As for continuing to try to lose weight, Platten, 43, had this to say: “F— it.”

“I’m not waiting to approve of myself when I’m thinner,” Platten continued, sharing she plans to “give away those jeans I’ve been waiting to fit into again and just buy some bigger ones and love what I’m working with.”

“I am over the number on the scale it does not mean anything. I am focused on strength, function and power. Strong women of all sizes are beautiful. 💪 ❤️💪” wrote one fan, while another said, “Ohhh Rachel. I feel this so deeply. My 46 year old body is just not what she used to be… but I am done treating her like she is separate from me.”

Platten also shared to her Instagram stories a private message from someone who reflected on how the“dad bod”was seen as appealing — but “mom bods” need to be corrected.

“This this this,” commented Platten, who added, “Who will help us make the mom bod a thing?!!!”
