Jools Oliver has defended herself after she was criticised for posting a photo showing she can “almost fit into a new pair of trousers.
Some followers said the image “pressurised” new mums to lose weight quickly after birth and that it was “unhelpful” for mums trying to lose weight.
Jools, 41, who gave birth to son River Rocket five weeks ago, responded to one critic with the message: ‘Honestly, it’s about the trousers! I didn’t even think about the weight.
She continued: ‘For God’s sake, I still have helps to lose as I said earlier, My t-shirt hides a lot.’
But the commenter was annoyed by Jools’s decision to show her figure: ‘Shouldn’t you be more concerned about bonding with your child rather than how quickly you fit back into your jeans? How is this supposed to help other women in the same situation who don’t snap back so quickly?’
