“It’s really important to be kind and patient with ourselves when we are trying to adapt to a new version of our bodies. Being selective in what social media accounts we follow and what content we consume is really important in reshaping what we perceive as normal and acceptable. A great thing you can pro-actively do is curate your social media feed to make sure you are seeing images of real bodies on a regular basis – especially focussing on content from body positive sources and new mothers with realistic, unfiltered images. And also, don’t be afraid to unfollow accounts that have a negative effect or make you feel worse about yourself.”
