Teri says her Facebook photos have left her feeling more liberated than ever. "You feel like: 'Isn't that the person you want to be loved? That's the friend ... that's the partner I want to be in a relationship. That's the mom I want to be,'" she says. "Really, that's what's important."

While Teri says beauty has its place in life, it's not everything. "Listen, I love looking at all the glamorous pictures. That's fun too," she says. "I think if we can accept the truth behind it and reveal the mystery, then we can enjoy both things."
