The Struggle Within
It might not be obvious from the outside, but Natalie Suleman has experienced plenty of trying times. We mean this in both the physical and emotional sense of the word. To this day, she is still fighting the injuries she incurred when she was carrying her eight youngest kids. The single mother experienced four ruptured discs in the lumbar spine, irreparable sacral damage, peripheral neuropathy, and bilateral sciatica. However, you would not be able to tell if you did not know about it. In an effort to fight off the pain, she works out on the stair master machine and does 10 miles on it every single day. Aside from this, she also goes to an exclusively female gym because of the severe social anxiety she has been dealing with ever since she was a little girl. Crowded gyms often exacerbate the condition. She snapped this photo to give gratitude to the people who gave her free workout clothes after these good Samaritans noticed she had not bought new ones in years. Get ready for the next photo as it will show you just how strong she has gotten over the years.
The Struggle Within
Young Natalie
Natalie Suleman had been a little girl once upon a time. We all know how popular throwback posts have become on social media networks. Taken in the year 1978, little Natalie was all dressed up for Halloween. How adorable is that costume together with the smeared lipstick?! Her mom helped her dress up as a messy clown. She might have changed her name, but this does not mean she does not want to remember her past. In fact, it was only the Octomom persona that she wanted to let go of. After all, it almost destroyed her life. She has come a long way from then, and she has proven all her critics wrong by providing for her brood. We personally think it is admirable that she has been doing a good job at such a tough task! More power to you, Natalie.
