Being both a proud mom and the blogger behind Queens of Constance, Constance Hall is definitely not afraid to tell it like it is, especially when it comes to her body!
"I’ve been writing, blogging, over sharing to anyone who’ll listen for the best part of ten years," she explains on her blog.
Along with parenting and lifestyle scenarios, she writes plenty of inspiring posts about confidence, and has penned a lot of great lessons about loving your body.
Though her upbeat advice always aims to empower women, even she sometimes finds herself learning new lessons about self-acceptance.
In fact, while out shopping for a dress, she actually ended up body shaming herself — how is that possible?
Along with a humorous photo of her trying to squeeze into a size 6 frock, Hall's description of an exchange with the store's salesperson explains how loving your body means not trying to conform to any dress sizes.

Mom and blogger Constance Hall is a huge advocate for post-baby body confidence.
She has posted plenty of proud photos online about her children, her personal style, and her #mumbod.
But she recently had an interaction in a clothing store that made her realize the importance of loving her own body — by not giving into dress size pressures!
In her usual fashion, she extracted a beautiful lesson from the fitting room fiasco and posted it online — along with a pretty funny photo.
Check out her account of the experience, which warns women about body shaming themselves.
"Went shopping for a new dress, was happily browsing the racks when the shop assistant says, 'Sorry darling those racks are size 6s and 8s only, the other racks will be better for you.'
"Hiding my offense I replied, 'That's cool. I AM a size 6.'
"And that's when we shared one of those awkward moments, the ones where she knows I'm lying, I know that she knows that I'm lying, she knows that I know that she knows that I'm lying…
"And I grabbed a size 6 dress to try on.
"Feeling under-enthused with the unsurprising results, I returned from the change room and told her that the colour did nothing for me."
"She responded with, 'Wow, you are one of those beautiful women that I would think suits every colour'
"Hmmmmm. It would appear that she is not the arsehole…. I am.
"She wasn't body shaming my delicious #mumbod — she was being practical, it was ME who body shamed myself by taking offense!!!!!!
"Today was a reminder that NO dress sizes are BETTER then any OTHER.
"It's YOUR BODY.
"You only have ONE.
"Love it."
Hall hit the nail on the head — it doesn't matter what dress size you are, loving your body is better than fitting into any particular dress size!
If you are proud of your #mumbod, make sure to SHARE with friends and family on Facebook.
