AceShowbiz - Rachel Platten, known for her empowering anthem "Fight Song," has taken to Instagram to share her frustrations and experiences with postpartum weight loss. In a heartfelt message posted on October 21, the 43-year-old mother of two discussed the societal pressures to return to pre-baby weight.

"Note to self - and anyone else who needs it. I am not less worthy of love just because I can't seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of 'baby weight.' I've tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance," Platten wrote.

Platten, who has daughters Sophie Jo, 3, and Violet Skye, 5, with husband Kevin Lazan, continued, "I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weights and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life."

She added that she is "honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking [herself] back to pre-baby weight" and has chosen to embrace her body as it is. "F*** it," she wrote, underscoring her resolve to approve of herself without the condition of being thinner.

The "Girls" singer revealed her plans to give away the jeans she has been waiting to fit into and to purchase new clothes that fit her current body. Her message resonated deeply with her followers, who filled her comments with messages of support and the flexing emoji she requested in her caption, "Can't we just love ourselves as we are?! Enough of this already. Give me a 💪🏽 if you're with me."

Platten's post touches on a larger societal issue where "mom bods" are often scrutinized, unlike "dad bods," which have gained some acceptance. Platten highlighted this disparity through a message shared on her Instagram stories, questioning why "mom bods" are not seen as appealing despite the incredible feat of growing and birthing a child.

Platten's query, "Who will help us make the mom bod a thing?!!!" resonates with many women who share her experience.

Rachel Platten's openness extended to her struggles with postpartum anxiety, which she candidly described on social media. After the birth of her second daughter, Sophie Jo, in September 2021, Platten shared her mental health challenges and the support systems she relies on, including breath work, meditation, exercise, and therapy.

As Platten gears up for the release of her fifth studio album, "I Am Rachel Platten," she remains an advocate for self-love and body positivity. Her journey and her willingness to share her struggles serve as an inspiration to many, encouraging women to celebrate their strength and embrace their bodies as they are.
