A mum-of-six has been slammed on social media for posting a photo of her ‘stretch marks’.
Sharny Kieser, 39, known as ‘Fitmum’ shared a photo of herself on her Facebook page Sharny & Julius wearing a crop top and shorts; her stretch marks proudly revealed.
While thousands praised her and thanked her ‘for showing the reality of being a mum’ there were also some who left hurtful comments, shares Daily Mail.
One comment read – ‘at least Photoshop the disgusting stretch marks out’.
Her husband, Julius, quickly came to Ms Kaiser’s defence.
Mr Kaiser, who takes many of his wife’s portraits, shared a dramatic black and white image showing Ms Kaiser, along with a caption which read:
‘Stretchmarks are beautiful’.
‘I think they symbolise the strength of a mother who brought six children into the world. Not just this mother, but EVERY mother,’ he wrote in his post.
‘I believe that a body of a confident WOMAN (like this) is far more beautiful and sexy than the body of an insecure GIRL (what you normally see on social media),’ he added.
Thank you, Julius, for being such an understanding man. We need to see this more and stop judging mums for ridiculous stuff.
Sharny has shared in the past a moving post on Instagram admitting she loves her body despite her visible stretch marks and saggy skin. Read more here.
