This woman posted a photo of herself in a bikini on Facebook, it went viral, but the reason isn’t what you think.
Rachel Hollis is the founder of The Chic Site, the author of a successful book, she’s an events planner and covers fashion.
She’s also a mother of three.
Hollis posted a picture of herself on Facebook via her website’s account, but she definitely didn’t expect the response she got.
The picture, featuring Rachel on a beach in a bikini, went viral, accompanied by this caption:
“I have stretch marks and I wear a bikini. I have a belly that’s permanently flabby from carrying three giant babies and I wear a bikini. My belly button is saggy… (which is something I didn’t even know was possible before!!) and I wear a bikini. I wear a bikini because I’m proud of this body and every mark on it. Those marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies and that flabby tummy means I worked hard to lose what weight I could. I wear a bikini because the only man who’s opinion matters knows what I went through to look this way. That same man says he’s never seen anything sexier than my body, marks and all. They aren’t scars ladies, they’re stripes and you’ve earned them. Flaunt that body with pride! #HollisHoliday”
She’s apparently been overwhelmed with support since the photo went viral – other women are calling her an inspiration.
“I love hearing that someone is going to wear a bikini for the first time in 20 years or that this picture changed their perspective,” she told Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Yes, there has been some negative feedback, but after recently finishing a marathon, she thought there was no time like the present to show off your rig.
“If there’s ever time to show off your belly, this is probably it.”
