I don't believe in perfection either, but I kind of love that Kate has been thrown to the wolves for years in the body image wars, and yet keeps putting herself out there, exposing her vulnerabilities. You just have to admire that level of courage. I know I certainly don't have it. I write aboutloving yourself and accepting your flaws, and yet over the weekend, I was in a hot tub, surrounded by some of my favorite people in the world, and I was having hard a hard time enjoying myself because my upper arms were exposed. Sigh. The battle for body acceptance is constant, but at least I have heroes like Kate to look toward for inspiration."Describing her own body, Kate admits to having aged, but maintains she is proud of her flawed physique, saying: 'Here we go, I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids... I'm doing all right. I'm 33. I don't look in the mirror and go, 'Oh, I look fantastic!' Of course I don't.
'Nobody is perfect. I just don't believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, 'This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!' I'm proud of that.'" (Source)
