‘It was so depressing and I didn’t feel great about myself. I realised this was more than just baby weight and that I would have to start exercising regularly to shed the extra pounds.’

‘After the second one, I kind of knew what to expect, so I wasn’t as surprised or depressed. I knew I would just have to put in the work.’

‘After my fifth and sixth children, I just ran on the treadmill and did crunches’

‘I didn’t really become aware of body composition until after my seventh and final baby when I started my fitness account on Instagram.’

She recalled: ‘It was pretty intense, but my body changed pretty drastically in just a few months.’

‘For the past four months I’ve only been working out two to three days a week, and have been eating intuitively.’ 

Jessica’s advice to other mothers who are trying to lose weight is to start by making small changes.

Jessica constantly updates her 64,000 Instagram followers under the handle @jessicaenslow.

She added: ‘I still see flaws, but I love having balance with my family and other interests rather than spending hours at the gym to have a perfectly chiselled body and having no energy for anything else.’

‘I would say just start somewhere. It could be making positive changes in your diet or committing to a certain amount of exercise and sticking to it.’

‘That is what really got me inspired to get my fitness journey started. And getting ‘fit’ is not linear. There will always be fluctuations.

‘Realising that your weight or body composition has nothing to do with your worth as a person is vital.

‘Happiness cannot completely depend upon your physical appearance, so making sure to nourish yourself emotionally and spiritually is just as important, if not more important.’
