Rufa is very open about her struggles with self-confidence, especially after she gave birth. “I’ve been insecure about my post partum body for a while, like when I gave birth, every day, around the 7th month after I gave birth….” she wrote in an Instagram post. “[E]very time I look [at] myself in the mirror I cry, that’s sad, I told myself, ‘Why is this, my arms are so big, my legs, why is my tummy deflated because the baby came out,” she continued. “I didn’t post when I gave birth because I was surprised by my size, a lot of people insulted me, said to get your body back…”
Rufa decided to take action. “Slowly, I have time to take care of myself,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m so tired of being sad every time I see myself in the mirror. So I realize I need to do something about it,” she wrote. She later added that “it wasn’t easy” getting back into shape and took “patience.”
“I eat everything,” she said, according to Yahoo. “But I lessen my carbs. I also eat a balanced diet.” She tries to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, some carbohydrates, and protein, which she gets from red meat.
Consistency is key, according to Rufa. “You can’t yo-yo diet. Discipline is necessary,” she says. “You have to support your eating with the right workout. But if you eat a lot today, you have to eat a bit less tomorrow,” she said, per Yahoo.
Rufa gets a workout in, no matter what, even when she can’t make it to the gym. “Thank you so much @ucmlifestyle for the Compact Treadmill! Now I can work out anytime, no need to go to the gym. I can even workout while watching my daughter and we can enjoy together! It’s all about healthy lifestyle guys! Let’s go go run,” she captioned this post.
