Mom's are so busy with the kids, it's often hard for them to put themselves first. Unless you have a full time nanny, it's pretty much impossible to spend two hours in the gym each night, don't you agree?

She asked those who saw the photo, "What's your excuse?"

Kang didn't understand that many working mothers aren't able to devote a ton of their time to working to get rock solid abs and a toned physique. Many are too busy with more important matters. Moreover, our bodies are our bodies we can treat them the best as we can, but we cannot make them do what they cannot do.

Reasonably, many mothers were upset.

Now, nearly seven years later, she sings a different tune. Kang has had some struggles of her own. She has gained weight.

Perhaps the mother learned that life isn't perfect, so no one especially a mom should be expected to look "perfect."

"It was important for me because I always tell women to celebrate their bodies," Kang told People. "Regardless, if we have some cellulite, extra weight, extra skin or extra scars be proud, because we are constantly progressing, transforming and aging! This is our temple, so take care of it!"
