Emily Skyeis proving her haters wrong after a year of hard work in the gym.
Once shetook the time to commit to a fitness routine and healthy eating, Skye was able to defy their claims and is now showing off her progress in a video of her body at 3 months postpartum and a year later, at 15 months.
“BABIES DO NOT RUIN YOUR BODY — it may be different but it’s still amazing, beautiful & strong! 🙌🏼” she said.
“I was in no rush to get my fitness back, it took over a year, & a LOT of work — but I got there & I feel the best I’ve ever felt,” Skye continued. “Nothing beats feeling healthy, strong, fit, confident & happy! 🙌🏼”
The mom of two emphasized thatshe still appreciated her body at 3 months postpartum, and encouraged other new moms to do the same.
“The important thing is loving yourself along the way in ALL stages of your journey 🤍,” she said. “Just because you want to be ‘stronger, fitter or healthier’ doesn’t mean you can’t love your body along the way. I train BECAUSE I love it — not because I hate it. 💕😘”

Skye told PEOPLE in Oct. 2020, at four months postpartum, that she gained a “new appreciation” for her body aftershe unexpectedly delivered Izaac at homewithout medication.
And Skye, who has been open aboutstruggling with depression and disordered eating as a teenager, added that her body image has only improved as time goes on.
“All through my 20s, I didn’t like the way I looked, and I hated my body,” she said. “I’ve also got a daughter, and I don’t want her to ever feel those feelings, so I was like, I’ve got to change. I feel like I’m just getting better and better with self love and acceptance. It doesn’t mean I don’t ever look in the mirror and say ‘ugh cellulite.’ I notice it, but then I remember what I’ve done.”
