'It's a daily thing, and you have good and bad days... But you can't stop, especially when you have little eyes watching you.'
After plucking up the courage to share the image of herself with her now 22-month-old daughter Teddy, the blogger wanted to remind other mothers to think positive about themselves.
'You just need to keep reminding yourself everyday that you're amazing no matter what anyone else or your own brain tries to trick you into thinking,' she said.
'This is a beautiful moment between my daughter and I, a memory I want to treasure forever and nothing can ruin that.'

After sharing her image onto Instagram, the glamorous mother penned a follow up post after she was bombarded with mix responses from around the world.
'I wanted to remind you of something super important,' she said.
'The other day when I shared my beach picture I was blown away by the response from other mums who empathised they had felt the same way about themselves in photos and they too had not kept or posted images because they didn't like how they looked.
'Some people of course didn't have the nicest things to say. And some people reminded me that I'm lucky to even have those images and you know what – they are totally right.'
But one particular comment she received from a US mother actually put her body image issues into perspective.

'One of the comments I received was from a mama in the US , she had just lost her two eldest sons ages 18 and 20 in a car accident that month,' Olivia said.
'She pleaded with me to not care what I ever look like in these images because she regretted that she herself had next to no photos of her with her children for this very same reason.
'My heart absolutely broke into a million pieces for her. My eyes began to water and in that moment, it hit me like a tonne of bricks.
'I know that this woman's story is unique, but we so often complain that we aren't in images because we are always taking them, only to then get one and pick apart how we look and not even keep it.'
