A Real Mama's body

I don't know about you, but I feel great about myself. Except when I look in the mirror. At that point, my internal image of myself comes face to face with the image of what a woman "should" look like. I don't read a lot of women's magazines, but I see pictures of the Hollywood woman every time I go grocery shopping, and that cultural image is wired into my brain. I try hard not to look at the magazines because I don't like feeling bad about myself.

A friend of mine posted this great article on what magazines do to celebrity bodies on Facebook. I had to share.

Here's a picture of a (semi) celebrity mama who was willing to be normal and real.

This is How its done.

Remember - you made a baby. In that amazing body of yours. Celebrate that.
