    I heard a quote this week and I wrote it down for myself to ponder: "The best weight you'll ever lose is the weight of other people's opinions."

    Zac is such a great husband he really supports Tori and builds her up. I noticed whenever Tori is self deprecating Zack is always telling her not to think that way but he never discounts her feelings. When he said if Lilah grew up to be like Tori. It was so cute.

      I totally agree with this! I am so much happier with myself now at 46 as a grandmother than I ever was in my 20s! Lord I was hard on myself as a young adult! I am constantly telling my daughters that they are beautiful at all their stages of life because of what they accomplished not what they necessarily look like.

      Me too. I work out because I love it not for weight loss. I was going to get a tummy tuck and arm flaps off and he said then would you be happy with yourself then. He loved me the way I was. And he was short like zach. ( 5 feet ) and so I thought I have to be happy so each am I look in the mirror and say for a 70 year old you r looking good

    Women on social media need to be more real. I am 60 and I can’t imagine being a young mom and see them curling their hair and putting on make up during or after birth. I just did good to survive. It blows my mind watching these new moms looking like models and perfection. You are so naturally beautiful and I love to see real moms. Thankful for being so real and honest. You are amazing and normal women see you❤❤❤

    • @sharonhanson5384
      @sharonhanson5384 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think Tori is using her podcast as a bitch session. Maybe she is not mature enough to deal with having stair step pregnancies & all being dwarfs. She said she did not eat a good diet while pregnant & is now struggling with losing weight. I don't think she is a happy person & is moody & is not mature enough to deal with these issues. I think she compares herself to other women. She talked about putting in the work & everything to her is "terrifying". How would she handle working full time? She whines, complains & uses this platform to air her grievances. Sometimes life isn't fair, but we deal with our problems as best we can. She needs to let Zack talk more & stop constantly interrupting! He seems to be the voice of reason. Take baby steps to get where you want to go & be appreciative of what you have. 😅

      Wow Sharon/Karen, you must know her well. Oh, that’s right, you’ve never actually had a conversation with her. Don’t presume you know what is in a stranger’s head and also…..ever heard the saying, those in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks? Looking at you.

      I disagree about surgery. I think if you can afford it and that’s will make you feel better, then do it! Do it while you are young. Do want you want. You don’t need anyone opinion but Zack's.

    Thank you for doing this video. I have a 13 year old granddaughter who is struggling with body images. She refuses to wear shorts because she feels she doesn't look good in them. It's extremely hot out and she wants to wear sweat pants. Love the idea of telling her she's beautiful at anytime instead of when she dresses up.

    • @AlisaBeel-mo4oh
      @AlisaBeel-mo4oh 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      13 is such a hard age because of body changes. Encourage her to try other styles. I have more hips (I’m 26 now) but I love high waisted jeans and they flatter me more. Help her find a style that she feels good about and likes herself in. Love on her and maybe spend time out doing something she loves or go shopping. My gma used to take me shopping to try on clothes and hype her up! If something looks good on her “ girl look at you, do a spin “ just encourage her and help her see she is beautiful no matter her size

    As a 60 + year old woman, embrace your beauty as you age. Your are beautiful, Tori! It is a privilege our bodies birthed our children and doing our best to stay healthy is enough. Zach is so proud of you just as you are here and now. Our bodies continue to change into our later years into post menopause and it will change again but I am so honoured and grateful to grow old and enjoy family and friends and all the love surrounding me

    CONGRATULATIONS on completing the 1/2 marathon. What an accomplishment! Be kind and gentle on yourself. You talk about "this is the season of life we are in" so just know things will change. I am almost 64 and have never been very confident in my looks. U til I got breast cancer at 40. I have learned God made me how I am supposed to be. My husband loves me. I am a good person. That's what matters. Hope you all feel better. 💖

    Hey Tori I’ve had 6 kiddos 2 miscarriages and it took me so long to figure out that I had diastasis recti and that is why I wasn’t bouncing back with my last couple pregnancies like I did with the others and I was actually doing exercises that were making it worse instead of better, it’s been three years since my last baby. I’m still working on it, doing diastasis recti specific has been so helpful and my core is getting stronger and my back as well. I feel like as women we have to really embrace all our post pregnancy bodies and aging and just focus on physical and mental health. Comparison is such a thief of joy. I think we all can find ourselves in that trap so easily. We wouldn’t want our kids to compare themselves to others because it’s all our differences that make us beautiful individuals in our own right. Amen to showing is the most powerful part of teaching!! I see it with all my kids and I always remind myself of . Love you guys ❤

  • @kristiericson1365

    I’ve had seven children. The pregnancies were awful. The labor and deliveries were abnormal for five of the seven. You are right. Cesareans definitely make it a lot more difficult to ‘bounce back’. But, you never bounce back. Your breasts are changed, your abdomen is changed, your bladder is changed.
    I had children during a time when people didn’t understand postpartum depression as well. I felt ashamed, guilty, stupid…. It is ridiculous how we punish ourselves and others with unspoken expectations.
    You are doing an incredible job!! ❤

  • @klgirard
    @klgirard 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Look into pelvic floor therapy for the diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles). Certain ab exercises can make it worse (I think crunches are one). So a pelvic floor therapist can help you find the right exercises to help your specific situation. Hope this helps!!

Because there is so much that is fake on social media, it's a relief to see someone real.

    You are so correct about the comments on social media. People can be so harsh. Everyones pregnancy is different, but I also can relate to your situation. I had 4 cesareans. It's true your abdomen muscles separate and my doctor told me the only true way to correct is surgery because they have to lace those muscles back together. I chose not to for financial and scar reasons. It's a long journey but you can be fit like walking or just living a fitness life. Its been 10 years now. Sometimes, I'm still not comfortable but like you say we are perfect regardless. Surgery doesn't have to be the answer. And you are just fine the way you are.🎉🎉🎉

U gals have it so much harder. The number one thing woman have to realize is my genetics is not urs. Everyone's body type is different. A friend of mine once mentioned gastric sleeve & I told her NO I'm going to do it the old fashion way. 2 1/2 mos ago I started back at the gym 3 days a week. I don't just want to look good, I want to build muscle & strengthen my body. Everyone do u & just be healthy mind body & soul not just fit...🏃‍♀️🏋‍♀️

    1st. Boys get messed with or have bad things happen at sleepovers to. Always listen to that momma gut, even if it doesn't make sense. 2nd. People are suppose to age. Your not going to look exactly like you did when you got married or were a teen. Its hard for sure (I'm in late 40s and wish we could) but try to be as healthy as you can. That should be everyone's goal. HEALTH. not looking like someone else, not keeping up with the latest whomever. Most of the people that are chasing looks or a certain body are not the healthiest in their minds & hearts. You both seem very grounded in The Lord and family, keep your focus there. That is what brings true joy. And honestly your beautiful Tori. Because you seem to have a honest heart and love truth and your family. Not because your body is X amount smaller, or your tummy is flatter. Great podcast guys!

    I love you guys. Tori, you’re an amazing role model!
    I hate it when people use filters. So fake. But now it has me thinking, how about the photo retouching on school photos?? Hope that is ok. I usually select that for my kids, especially when they started getting acne.
    Keep it up Tori…. You WILL reach your goal and feel great about it! Who wants to look like they did in high school anyway?! I was a stick!

    Very encouraged listening to this! I loved how you talked about what is it teaching Lilah. And have you put in the work for what you want? I’ve been really discouraged about a few things but have not put in the amount of work I should before I walk away. ❤

  • @kristirenee1789
    @kristirenee1789 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You were definitely right about most women comparing themselves to other women!!!! Especially after giving birth because we’re always self conscious about how much weight we’ve gained and how fast we can get it off. Everything you have said was so validating because it was all the truth……your truth!!!!!! Please don’t be discouraged by not being the same weight you were before having kids, because you aren’t the person you were before having kids!!!!!!! I’m 42 and I’ve had a kid at 27 and I gained a ton of weight and was so upset with myself how long it took to lose the weight but now I have 4 step children and I’m raising my step-grandchild and I’m probably back at my high school weight…. So never say never about getting back long after your kids grow up!!!!! Love your podcast, family and relationship!!!!!!

    I have so many comments, but I love you Tori! You’re the best, and I feel so much the same as you. The one thing when you said that “all that matters of your kids look good, then it doesn’t matter what you look like,” which I have dealt so many times. The film interview days, when you just can’t even, and it’s blown and Zach had to take the lead & send everyone home after…..I relate so much. I’m not on tv, but do have important events scheduled at the house (family gathering or whatever), and have literally can’t even do…my husband will handle the ranks and supported me. It still sucks, but solidarity is key. Solidarity sister!

    Tori you are so real. Love watching you and Zack. Keep it up and listen to the positive reviews. Ps. You do not talk that much. When Zack talks it is enlightening and you are the one who has the major role in the house hold. I know Zack does plenty around the home but there is definitely roles for mom’s and dad’s. So keep going and continue to be real. Go bless your family.

    Tori you look amazing. You have had 3 babies. Our bodies change and we need to give ourselves more grace. Today is my 70th birthday and I have worried about my weight most of my adult life. Now I know at my age that I am grateful for my good health. Weight isn’t as important.

  • @daleclark8872

    Great podcast. Food for thought: when an elderly lady was asked what she would do differently if she could go back in time, and she said “I would spend less time focusing on my weight/looks, and spend more time focusing on helping others”. I am 74 years old and still trying to lose 20 pounds. Why in the world are we so obsessed with how we look? Of course we want to be healthy…but my extra 20 pounds isn’t going to make or break me. I wonder if our grandmothers were ever obsessed with how they looked. I think it’s social media and TV that drives us these days. We must remember that beauty comes from within. 🙏❤️🙏

    I wanna just say I have been following Zach from the little people big world show and have been following the journey you guys have been through from the show and I have enjoyed watching your podcasts from the beginning, I enjoy how open and honest you guys try to be and how cute your adorable family is, thanks for bringing awareness to dwarfism, If that is even the correct terminology. Thanks for opening up about real life stuff and for being 100% real and open with us about life, marriage, having kids and blessing the internet with a breath of fresh air with you two and your lovely family. I can relate to you guys as I have 3 kids ranging from 8yr old, 4yr old and 2yr old. I’m a daycare teacher so I can totally relate to you Tori in the loving to teach kids as a job. I Quit my job of 10 years and now homeschool my oldest and I absolutely enjoy it.

    Tori your looking lovely, I’m 61 and when I was 50 I had a tummy tuck which I actually regret , it made me look at the rest of myself to see what else I didn’t like about me instead of appreciating myself for who I am, I now am loving myself more and more so if you can avoid surgery and just keep doing what your doing you will probably love and appreciate were your at with how you look ❤️

    I’m in my late 50’s. In high school and my 20’s I always felt I was over weight. Not skinny like others.
    I recently went through photos and found me back then see myself, I was not overweight, I was not a size 5. I would love to look that way now.
    I’m with you it’s not reality after having kids. But just the thought I had of me back then as being fat.
    You look great and all that matters is love yourself. I wish I knew that advice you remember Amy said about Molly.

  • @TrinityWon-j3m

    Tori, ignore the ding-a-lings that say you do all the talking. In a marriage, it can happen that one spouse is either outgoing or introverted. If you work out any situations that might come up, personally I think you’ll find that, as a couple, you complement each other ❤❤. Life would be rather dull if a married couple’s personalities were the same…you’d drive each other crazy 🤪🥰. My husband is definitely outgoing and super friendly, I’m shy, but his being that way helps me come out of my shell. 😊 You and Zach make a wonderful couple🕊️…. May the Bless and Keep You All 🕊️🥰

I not sure why I wore it while I was working...I'm just how GOD made me. It was so nice when Zach said he wants your daughter to be just like you!! Way to go Zach! I love how you look like Tori she is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you for this conversation I very much appreciated it Tori.

    I am not totally at peace with my image, but saying that I have stopped comparing myself with others. When I work out I compete with my last best push-up, my last longest plank. If I compare with others I am chasing an elusive goal. Just do you, and be at peace with who you are

  • @rebeccahayhurst442

    Zach is such a sweet husband in really hearing Tori with her struggles with pregnancies, and our post natal bodies and healing. When he said he was really proud of her for going through 4 pregnancies on reality tv I thought it was really touching. I can’t imagine having to do that with the five pregnancies I went through with my five sons. I think the comments and pressure is emotionally scarring and there’s a lot of pain and insecurity there for Tori. Our society can be very cruel to women for experiencing normal changes in our body because of pregnancy and the demands of raising children and not having time and energy to look like super models.

    Mommy makeover is a personal opinion. We all want to feel confident and I’m all for us to feel our best! Whatever it takes to look in the mirror and be happy with what you see. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad or shame you! I had a neck surgery and gained 47 lbs I felt horrible I hated what I saw in the mirror. People said I looked good but it’s what we feel inside. I got help and lost the weight and have my confidence back. You’re a rockstar and beautiful and you should do what ever will make you happy!

    11 years after kids I finally had muscle repair surgery and it was the best decision I ever made. Not only physically but I am pain free now. No back pain, period cramps are gone, no feeling like I can’t not hold it if I have to pee. It’s amazing. My outlook was I’m not even 40 yet I don’t want to hate my body forever.

    Tori, you're still young and just off having three babies. I would leave it a bit. Don't rush into surgery if you don't have to. Your body will change in the next 5 years. Just my thoughts because you look good right now.

    I never watched LPBW and came across your podcast by accident but I am happy because I discovered two beautiful humans.
    Tori : IMO numbers , size or shape don’t count as long as you are healthy mentally and physically. You said it right. As long as you can keep up with your kids, that is what matters. ❤
    Zach : thumbs up 👍🏼 “I just want our daughter to be like you”. The way you compliment Tori is awesome 🤩.

Im 3 months post partem with my 3rd csection and i have always struggled with body image way before i ever got pregnant. I know for some women this doesn’t help but i just continue to remind myself that pregnancy is such a beautiful gift and si many would give anything to b in our positions.. regardless of how much weight they might gain! I love you guys so much and im actually currently watching LPBW reruns on hulu at the moment 😅 ur beautiful tori and such an amazing mommy!!!!🎉🎉

    Re: 31:56...i get calling out beauty in every day life, but If I spent extra time on my hair and make up..e.g..dance, prom, homecoming, wedding...and my mom & dad did not recognize my efforts to look special on a special occasion, I would be DEVASTATED.
