In a world with weekly ”bump watch” announcements and serious tabloid body-snarking, there is always a lot of buzz when it comes to celebrities and body image. It isn’t hard to wonder how these well-known women deal with their own children’s body image issues, as well as their personal issues surrounding pregnancy and a post-baby body. This is especially true when we’re talking about some of the most photographed and scrutinized women in the world.

Motherhood is a huge variable that can affect the way we see our bodies. Whether it’s pregnancy itself, advice from our own moms or simply looking at ourselves through the eyes of our children, becoming a mother is a big deal when it comes to body image. Not only that but it’s important to think about the things we think and say about ourselves and how those choices can mold the way our kids see themselves.

“When I was growing up there wasn’t one woman in my environment who I heard saying something positive about her body. Everything I heard was negative, negative, negative,” “I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given. Children orientate towards examples. That’s why I talk solely positive about my body in front of my daughter. I say things like ‘Hey, look at my strong arms!’ Or I shake my butt and say ‘Look at my fabulous butt!”

“I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say, ‘I feel fat.’ Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous! I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ’cause I loved it.”
