Thank You Glamour

0814-lizzie-miller_vg
As a new (ish) mom with the resulting new body I am glad to see pictures likes this. This is real. This is what women look like. I have lost all the weight and then some and I still have that same belly. I am at a better weight than I have been in years, a weight that is perfectly healthy and in proper BMI for my height and I still have rolls. This is what we need to see. No more photoshop, no more wishing for a personal trainer and chef. She is beautiful in all her soft and saggy belly glory. She is confident and healthy and gorgeous.

Okay, I swear they photoshopped her head onto my body. I'm glad there are a few others out there who also have some leftovers!

Thank you for sharing this. No one tells you what your body will look like after the whole miracle of pregnancy and childbirth. I think there is something beautiful about the "battle wounds" of childbirth.

That is awesome. So rare that a magazine embraces the realities of a woman's body!

So, I was a bit shocked to first see this photo (to tell the truth) but like the others, I LOVE it. I seriously don't know how anyone gets rid of the pooch.
