Rachel Hollis: Blogger and mommy to three kids
This 32-year-old mother from Los Angeles decided to flaunt her midriff in a Facebook post that went viral.
I have stretch marks and I wear a bikini. I have a belly that’s permanently flabby from carrying three giant babies and I wear a bikini. My belly button is saggy… (which is something I didn’t even know was possible before!!) and I wear a bikini. I wear a bikini because I’m proud of this body and every mark on it. Those marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies and that flabby tummy means I worked hard to lose what weight I could. I wear a bikini because the only man who’s opinion matters knows what I went through to look this way. That same man says he’s never seen anything sexier than my body, marks and all. They aren’t scars ladies, they’re stripes and you’ve earned them. Flaunt that body with pride!
Her one picture inspired moms all over the world who felt confident and proud of their mommy body image, which is so unlike the perfect model figure being flaunted across the globe.
