Singer Kelly Rolland, who has 21-month-old son Titan with her husband Tim Witherspoon, finally feels comfortable in her own skin.
The actress says giving birth to a child really challenges the way you look at yourself, reported FemaleFirst.
"I wish that someone would invent something to take away stretch marks and cellulite. If you don't have stretch marks and cellulite after you had a baby, I really don't like you. It's just not fair. Giving birth challenged and changed the way I looked at my body.
"When I made 30-something happen, I just felt this click of everything kind of falling into place, and really feeling comfortable in my skin ... Feeling myself," she told Allure.
The 35-year-old singer has made herself her top priority and got a tattoo to remind her of that every day.
"This one is a number one. I was just thinking about putting myself as number one in my thoughts. If you can't take care of yourself you don't have anything else to give to anybody else. So I'm my number one.
"You're making your schedule for your baby, your husband, and where do you fall into place? I was like, 'I have to give something back to myself first before I can give anything to anybody else.' I truly believe in that.
