My body went through so much (9 months of pregnancy and delivery via CS) so now, I&rsquo;m giving it the TLC it truly deserves.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Good job, body! I love you, thank you for taking care of my little Peanut,&rdquo; she added.</p><p>Jessy &mdash; who was once named FHM&rsquo;s Sexiest Woman &mdash; &nbsp;said she wants to get fit not only for herself but for her baby.</p><p>&ldquo;The reason why I want to stay active is because I want to be able to carry and run with my little one until I grow old,&rdquo; she said.</p><p><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/5/jessy-mendiola-shares-story-of-daughter-isabella-rose-s-arrival-last-december-1128"><strong>READ: Jessy Mendiola starts fitness journey after giving birth</strong></a></p><p>While she was pregnant with her daughter, Jessy admitted that she felt insecure about her growing body as she has always been fit and active.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t feel like myself anymore. As in dati, may abs ako tapos naka-swimsuit pa ako lagi. May mga bikini pictures pa ako,&rdquo; she said in a vlog.</p><p>&ldquo;I really get insecure. People are saying kapag buntis ka, dapat lagi kang masaya. Pero honestly, mahirap sa akin tanggapin na talagang lalaki ako or iiba yung itsura ko,&rdquo; she also admitted.</p><p><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/29/jessy-mendiola-reveals-face-of-daughter-with-luis-manzano-little-rosie-for-the-first-time-1330"><strong>READ: Jessy Mendiola reveals face of daughter with Luis Manzano, little Rosie, for the first time</strong></a></p><p>However, along the way, Jessy learned how to embrace the changes in her body.</p><p>&nbsp;&ldquo;When it comes to pregnancy, kailangan mo talagang tanggapin na may magbabago sa katawan mo and it&rsquo;s not going to be the same anymore,&rdquo; she said. As months go by, kapag nakikita mong lumalaki yung tiyan mo, doon mo maiisip na it&rsquo;s all worth it, kasi you&rsquo;re carrying a human inside of you.&rdquo;</p><p>Jessy gave birth to her daughter with Luis in December 2022. She and television host belatedly introduced baby Isabella to the world in January.</p><p><style rel="stylesheet">.scroll-wrapper {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;}.scroll-wrapper iframe {border: none;}</style></p><div class="scroll-wrapper"><iframe id="MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789" style="width: 100%; min-height: 480px;" src="https://controller.megaphonetv.com/?m=tqu4z&iswebpoll=true&poll_id=active"></iframe></div><script type="text/javascript">!function(){class e{constructor(t,s=null){this.type=null,this.fieldName=t,this.fieldValue=s,this.originMessageID=`${(new Date).getTime()}_${Math.random()}`,this.systemID=e.SYSTEM_ID}toPlainObject(){return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this))}}e.GET="GET",e.SET="SET",e.RESPONSE="RESPONSE",e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK="LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK",e.SYSTEM_ID="MP_FIRST_PARTY_DATA_BRIDGE";class t extends e{constructor(t,s,a=null){super(t,s),this.status=a,this.type=e.RESPONSE}}function s(){try{if("undefined"==typeof localStorage)return!1;try{return localStorage.setItem("testkey","testvalue"),localStorage.removeItem("testkey"),!0}catch(e){return!1}}catch(e){return!1}}if(window&&window.addEventListener){const a=document.getElementById("MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789");new class{constructor(){this.targetOrigin="*",this.bubblingMessages=new Map,this.beginListeningForMessages()}beginListeningForMessages(){window.addEventListener("message",this.messageListener.bind(this),!1)}messageListener(a){if(a.data.systemID!==e.SYSTEM_ID)return;let i=a.data.type,n=a.data.fieldName,r=a.data.fieldValue,g=new t;if(g.originMessageID=a.data.originMessageID,i===e.GET)g.fieldName=n,s()?this.handleGet(n,a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.SET)s()?this.handleSet(n,r):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK)s()?this.handleLocalStorageCheck(a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.RESPONSE){const e=this.bubblingMessages.get(a.data.originMessageID);null!=e&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(a.data.originMessageID),e.source.postMessage(a.data,this.targetOrigin))}}handleGet(e,t,s){s.fieldValue=localStorage.getItem(e),s.status=200,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}handleSet(e,t){localStorage.setItem(e,t)}handleLocalStorageCheck(e,t){t.status=200,e.postMessage(t.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}checkForBubble(e,t,s){!function(){try{return window.self!==window.top}catch(e){return!0}}()?(s.status=403,s.fieldValue=null,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)):this.bubbleMessage(e,t)}bubbleMessage(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.set(t.originMessageID,{message:t,source:s}),t.type!==e.GET&&t.type!==e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK||setTimeout(this.handleBubbledMessageTimeout.bind(this),4e3,t,s),window.parent.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin)}handleBubbledMessageTimeout(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.has(t.originMessageID)&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(t.originMessageID),t.status=404,t.type=e.RESPONSE,s.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin))}};window.addEventListener("message",function(e){e.data.hasOwnProperty("height")&&(a.style.height=(parseInt(e.data.height)+1).toString()+"px")},!1)}}();</script>
