Stassi Schroeder shared her “OOTD.” But it has a story behind it. The Vanderpump Rules star admitted that she’s struggling with body issues. On Saturday, February 27, Stassi posted the selfie to her Instagram feed. The 32-year-old “thought it would be way easier to bounce back” after giving birth to her daughter, Hartford Charlie Rose.

Early last month, Stassi and Beau welcomed their first child together. Since then, the couple has been sharing a lot of photos and videos of their little one on their respective Instagram accounts.

The Next Level Basic author often wishes she could get back to her “pre-pregnant body” almost overnight. Stassi also admits that it’s also “f***ed up” that she’s “so obsessed with bouncing back” when she just gave birth a month ago. On January 7, Stassi gave birth to her first child. She revealed that her body issues “consume my thoughts about 97% of the day, and it is a major hole I struggle to dig myself out of.” 

She has received advice from some of her followers. They advised her to give herself some grace, but Stassi says she doesn’t know how. She feels bad for complaining about her body when she “was given the most perfect baby.” Stassi didn’t want to sound so vain, but she’s grateful that “lord shirt jackets are in.”

But motherhood also has its downsides. Stassi recently admitted her struggles with breastfeeding. On Sunday, January 31, she shared a selfie of herself trying to produce milk. While she has been eating oatmeal “every day,” “drinking all the water in the world,” and taking breast-feeding pills, it hasn’t worked. So, Stassi asked for help on which pumps produce more milk. She captioned the shot: “Postpartum life.”
