The birth of a child was a serious test for Tess Holiday

"I'm at the limit," Tess Holliday confessed on her page in Instagram. Colorful model plus-size shared with the followers reflections on motherhood and the difficulties associated with combining work and parenting. 31-year-old Tess has a first-born, 11-year-old Riley, and eight months ago she gave birth to the son of Bowie, who "turned the familiar world".

Tess for a long time successfully combined care for newborns and fashion photosessions, but the most boring period of every baby came, Bowie began to cut the first teeth. The model terribly does not get enough sleep and complains of constant weakness and fatigue:

Today I do not sleep from 3 am or night? Because Bowie has an uneasy sleep, he wakes up every time I put him in the crib. His teeth are chopped and it does not matter to him that his mother has a full 15-hour working day tomorrow. I try not to lose heart, I drink my favorite coffee and I paint my lips with bright red lipstick, but this is all for the sake of the smile of the baby and loved ones, in fact, I am very tired and today everything is not so. I'm at the limit.

I'm at the limit ...

The model touched on a very important topic, close to each woman, so the revelation of Tess Holliday caused a lot of comments and words of support.

Now I'm writing and crying, I can not help myself, it lasts two hours. To be honest, I'm at the limit of my strength and capabilities. The birth of a child was a serious test for me and only now I realized why I'm so crushed. I experience great internal pressure from the installation always and everywhere to look good - it's hard. I have splashes of hormones, breastfeeding Bowie, lack of sleep, bags under the eyes from fatigue, facial skin and body with red spots and incredible weakness. I can not bring myself to get out of bed, how do other women cope with it?

On the Instagram model signed more than a million subscribers, so the question touched everyone who faced fatigue and tedious parental concerns.

I understand that I consciously chose a profession that requires constant control over the appearance and I try to match the image created. The desire for a beautiful and aesthetic motivates me, but this is not the main thing! For me, working in the beauty industry, it is important to find a balance between compassion and the pursuit of beauty. Does someone forgive you the negative, if you are tired, did not get enough sleep because of the child, and want to hide, cry out? Hardly ... I hope that in the course of time something will change in society and people will stop looking at people like me, like bad mothers. We try to keep our problems in ourselves and everything is bad, it's hard.
