During a recent interview with ET Canada on Monday, November 7, Meghan Trainor talked about how she found herself in a “really dark place” last year after the birth of her son in February, 2021.
She explained that following the birth, she was at her heaviest weight.
I was my heaviest I’ve ever been. I was, like, over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn’t feeling great. I’ve never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place and I wanted to be in a great place for my son.
And even though it took some time, she slowly started to challenge herself. She started doing little workouts every day, telling herself that if she can go through a C-section, she can do a 30-minute workout.
I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off, like, one week at a time, one pound [at a time]. I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I’m just [feeling] better than ever.
Everyone’s journey after pregnancy is different, so no one should be reading this and comparing themselves to Trainor. We’re all just doing our best out here.
For those who don’t know, Trainor is married to ‘Spy Kids‘ actor Daryl Sabara. They started dating in July 2016 and got engaged a little over year later before saying “I do” in December 2018.
If you’d like to follow their journey, Trainor is very active on TikTok.
