"I want to take a minute to clarify the context of feeling pressures as a new mother and breastfeeding in the @Editorialist article. When asked about getting back in shape after pregnancy I discussed the major pressures that are out there for new moms to 'snap back' right after having a baby," she wrote on Jan. 22, referencing an interview she gave to Editorialist a little over a year after she welcomed her daughter, Genevieve.

"I tried to push myself early to get back to the gym, eat perfectly and try to achieve this alleged 'snap back,'" she explained. "But, after realizing how ridiculous these pressures are I quickly gave myself some slack and lived in the moment as a new mother."

"... that those weight-loss pressures are extremely unnecessary, and I decided to turn my energy towards my family. Every mother’s experience is different with every baby. I’ve learned everyone’s journey is extremely personal and no two are the same," Upton noted.
