"I just wanted to show that how I stand, whether I'm flexing & what light I'm in either highlights my excess belly skin or hides it!
"And I don't mind either way which is why I post both."

"I grew a human in this belly & the whole process into motherhood has made me SO much stronger and also so much more confident in myself and my body.
"I couldn't care less whether the stretched skin stays or goes! It's such an insignificant thing in my eyes."

Many praised Emily's honesty, with one person commenting: "I love this! As a mother of three and loving being fit, this is so inspiring. Respect to you. You are beautiful."
