“But for real, I’m super down with constructive criticism, but be careful how harsh, unfounded or mean-spirited your words can be."
And Port asked people to keep in mind that her words were for “EVERYONE’s posts.”
She added, “I’m a beach vacation. In a bathing suit. Warning: some pictures and videos might show my body!”
“Cheers to all you folks thinking I’m doing ‘body-checks’!" she wrote. “I didn’t even know what that meant until someone wrote it on one of my posts!”
Port has talked about her weight as concerns mounted over her appearance from fans, and said herhusband Rosenmantold her, “it’s not just something strangers are spewing.”
“I have yet to admit to myself that I have an eating disorder,” Portsaid on a recent episodeof her podcast,With Whit.
“I feel like it’s just more out of laziness and pickiness,” she explained about her recent weight loss, adding that she will “just go hungry and like, don’t care.”
“I think, though, that is a type of disordered eating,” she admitted. “Like, that’s not okay, that’s not healthy. I’m obviously not giving my body the nutrients it needs.”
But in her recent Instagram post, Port said that as discussion about her health and appearance continued, “Everything was blown a bit out of proportion.”
“I’m a busy mom who just needs to take a little better care of herself and I’m on it.”
And on another podcast episode,Port emphasized that she was aware of the reasons for concerns about her health, saying, “Getting on the scale was really an eye opener.”
“I think that once you see the numbers, the numbers can’t lie and I had no idea that I weighed as little as I did.”
Thedesignersaid she’s looking at ways to improve herself “holistically.”
Port has said that she was going to reach out to an “awesome” nutritionist and eating disorder specialist that her best friend recommended to her.
“I need to be taking care of myself.”
