Woman in Bikini Invites Others To Draw Hearts on Her Body in Support of Self-Love [VIDEO]

This Ohio Mom's body isn't perfect, but her soul is beautiful as she stands in a marketplace, wearing only a bikini, and asks people to support self-love.

Self-esteem is something that I have struggled with all my life. As a teenager, I was very slender, and was even diagnosed as borderline anorexic when I was 15. But after having children, 'skinny' hasn't been an issue for me. Not a day goes by that I don't find myself stressing over my weight or berating myself for not exercising more.

So when I watched this video, I'll admit that it brought tears to my eyes. This woman's courage is immeasurable. She opened herself up to ridicule and insult. She bared her soul and her body and she's my hero. I can't imagine doing what she did. And yet, watching the video makes me want to do it, if for no other reason, than to support her effort.

If you've ever struggled with self-esteem and body-image issues, I encourage you to watch this video. I hope this woman took many pictures of the end result of her efforts, and looks at them everyday to remind herself that she is beautiful, body and soul. So am I. And so are you!
