3 in May and I feel like I wanted to look better by now

    I think you look fantastic but I get it--- I'm struggling with it big time--I've had 1 live birth but 9 pregnancies and I've been doing IVF for almost 2 years and I've gained 20lbs through that process. I wasn't back to my pre-pregnancy weight from my daughter either so that makes it harder.... No matter what I do I just keep adding weight on I'm guessing from all the hormones--- I'm trying not to care but it's super hard. I'm going into FET number 5 next week and will be putting 2 in for the 1st time and just hoping at least 1 sticks for the long haul.

Yes, additionally, I drink 64 ounces of fluids per day. It has been a live saver for me.
