Just wanted to say You're Beautiful

Yesterday while talking to a (male) coworker, he made the statement (jokingly) that all I needed was a mommy makeover and that my husband secretly probably wanted me to get some work done too.

As a woman who gave birth to two beautiful kids, you do not understand how painful and gut wrenching this statement was. I just tried my best to keep a strong face so he couldn't see how much his statement hurt.

I have a wonderful husband who loves me and every inch of my body, but it really got to me how as a woman (or man), we continue to fight this image society has made us (and everyone else) believed is perfect when it's NOT. I know I'm not skinny, or fit, that i don't have perfect skin, and that i don't look like a supermodel, but I have some many other qualities that make me a kind and beautiful person. I know that I'm not going be to of everyone's liking, but there's no need to be ugly. I constantly keep working on being a better person, mentally and physically, and that's all I can do.

So to everyone out there, you're a beautiful person regardless of what society says, and I'm freaking proud of you for doing something to better yourself.

Sincerely,
Alo
