Tamera On Loving Her Own Body
Tamera Mowry-Housley: I’m going through something personally, that maybe a lot of people don’t know about. I injured my back.
Jeannie Mai: Yeah.
Tamera: And it’s.. ugh, hurting your back, y’all..it’s rough… It’s… it’s tough, and the kind of injury that I had, it takes a long time to heal. And I hurt my back while picking up both my children at the same time.
Jeannie: Right.
Tamera: And for me you guys, after I had Aden, I was in the gym, like hard. I lost the weight, in… in my mind rather quickly, it took me 9 months to do so. But with Ariah I actually put on over 70 pounds… I enjoyed that pregnancy. And so did she. But it’s… its’s taking a long time to lose the weight that I want to lose because of the back injury and personally I’m going through that. I looked at old pictures of myself and I was like damn, there she is! That’s… that’s me. I feel like I’m stuck in… in this body, but I talked to Loni about it yesterday, and she brought both of my kids up to me and she said “Look at these two beautiful children.
[The Real Audience applauds]
Tamera: You focus on that, and the reason why… I don’t know why I am getting emotional about this… But the reason why I felt that way is because there are people who body shame you. But you know what, I was doing it to myself. I’m not going to put the blame on all the other people, if you love yourself, it doesn’t matter what anybody else says.
[The Real Audience applauds]
Tamera: You own that moment in time, and I’m going to lose the weight and get tone whenever I… ya know, whenever, I damn well please.
Jeannie: Yes!
[The Real Audience applauds]
Loni Love: But I also, yeah!
