Woman Redefines 'Bikini Body' In Honest (and Perfect) Facebook Post

When Molly Galbraith entered the new year she realised the year already came with an important distinction: It was the first year she hadn't made a resolution that involved changing her body.

Galbraith is the co-founder and owner of Girls Gone Strong, an online fitness guide and community "designed by women for women."

After recognising that the first day of the year marked an important occasion, she shared a photo of herself wearing a bikini on her health and wellness Facebook page. 

"This [is] not a before picture. This is not an after picture," she wrote in the caption of the photo. "This just happens to be what my body looks like on a random Tuesday in December of 2015 - it's a LIFE picture."

In the caption, she shared how she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's (an autoimmune thyroid disease) and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). She also talks about her body and what it's been through.

"This is a body that loves protein and vegetables and queso and ice cream," she wrote. "This is a body that loves bent presses and pull-ups and deadlifts and sleep."

"This is a body that has been called:
- too fat
- too thin
- too masculine
- too strong
- too weak
- too big
- too skinny
...all within the same week."

Galbraith told The Huffington Post she hoped to motivate other women to not give in to impossible beauty standards and to let them know that having confidence is not a flaw.

"We tell women to be confident, and yet, when a woman displays her confidence, the world is lining up to tear her down and tell her why she shouldn’t be so full of herself".

Go girl!!
