A lot of women out there have at one time or another worried about how they look in a bikini.

And Bethany Townsend was no different.The British makeup artist who suffers from Crohn's disease thought her two-piece days were behind her after she was fitted with two colostomy bags in 2010 but on a Christmas vacation in Mexico her husband Ian persuaded her to strip down.Townsend who's battled the intestinal disease since she was 3 had given up modeling after she had the bags fitted when her bowel burst and she nearly died.So finding the courage to strip down was a transformative experience and she decided to share a bikini pic with the Crohn's and Colitis UK Facebook page.She was surprised when the photo went viral being viewed by millions and says the response has been so positive that she's now planning to return to modeling part-time.
