Molly-Mae Hague has admitted to having a 'constant battle' with herself as she's been left 'embarrassed' by certain habits she's found herself with since welcoming her first child into the world.

In her latest YouTube vlog, the former Love Island star was candid with her viewers as she spoke about the "bad relationship and habits" she’s developed since giving birth to her daughter Bambi in January 2023 and admitted that she never talks about it as it’s "triggering" and a "very sensitive topic".

Molly-Mae spoke opened about her "really, really bad relationship" with exercise and eating and explained that after becoming a mum, she's found it difficult to get out of it and change her mindset.

Early into her latest video shared with her millions of subscribers, the 25-year-old said: "Weird topic and I haven’t really spoken about this because I know it’s quite a triggering and a very sensitive topic, and I avoid normally at all costs talking about anything sensitive on my channel because the last thing I want to do is ever offend anybody.

"But ever since I’ve had Bambi, so two years now, I have had a really, really bad relationship with exercise and my eating. It’s hard because I developed this mindset a couple of years ago, if I don’t want to do something, I’m not going to do it, aka exercise because I feel like when I used to exercise a lot, I felt like I had to exercise.

"Then I went the polar opposite way and was like, actually if I don’t wanna exercise I don’t need to exercise. I kind of convinced myself that I don’t need to do anything that I don’t wanna do and I don’t wanna exercise so therefore I’m not gonna exercise. So now, for the last two years, I’ve actually barely exercised at all."

She went on: "I’m just brain dumping here, I’m speaking out loud. But it’s this constant battle in my mind of well, Zoe loves exercising, she wants to exercise so therefore she does it, whereas I never feel the need to want to exercise, so should I therefore still be doing it?

"Also I know to keep my body fit and healthy I should really be exercising for I think they say at least 30 minutes every day. It’s this tricky mindset for me, I don’t wanna do anything that I don’t wanna do. And also with eating, I don’t wanna restrict myself so therefore if I wanna eat something, I’m going to eat it. They call it intuitive eating.

"But then also there’s that battle of, if I do that, I’m eating whatever I want and for me personally, it doesn't tend to be that healthy." She admitted that she is "embarrassed" of the habits she has developed, as she continued: “I’m really struggling to figure out what my version of what a healthy lifestyle looks like, and trying to find a place in which feels good for me with exercise and eating habits.

"I’m semi-embarrassed of the habits I’ve developed recently. I know my family, they're not concerned about me at all, but because Zoe and I are so polar opposite. The thought of a gym makes me shudder. I think I’ve developed quite bad gym anxiety as well. Weirdly, the thought of doing exercise gives me a bit of anxiety and I really don’t want to do it.

"But I also know that I need to do it because I want to be fit and strong for my daughter and also for me, because I want to have a healthy body. But then also, should I be doing something that I really don’t want to do? Wow, it’s really confusing isn’t it."
