What Body Image Means to Marie of 1000 Reasons I’m A Crap Mom
This is one of my favourite photos of me and my boy, C.
Look at me, beaming with pride for my beauteous offspring, nevermind the uneven boobs, saggy belly and thunder thighs he left me with (also, thank heavens for huge dark glasses to cover the devastation left after many long nights).
Look at C, his face a mix of “Help me get away from this crazy woman, of COURSE she is not my mother, seriously, look at me and tell me if she looks like my mother” and “I’m too cute for this onesie/pram/park/Universe.”
And people ask me why I blog!
I am the single mom of a lovely boy who definitely deserves a better mother than I will ever be. Not that I’m really trying. 1000 Reasons I’m a Crap Mom is a chronicle of my spectacular fails as a mom. Catch them all!
And Stephanie at Ooph is hosting an awesome Body Image Week RIGHT NOW!

That is a beautiful picture! I look at my stretch marks and it reminds me that my body was made for much more wonderful things than just to look pretty, it gave me my two favorite little people in this world.
I look at mine and try to remember when it was that I got attacked by a bengal tiger with anger issues!
LMAO!
Maria beams with beauty and honesty. She is as lovely inside as she is on the outside.
Aw, stop it! *fierce blush*
You look totally hawt in that pic!! Thanks for sharing with us!
It’s all about the sunglasses, dah-ling!
I love posts like this. It’s funny, because while you personally can look at the picture and name some things “wrong”, others can look at it as a “goal picture”. I think you look great and I’m glad you wanted to post the picture and write about it.
