It’s a topic that’s been talked about for decades, but professional surfer and new mum Bethany Hamilton spoke out about her post-baby weight yesterday. Her response was really inspiring.

The 25 year-old, who gave birth to her first son Tobias back in June, posted this on her Facebook Page last night.

It’s refreshing to hear it from someone as well-known as Bethany standing up for real female bodies and ignoring all the bullshit about having a “perfect” post-baby body.

We want to hear more positive words from women like Bethany – and less body shaming, particularly for mothers. Who’s with us?
