I think when women become wives and mothers we loose a bit of ourselves. Not that I one hundred percent loved my body Pre-Children. But, after my kids I became more critical of it. I started dressing differently. Hiding myself in photos. I had a friend mention a new trend "Boudoir Photos". Beautiful confident women posing to show themselves as sexy and alluring in their best light.
I loved the idea of these photos. Yet always told myself "After I loose a few pounds".... "Maybe when I get rid of some of these stretch marks"... Usual things women tend to tell themselves. I do not know what made me realize it. But, one day I decided Why Not?! There is NO ideal body. I have never not once thought to myself my body is perfect. So I tried them. Not to be scandalous but to feel confident, pretty, and strong.
That is exactly what these photos did for me. They made me feel confident in my own skin. There is no perfect weight. We all need to recognize that imperfect is perfect. Why not have my cake and eat it to. I do happen to love cake. I encourage women to give it a try. Even if they are just for yourself and you do not feel comfortable sharing with the world.
The act of finding something sexy or some style I had not tried in years was liberating. The photos do happen to be suggestive with out actually showing anything. Most more covered then today's average bathing suit. Which lately I often did not feel comfortable wearing.
I was shocked how much I loved them. I am one to be my worst critic of photos of myself. I had a trusted friend take them for me. I looked through photos online to come up with ideas I thought would work best for me. It was amazing fun to just let loose and be myself.
Love your body! You curves, scars, and imperfections. Always remember you are beautiful and please never tell yourself otherwise. No matter what I want you to know I think you are all beautiful and strong women.
