Mom posts side-by-side photos to spread the truth about post-baby bodies
Anna Strode, an Instagram fitness star, has rock-hard abs and twin babies.
She also has a lot of extra skin, but she is okay with that.
The 31-year-old shared two photos on Instagram to remind women that their bodies are capable of bearing life, and that's more important that staying toned.

She said women should be kind to their bodies and proud of what they have done.
It's not easy for me to do this, I promise you as I post this I am no joke absolutely shit*ing myself but the reason I'm doing this is to show you we're ALL REAL! We all have things we wish we could change, it's easy to get caught up in the perfect world of social media but DON'T! Because behind every image is someone that has things they wish they could change too.
The mother of two said in her caption that it wasn't easy to show such an unflattering photo.
And this isn't even the first time she's showed off her post-baby body. Earlier, she shared one that discussed the amount of hard work that went into bouncing back.

Even when it isn't perfect, hard work pays off.
