However, she told TODAY Parents that she is taking her time to return to her target 120lbs - and is mainly concerned with being 'fit and healthy'. 'I’m not looking to be rail thin,' she told the site. On her blog, Mrs Venditti says she reached her goal weight in college after 'being a little bit on the heavy side' as a child. She admits her sole, 'pretty shallow' purpose back then was to 'turn heads'. 'I was already dating my now-husband Mike, and knew that he would love me whatever size I was, but I still craved walking into a room and having all eyes on me,' writes the designer and artist.

Adorable: The designer and artist, who lives in Milton, Ontario, is pictured with three of her four children . During her first two pregnancies, Mrs Venditti, who weighed around 125lbs before both, experienced fast and easy deliveries. She gained 50lbs with each of the babies and lost the weight within months. But, she says, she was terrified when she found out she was expecting twins. 'I couldn’t wrap my mind around how enormous I was going to get,' Mrs Venditti writes in her widely-read blog post. 'I was already well known for having huge basketball size bellies whenever I was pregnant, but growing two babies at once??? To be honest, I was kind of freaking out about it.' Mrs Venditti, who lives with her family near Toronto, says her fear was only heightened by the many ultrasounds and blood tests that she was required to undergo, all of which came with multiples. Whenever it got too much for her, she would repeat to herself: 'You are a vessel, you are a vessel'. Mrs Venditti, who weighed 190lbs at her heaviest, gave birth to her twins via cesarean section at 37 weeks. She says she was left with a 'bruised and battered' body, with 'swollen ankles' and scars. She also suffered severe pain in her upper torso from her organs stretching to accommodate Mia and Everly. The pain meant she could not lie down, forcing to her to sleep while sat up for a week. 'I told my husband, I don’t feel like myself,' Mrs Venditti said. 'This adorable cute belly that would distract everyone was gone and you’re left with the remains. I did feel sad, I almost mourned.' However, after reflecting on her body's incredible journey, she eventually came to love it. And if she ever has a moment of insecurity, she reminds herself of her accomplishment of having twins.
