“When I happened to stumble upon the “Love Your Belly Movement” on Instagram, I felt a little less alone and empowered by real women rocking their bodies. Our stomach is such a place of power and creation, the “core” of who we are.
It’s time we embrace that power and stop allowing society to shame us for anything other than the flat tummy we’re continually sold. It’s time we lift each other up as women and empower one another to rock our own original beauty.
Thanks to women like Gina-Marie and Hailley who founded “Love Your Belly Movement,” our bellies are being celebrated and a new light shown on our bodies.” - Leann Rimes

Love Your Belly Movement celebrates tummies of all sizes
“HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- You might remember Lady Gaga's epic Super Bowl half time performance just a few months ago. After that performance, social media erupted with negative comments about Lady Gaga's body.
Two Houston women who saw the cyber firestorm decided to react in a positive way… “We're just tired of women being scrutinized in that way, and we want to empower women to love their bodies exactly as they are," Runnels said.”

Bold self-love is scary but empowering
“Self-love isn’t woo-woo or selfish. On a basic level, it’s about being kind — i.e., not beating ourselves up all the time; being willing and eager to give praise.
This topic has been on my mind since my recent column about the Love Your Belly Movement: “A movement designed to encourage women to stand tall, live bravely, dream BIG and celebrate their perfect bellies exactly as they are,”created by Hailley Wollak and Gina-Marie Vincent Runnels. One of their main suggestions? Regularly naming three to five things you love about yourself. It’s a fabulous self-love how-to.”
