My body has always been curvy and over the years I embraced it but still felt a sense of insecurity as I had cellulite, rolls, etc. I wasn’t “perfect” and always wanted to be. In magazines I would see curvy women but there was never one dimple on their thigh. I was always attempting to obtain an unrealistic body. I am a new mom who gave birth to an amazing little girl 4 months ago. I have come to realize in this short amount of time that I will be her first and biggest role model and influence. I would never want her to think her worth is based on her size or body type.

Having my daughter has really made me much more confident and taught me to appreciate my body. Even though I am bigger than pre baby I feel much more positive about my body. My body grew, nurtured and birthed a beautiful baby girl. Everyone should appreciate the real post baby bodies…stretch marks and all. Those airbrushed bodies are for the birds!!!
