Good morning everyone! I'm still fairly new to Lit, but I pop in and out of this thread daily. I don't often post, but I really enjoy both the inner and outer beauty of the women here, and from a distance, I've grown fond of the supportive and appreciative men, too. I have lost close to 60 lbs. in the past 17 months, and I am finally becoming more comfortable with my body. Last week I experimented with some very casual self-photography. I'm not sure if I like the results. I am up in the air about posting a few photos. Up in the air means I'm nervous as hell. I was just wondering if the ladies here felt like sharing any wisdom on body image and self-confidence or could maybe offer some insight into how they felt before and after posting their images here. Were you as nervous as I am? Were your photos received warmly, and did the reaction in any way boost your self-esteem? I thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts...![]()
I was extremely wary about posting snapshots and videos of myself on here at first, then I met someone long ago and he helped me to get over that fear with my own thread; before I knew it, I was making posts every two or three days with pictures -- I'm not a confident woman in real life, but the way people treat me on this forum, I feel like an actual person to them, instead of the inadequate person people in my life have made me to believe I am.
Meeting some of the people on this forum has started to change my life after such a drastic event early last year, that I'm not really sure I know how to repay them; I'm just hoping stupid, sweet, (sometimes) sexy photos will suffice.
