Empowering Post-Baby Weight Message in Instagram Post by Pop Star
Her perspective on the scale is something we all need to hear.
Let’s be real—who doesn’t love a celebrity mom who keeps it real? Meet our favorite superstar, Jamie, who proves time and again that she’s a total force of nature. Known for her fierce attitude, she’s not here for the mom shaming or any silly standards about body image. And now, she’s calling out the ridiculous “norms” around weight.
You might want to pay attention to this!
Jamie recently took to Instagram to share a stunning photo of herself rocking some workout gear. The singer and mother to five-year-old Bella and baby Charlie, who arrived right after the holidays, is hitting the gym looking incredibly fit. With muscles that could rival a superhero, it’s hard to fathom that she ever questions herself. Yet, like many women, she grapples with the harmful societal messages about what she “should” weigh based on her height.
Her caption, which I love so much I might just print it out and hang it on my wall, says, “Would you believe I’m 160 pounds and 5’3”? By ‘regular standards,’ that makes me obese. I know I’m not at my goal or even close after Baby 2, but honestly, I don’t feel obese. I just feel like myself. Ladies, ditch the scale!”
Yes, we believe her, because so many of us can relate! But we often hold back from embracing our truth, conditioned to think those numbers mean something negative despite all evidence to the contrary. Just look at this beautiful, strong woman who had a baby only three months ago. Who could possibly focus on a number when faced with such vitality?
A doctor, perhaps?
We have the medical community and the CDC’s BMI calculator to thank for the negative feelings many of us have when those figures suggest we’re overweight, even when we look and feel fantastic. Jamie’s point about being labeled “obese” comes from those pesky standards that don’t account for muscle mass versus fat.
Forget the numbers! A fit person can weigh significantly more than the BMI guidelines might indicate, which is just absurd. Trust me, I know this all too well.
Just like Jamie, I work out a lot. With five to six sessions a week—including weight training, sprinting, and kickboxing—I’m in the best shape of my life. My mirror reflects a fit version of me, not a fat one. Then I plug my stats into that dreaded BMI calculator and want to weep into my smoothie bowl.
That’s why Jamie’s message resonates so deeply. By being transparent about her weight, she is uplifting women like me who may flinch at what the scale says but feel empowered by their fit appearance. Weight matters to an extent, yes, but there’s a whole world beyond those numbers.
Hats off to Jamie for speaking out and reminding us “obese” women that we’re not alone in this struggle.
