The January 2019 snap shows the ’emotional’ mother cradling her newborn son after returning home from the hospital. 

‘When I look at this photo I feel like I’m in that moment again. I was in so much pain I could barely walk to the car. My wound burned and I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain,’ she said.

‘I was so anxious about going home – not only was I going home with a newborn but we were about to begin our life as a family of four. I didn’t know how to juggle a toddler and a newborn. I felt so emotional and tired.’

The October 2019 picture shows the mother smiling, alongside her two sons, after she slimmed down.

Elisha signed up to Equalution, an Australian science-based nutrition and weight loss program that helps people achieve their body transformation goals without giving up on the foods they love to eat.

She follows an 80/20 rule where 80 per cent are made up of nutrient dense foods and 20 per cent ‘soul’ foods so anything from chocolates and ice creams to burgers and pizzas.

‘My body is responding so well. Every day I feel content and satisfy and I’m never really hungry. I look forward to every meal, it’s so good,’ she said.

‘I’ve been having amazing results.’

‘Fast forward… I look and see a happy version of me… standing with my two sons. Not only is there 26kg difference, I am just mentally in a great place at the moment and have gained my confidence back,’ she said. 

‘My postpartum journey hasn’t been an easy one. Since I committed to more self love a couple months ago everything got better and easier.’

She wanted to remind other new mothers who’s struggling with self confidence after childbirth that they will ‘one day you’ll feel like yourself again’.

‘You might not look the same because who are we kidding, babies change you. But you’ll get to a point where you feel like yourself,’ she said.

‘Take your time. Enjoy the newborn phase and when you’re ready make sure you focus on you and taking some time for yourself.’

Earlier this year, the mother revealed how she was viciously trolled by cruel bullies on social media after she shared a picture of her growing baby bump.

‘People would also say hurtful things like ‘why is her bump so big? I better not get like this’ and that it was the biggest bump they’d ever seen,’ she said. 

‘They would always be very repetitive, including that I was having 78 kids, giving birth to a horse or it must have been triplets.’

In August, Elisha candidly detailed the excruciating pain she endured during her pregnancy and whether she missed her baby bump.

‘Don’t get me wrong I love being pregnant. I embrace the bump, love to style it and feel so beautiful and confident when I’m pregnant – growing life is magic,’ she said.

‘But… gosh it’s heavy! The pains can be unbearable. The whole third trimester I could barely walk. It was like I’d be out shopping or running errands and I’d be 15 minutes up and about and have to sit down because I felt like my legs and pelvis couldn’t take one more step. 

‘Sleeping is ridiculously uncomfortable. Not to mention the bladder pressure. Back aches. Being kicked all day long – which I love too haha but sometimes those teeny feet can take your breath away. 

‘Just trying to go about every day life is exhausting! So nope I don’t miss the bump! Maybe ask me in another year but for now I’m loving being light on my feet and sleeping on my tummy.’
