But it turns out not all of those fit moms posting perfect photos online are blessed with great genes (or Photoshop skills). Fitness influencer and mom-of-two Laysa Neto is showing us that those photos are all about posing and angles, and that even moms who are in great shape can still have pregnancy souvenirs like stretch marks and loose skin. Images like these are so important because even though we know angle tricks and Photoshop exist, far too often the only photos we see posted are the ones that look like that third image, when the truth is anything but. “I don’t have constant abs,” Neto admitted. “I’m the 1st picture 99% of the time babes.” Raise your hand if you needed to hear that. Even if we know that the images we see online aren’t the whole truth, it’s so easy to look at them and get discouraged about our own bodies. But the truth is, women’s bodies do amazing things, and the evidence of that — the stretch marks and the skin — are nothing to be ashamed of.
