Mom of three Jerika Ejercito is in no rush to “bounce back” to her pre-pregnancy body after giving birth to her twins. She is taking her sweet time to get fit, while taking care of her three beautiful and healthy boys.

 

this time i decided that things will be different. that i will make sure to take my time. that there is no need to “bounce back”. to love my body at every stage in my life. this body produced 3 amazing , healthy boys. and this body deserves to be loved and accepted by none other than myself. (btw, my husband does not seem to notice the weight gain and is blinded by his unconditional love???? his love is definitely a strong driving force in my life????).. please know that i have high respect for those momma’s who are naturally blessed with amazing genes! you women, rock! and thank you for serving as an inspiration. .. but this moment in my life is NOT about me, it’s not about how I lose the baby weight, it’s not how i am suppose to look. it’s about my boys, their need to feel loved at all times, their need for attention and their need to be nurtured. .. ps. this week is my first week back at the gym and yes, i’ve got a lot of work to do and that’s ok. it took my body 9 months to grow not one but TWO healthy boys! i’ve got the battle scars and giggly parts to show for! and i am sure as hell proud of it! #motheroftwins #motherhood #throwback #28weekspregnant ???? @miquelaguilar1978

The proud momma who recently got back to the gym has learned to love her body at every stage of her life, “This body deserves to be loved and accepted by none other than myself.”

Although she’s driven to lose her pregnancy weight, Jerika points out that giving her love, attention, and nurturing power to her boys comes first.

“This moment in my life is NOT about me, it’s not about how I lose the baby weight, it’s not how I am supposed to look. It’s about my boys,” she said in her Instagram post.

She is thankful to her Spanish husband Miquel Aguilar for his unconditional love as well as to other moms who are naturally blessed with good genes because they give her a dose of inspiration.

Jerika is making sure that she’s kind to herself while losing those extra pounds since it also took her nine months to carry her babies. As for her battle scars, “I am sure a shell proud of it!”
