Jessie James Decker<\/strong><\/a> got candid about struggling to embrace her postpartum body.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis video is as raw and real as it gets,\u201d Decker, 38, captioned a reel of her physical transformation via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, June 14. \u201cI\u2019ve been anxious to share but here it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a naturally petite fit, could eat whatever I wanted and stay in shape kinda girl,\u201d Jessie, who shares four children<\/a> with husband Eric Decker<\/strong>, continued. \u201cSo when I got pregnant and gained over 55 pounds<\/a> almost every single time, and it didn\u2019t magically fall off afterward, I learned fast that I actually had to put in real effort and work my ass off to get back to where I wanted to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessie went on to say that she didn\u2019t \u201crecognize\u201d herself and felt \u201cuncomfortable\u201d in her clothes. \u201cI know what it\u2019s like to put in the work day after day, wonder if it\u2019s ever going to happen, and feel completely defeated. I\u2019ve had to do it four different times over a decade,\u201d she shared. \u201cBut settling has never been something I do very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

And feeling strong, energized, and confident is so important to me,\u201d she continued. \u201cFitness has always been a part of my life, but it took me a long time to find what I truly enjoyed and what kept me wanting to show up consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n
