The Belly Project

http://thebellyproject.wordpress.com/

I discovered this today and would suggest you see. The Belly Project came about by 2 health educators to show that we've become so used to airbrushed/photoshopped images of women's bodies that we think something is wrong with ours since we cannov measure up and truth be told neither the models can too n real life.

Bellies come in all sapes and sizes, no 2 are alike. And we wonder why we have sucha distorted picture of what real women look like. And then we can be surprised we are vhe norm and not the exceptions. I carried 6 babies but just now having stretch marks because of a distention due an enlarged hernia. Stretch marks are a badge of honor if you have borne life into the world and distorted images of how bad it is or how ugly or whavever people may think needs to be revamped. Nov all the women shown have had babies and bellies are round, concaved, hanging whatever. In the final anylysis trying to meet unrealistic expectations does no one any good and does not futher the cause for what needs to be right in the world...
