I have been ok with myself naked at most points in my life (not all though). I actually have long believed I look better when things fall where they will so to speak vs. trussed up in clothing.
I know I am an oddity though.
Do I have hangups? Of course! It might be different if I'd never had my weight fluctuate more than 5 lbs, or didn't have a couple stretch marks from said fluctuations (no matter the reason for the fluctuations the marks remind me). Not to mention the occasional small scar from this life event or that life event.
I am human and marred in minor ways here and there but at this point in my life I have come to accept those little imperfections as part of myself.
I've never pretended to be anything but what I am. Curvy, sexually charged, and typically very playful. :wink2:
I just wish there was a way to empower more women to embrace themselves and be proud of their positive features. I do know I have impacted a number of women (young and old) whom I have been around over the years and they now feel more confident. I also know that I have friends who have remarked how wonderful I look in X item but they would never be comfortable enough to even try putting X on. Eventually I talk them all into it, find the right version of X and voila! They wear it all with the pride they should have.
I've got a couple naked pics I was going to post but you said no naked pics so I will keep those for myself. :biggrin2:
