Nothing not to like... You are beautiful! Embrace it!And my first "I'm gonna like me" pic....
Wow! What a great first pic. Admittedly I was expecting something else...you look awesome...and love your leggsss too! I think I'm going to like you tooAnd my first "I'm gonna like me" pic....
All of my life I have struggled with accepting and even embracing my body. After years (okay decades!) of feeling fat, of dealing with people telling me how pretty I would be if I just lost weight, of losing and gaining and losing and gaining the pounds, I have decided that even though I am a work in progress I need to accept myself as I am. As I am right now. Instead of focusing on a future (and what I always think of as a "better") version of me, I need to learn to be content with who I am right now. So to that end I am taking a deep breath and I am gonna to post those pictures that make me feel good, that make me smile, that make me think that maybe, just maybe, I am okay as I am.
So, here goes nothin'....

Beautiful shot! And good for you embracing yourself and thank you for sharing you.And my first "I'm gonna like me" pic....
Thank you to everyone who responded! I'm trying to just accept the compliments without my standard reply of "it's all good angles and lighting". Then again that's the purpose of this thread of mine, right? To embrace myself and have fun. So to that end, this looks like a fun, albeit slightly terrifying, first step.

Spent all night wrestling with this pic. But after a few PMs where people doubted my account of being overweight and in the interests of staying true to the concept of being honest and learning to love myself I think it's important for me to post it. This is truth. This is me. Right now. And while a part of me wants to justify it, to explain it, to apologize for it, I'm not going to. I'm gonna just post it and let it speak for itself...
*deep deep breaths*
It's just a number. What matters is how you look and how you feel and you look sexy.
And, you have glamorous toenails!
It is just a number and I am trying desperately hard to remind myself of that. But it's a BIG number. lol. It's a number that symbolizes everything that I have been told is wrong with me. What I'm trying to accept is that for good or bad, it's my number. It may change and it may not but either way, it's mine and I need to accept it.
Thank you for the encouragement in that endeavor.
