Brittany Cartwright has started her weight loss journey, and by the looks of it, she means business.
‘Vanderpump Rules’: Brittany Cartwright Shares Her Weight Loss Journey Following Her Pregnancy
The former star of Vanderpump Rules recently welcomed the arrival of her son in April. While she was delighted by the news, the toils of motherhood took their toll as she began to neglect her own appearance. But given that she has adjusted her life around her son, and gotten used to it, Brittany is now ready to shed those pounds.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Brittany shared a picture of herself taking a selfie in front of the mirror in the gym. She has a huge grin on her face. The post was captioned by the following comments: “Every story is different and this is mine. I’m going to be in here every single day. (Maybe one day off lol.) #postpartumweightlossjourney.”
One of the reasons why Brittany decided to hit the gym was in response to the comments she was getting on social media. She was very vocal about how her confidence took a beating, given that she was being compared to other celebrities who had just given birth.
Naturally, she felt she could not live up to those high standards, and as a result, it made her feel unworthy. In a previous interview with Us Weekly, Brittany confirmed how she became a victim of body shaming. She stated: “I got so many mean comments about what my weight gain was. I was being heavily compared to Stassi [Schroeder] and Scheana [Shay] and Lala [Kent].”
Things were not helped by the pandemic too. Brittany realised that she was spending more time at home, so she began to ponder over her body even more. Social media became more prominent in her life, and she admitted to actually breaking down. There were real concerns that her mental health could have become damaged.
She added: “I was in [coronavirus] quarantine, I was home, so I was looking at my phone more than I should have. There were times when it made me ashamed of how I looked.” With Brittany having taken steps to address her weight, there is every chance she can return to her usual self.
