The mummy tummy BBC article

Options
Okay, I'm like every other woman on the planet. Having a baby totally changed my body and for the longest time (until I saw this article and found this group, in the same day) I thought I was the only one that had a 'mummy tummy'.

I'm still going to get back in shape to be stronger and feel better but, I am going to also look inward and really think about what my idea of beauty is and how the media and Hollywood has shaped and even distorted my ideas of it.

This article from BBC is really quite beautiful

    I'll definitely check it out! I totally agree. The media has distorted our view on what women should look like. Being confident in who you are and how you look crucial. It's definitely hard when it's so natural for us to compare ourselves to others and what we see in magazines and tv.

    Everyone was not created to be the same shape and size. I've never the rock abs but i sure wouldn't mind a different body especially my tummy :( having kids changes alot.
