I know that beauty is on the inside and so do you.

So why do we have such a hard time believing what we know to be true?

But beauty is on the outside too, in all shapes and sizes. It is in the eye of the beholder.

Why can't we be the eye that beholds our own beauty?

That's a refreshing picture and she's beautiful. I've been hating my belly after having a baby and if I saw more pics like this I would feel a lot better about myself!!

Finally someone is showing a photo that is realistic!!!  Too many times we see photos of women who have had children with beautiful flat stomachs - that is not the norm!  A high percentage of women have tummies (and boobs) that have not sprung back to pre-pregnancy shape - and never will.  It doesn't mean that we are lazy or not dedicated to our fitness - it means that our skin simply isn't elastic enough to return to its original position - and that we were privleged enough to give birth to a child!!!  As the median age of women giving birth rises and we see more multiple births - tummy's that sag are the new reality!!  No one can deny that that is a photo of a beautiful, mature woman - amen!!!
