If you have had a baby and you do not like your postpartum body then you are not alone. Most women struggle to accept their postpartum body. But have you ever wondered "why."" "Why do we dislike our postpartum body?" Why is it so hard to accept the difference?" "Why do so many women opt to change it through surgery or other ways that are advertised ?" Below are some of the top reasons why you hate your postpartum body. 5. Your clothes don't fit the same After you have a baby, oftentimes your clothes will not fit. Whether you are 6 weeks postpartum or 10 years, your clothing may never fit exactly the same, regardless of how much weight you lose. As a result some women may start to feel like a stranger in their own body. They may not know what clothes will flatter them anymore or how to find new clothes that look great on them.

What is INTRA-RACISM?
(make-up tips included!)
This is actually a pretty common unspoken question. Is having dark skin pretty or not? The average Caucasian tans very often to get a "dark" glow and that is considered beautiful. However, within many other cultures, the darker the skin, the "uglier" the person. No one really says those exact word, but the media rarely ever displays beautiful "dark" women of any ethnicity. There have been numerous occasions where television stations have chosen a "lighter" skin person, simply because it is deemed more pretty and acceptable to society.
Everyone is guilty of this unspeakable tragedy, not just one culture. Blacks are their own worse enemy when it comes to separating themselves from one another because one person is darker than the other. The history of this stems from the American culture of "lighter" being prettier. Blacks started to dislike one another based on the shade of each of their skin. If you were not lighter, you were not as pretty. Lighter skin was deemed as being closer to appearing "white." During the slave days, many blacks would deny their heritage at an attempt to escape slavery. If you were "light" enough, you could fool (almost) anyone.
How can a black person fool another person into believing they are white...or not black?
Isn't it obvious?
Yes and No. It depends on who is looking at them. In our society, people who have darker skin have been given the name as "all looking alike." If you are not apart of a specific culture and you have a stereotype of what another ethnicity is suppose to look like, anyone who appears different, you may just mistake them for a completely different race. But, if you are familiar with a particular culture, then you are more likely to identify a person as belonging to a specific group despite of the color of their eyes and hair may be.
The truth is, the stereotypes of darker people are so set in stone that people have not began to recognize that their are different features. Instead, when they spot a unique or pretty individual, their first assumption is, they are not black or whatever color they associate with being darker.
Dark is lovely and it comes in more ethnicity's than just black. There are PLENTY of non-blacks who have very dark skin, and they are mistaken for being black based on the false stereotypes people have created. America sets the traditional standard for beauty, but that needs to expand. Notice I said EXPAND. I believe that the ladies that are considered beautiful are gorgeous, however, not many other cultures are recognized in addition to how Americans (and other cultures) identify beauties
As young adults grow up and only see certain cultures and shades being called beautiful, it can take a toll on their self-esteem. Low self-esteem can affect many areas of your life
Jobs
Relationships
Teenage pregnancy
Abuse
Lack of education
Suicide
Violence...
And much more!
