“I look at my children and I am thrilled that my body will never be the same after having them,” the mother of three said. “They were worth it!”
Moakler went on to tell readers that she’d “rather be called Shanna porker and be a healthy average WOMAN, th[a]n do what most do, to get that thin.”
“Most ‘starlets’ have plastic surgery, they use pills, drugs, or they live in the gym for 4 to 6 hours a day,” she continued. “It took 9 months[;] it might take a year getting back!”
“Stop beating yourself up!! It will all go back!!” she proudly finished.
