Melinda French Gates has opened up about his experience with weight gain during his first pregnancy.
60-year-old philanthropist-who shares three children with ex-husband Bill Gates-had a conversation about the image of the body during a attendance Jamie Kern Lima Show Podcast, which aired on Monday.
Host Jamie Kern Lima mentioned that in the new book of French Gates, Next dayBusinesswoman writes about getting 79 pounds when she was pregnant with her first child, Jennifer. She also writes about the freedom when she came to know that when she was pregnant after pressure, she felt a certain weight when she was younger.
“I had to do a truss with my doctor, because every time I used to go in, they always kept you on a scale, okay? And he was really worried,” he missed. “And I finally said to him, ‘Okay, are you worried because it is a problem for my health or my child’s health?” And he said, ‘No’
She explained that every time she used to go to the doctor during her pregnancy, she used to talk to her about her weight, which should be “on that number”. So, he eventually asked him what the problem was.
“And he said, ‘I am afraid that you are going to go mad at me because when it is over, it will take you some time to overcome the weight of pregnancy,” he said. “And I said, ‘Tell you, let’s have a trus.
French Gates said that when she became pregnant with Jennifer, she knew that she was “growing up”, but it did not make any difference because she was “excited to develop a child.”
“It was finally, I did not have to worry, you know, feel good, trying to be thin, what I kept in my mouth, apart from things that I knew and wanted to eat healthy,” he explained.
She said that when she was “heavy” during her pregnancy, being pregnant was “free” for her because she did not think about “expectations”, she used to put herself to see her in a certain way.
“And then in my life I realized much later, ‘Hmm what are the expectations that are on me? He said.
French Gates also shared that he had a lover in college who commented on her weight, which grew up with her.
“Finally, I got out of that relationship, but it took me a long time,” she said. “Many of those messages with me with me and even in my thirtyth decade, and it was probably not until I found forty that I was more cured, which I was.”
She said that when she “wants to be fit and healthy, she does not focus on having a specific weight.
Last week, French Gates opened his divorce from Microsoft’s co-founder, which he earlier said that his life was the greatest regret of his life. He addressed the comments of Gates, arguing that the partition was “something that was necessary.”
“If you can’t live your values inside your most intimate relationship, it was necessary,” he said Many times“I don’t even know what to do with that statement, so I am not going to comment on what I say. It is my life. My life is. Now my life is. I am very happy.”
