I love how she describe her body, that it created her kids and how she loves it for what it can do(so skip the last part about losing weight). I think that is such a great message that I forget sometimes. I get so caught up in needing to look perfect and skinny and all those things we discussed when talking about body image and media. But sometimes I forget that my body is an amazing gift from God. Our bodies are capable of so much and I find myself taking it for granted at times. I mean just take an anatomy class and it will blow your mind what your body can do! I think this is such a great reminder to really appreciate our bodies and take care of them. I don't want to forget what a blessing my body is. I want to treat it well so it can take me wherever I need and want to go in life. I just love seeing such a positive message for women about their bodies in the media. I want to be healthy for me so my body can do it's job and I am happy, not so I can look beautiful by someone else's standards. I love that this message is becoming more popular in society, especially the Dove campaign for Real Beauty! Seriously though you should check that one out too, powerful messages in there.
