Taking a deep breath....

I don't know about bravery and determination. Right now I am fighting the urge to delete delete delete! lol

Please don't delete. It's a very powerful picture. I think it's a very wonderful picture of a very beautiful person, thank you, :rose:
 
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...

Oh ffs! You’ve had people PM’ing you about this? God, I hate this place sometimes... you don’t have to prove anything to anyone; you don’t have to justify you; you are beautiful and strong and kickass... I know this because only a kick ass woman could have posted that first pic...

You really are beautiful, :heart:

Oh! I didn't mean for it to sound like that. No one was mean or judging. I just received a lot of "you don't look fat/overweight/etc" messages. And I guess I just felt the need to make people see it, to put it all out there. Ya know?

And from you, I will totally take the kick-ass compliment. The way I see it, it comes from a kick-ass woman. So thank you. :rose:
 
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. :kiss:

Firstly, Allia is right, you didnt need to prove your weight or anything else to anyone here, you are what you are and if others don’t accept it they don’t have to be here.

The number is yours to do with what you will, how can it be a symbol of everything you have been told is wrong with you. Why can’t it be a symbol of everything that is right with you. The number is just the same. You need to look at the positives. Yes if the number reduces and you are happy with that, then all well and good, if it stays the same or increases and you are still happy with that, it has nothing to do with anyone else and you don’t need to prove if it changes to anyone.

As I said earlier after you posted your first pic, you have a beautiful body.
 
Joining these previous posts, I don't need Abby numbers to know and tell you you are beautiful!
Love,

Opps! Did I get a little over defensive on your behalf? :rolleyes:

Sorry, I don’t like the idea of anyone feeling they have to share their weight, or indeed anything else they’d prefer not to share, you carry on doing you, you are fabulous, :heart:

You raise a good point. I guess because I've been listening to the wrong people for far too long. Thank you. :kiss:

Please don't apologize. You made a very good point. No one should be made to do or share something they would rather not. I wouldn't say I wanted to necessarily. Just felt that I needed to lay it all out there. For good or bad.
 
Great start blulilacgrl! :) Your first picture was very artistic, and first thing I noticed is you have amazing lips.
 
Was there a number there?? I was trying to catch the reflection going up 😎... Kidding. Everyone here is absolutely right. It's an insignificant number. We all have a number. Whether it be weight, height, IQ or credit score, none of them define us. What matters is how we see ourselves and the imoact we make on others. Based on the comments in this thread, you have made a hugely positive impact on everyone. I see bravery, boldness intelligence and yes, profound beauty. You are far more than any damn number on a scale.

I totally agree with Allia! You are strong, sexy, beautiful, and gaining confidence! You are just beginning to show your strengths and confidence! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to read and see more!

Nice toes!

Never even looked at the numbers.
 
Thank you so much for sharing. You are absolutely stunning. Such gorgeous lips.
The scale picture is very powerful. I think it shows that sexy isn’t dictated by a number or constrained to a narrow range.

Well , good morning, everyone
 
And you thought your inbox was full before!

Believe it or not, my inbox has not been terribly flooded. I had been warned that I would probably be inundated with dick pics the minute I started an AmPic thread but the messages I have received have been remarkably encouraging and respectful. Goes a long way to me continuing this little thread. :)
