We LOVE this mum!
A mum has gone viral around for the world for saying a big “Screw you!” to unrealistic beauty standards, particularly for new mums.
Aussie mummy blogger Olivia White, who blogs at House of White, shared a raw, gorgeous photo of her post-partum body on her Facebook page with the empowering, kick-ass caption: “Puffy face, droopy milk filled boobs, wider hips and belly full of stretch marks!! That's my post baby reality, no 'bouncing back' here!
“And you know what? I couldn't give a s**t! Because I'm not the same person I was before I had babies, so why would I want my body to reflect something and someone I no longer am?
Those droopy boobs fed my babies and grew them up big and strong. Those hips and rippled belly was home to my little babes for 9 months.
“It might not be the 'transformation' body so many ogle or aspire to! And sure, some days I wish it didn't jiggle so much and was a bit 'firmer' but then I just remember the awesome s**t it's done and cut myself some slack and go eat a cheeseburger, because we earned it.”
An you know what? As far as we’re concerned that’s akin to poetry, and we REALLY couldn’t put it better ourselves. You GO momma!
