She continued: "It's amazing how many of you follow along and are inspired. However, I don't want anyone thinking I've just 'snapped back' - there is so much pressure out there for us Mums and women in general to look and feel a certain way. And, I've been trying really bloody hard to get my fitness back to where I was pre Wilder."
