Loving Your Body: Taryn Brumfitt and The Body Image Movement [View all]

Before and After Taryn learned to love her body. She is now making a documentary on the Body Image Movement.

Before having children, Taryn Brumfitt was a super jacked/svelte body builder.(Not exactly, Taryn tells the story differently in her the video ). After giving birth changed her body though, her self esteem did too.

Brumfitt considered getting a tummy tuck and a boob job, until she asked herself how she could teach her daughter to love her own body if Brumfitt couldn't love her own.

So she's gone all in—posting the above Before and After photo on Facebook, which is a brilliant inversion of what we consider to be desirable bodies, and a powerful rebuke to Fit Mom. She has also taken to kickstarter to raise money for a documentary that examines why it's so hard for women have good body image.

Both Taryn and the photographer doing the project in my last OP have kickstarter accounts to fundraise for their projects.
