Been looking through this thread and it's intimidating, are these really "mom bods" ?!? Taking deep breath and dipping my toes in.
pic removed for the time being, there were some weird DM's, is that normal here?
Most people here are respectful but sadly a few do send unsolicited inappropriate DMs. I've found the majority understand that sharing photos is not an invitation to DM nor an offer of anything more.
There are several things you can do.
* There is a "leave conversation" button and "ignore further replies" button on each convo.
* You can block individual users in the forums. Click their user name, then click the "ignore" button under their name in their forum profile.
* You are never obligated to reply to DMs.
* You can write in your profile and/or your signature that you do not want unsolicited DMs.
I too was afraid the first time I posted photos. Didn't know what to expect. Fortunately, I found a friendly and welcoming group here. So many of us here have dealt with self doubt about our bodies (women and men!), about changing as we age, etc. This forum has been so healing for me in that regard. This is a public forum and you deserve safety and respect here. I hope you will stay.
