So I have been hiding awhile and haven't really been posting but it was brought to my attention that this thread was created. And I must say I dig it ... Real people ... Real Bodies and no photoshop filters to hide the stuff![]()
So, this is our 1000th post. I told Mr. T that it was coming up, and he told me, "Make it a good one, honey."
What could be better than expressing my gratitude for such a wonderful group of supporting, affirmative people!!
We all have work to do on body image acceptance. I am always preaching to others about accepting themselves as they are, and trying to do my best, in my own little world, to stop the body shaming that is so prevalent in our culture. And yet I continue to beat up on myself, and not accept the truth of the matter which is that I am a healthy, functioning, sexual, woman, regardless of what I weigh or what my waist measurement is.
Thank you for redirecting my focus along those lines, at least for tonight. I will try to remember this every day.

Not many pics yet.
So I will play.
Usually I shoot specifically to minimize or not show my stomach.
But here's one that does show my marshmallow middle.
In spite of that fact, I liked the picture.


Honey, you sure made a splash with this thread. I'm so very proud of you and anyone with the courage to show their whole selves.

Looks like a beautiful tummy to me.Been lurking here for the past few days, and I have to say, you ladies ROCK. Being so open and honest about some of your biggest insecurities - and putting them out there in the light of day so they lose some of their power.
I've been told for many years that I was too heavy, needed to lose weight, was criticized for anything that went in my mouth that wasn't carrot sticks, and all the while my attention was called to moms on the street who had managed to lose their baby weight and stay toned. It gets to a girl after a while, yanno?
I still have issues, but I'm getting better. I know my body's not THAT BAD for someone in her mid-50s. But when I look in the mirror all I see are the flaws. So... baby steps. I've put my tummy in my profile for a little while. I have virtually no waist, which I hate. But whatever...
Love you, Honey...![]()

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your body or your tummy. Besides if all someone can do is judge another by appearance without taking time to know them then that's not much of a person. I feel the same about friends or family telling someone that they're to heavy when often as not their doctors tells them that they're just fine weight wise and are healthy.
thank you.Here. I even lay on my side, so it hung forward a little bit for the full effect.

I'm going to be a bit cruder than I normally am as I want to make a point. You are eminently fuckable just as you are. You need hide nothing. You have a very sexy body and a cock-hardening smile. Your partner is lucky.I just finished reading every post on this thread, and I have tears in my eyes. I could quote so many of your posts, but then this would be a page long.
I always used to be the "skinny one", the tall slender one. Even after my two kids.
Then came some medical issues, surgeries, and early menopause due to a hysterectomy. Even with HRT, I watched my body change before my eyes, and I didn't like it. Still dont. My skin texture changed, the underlying structure of my skin changed, so areas like my butt, my thighs, and my belly became different than they used to be. No longer did I have a flat belly where I could balance a ruler across it on my pelvic bones and see space under the ruler. My belly rounded and my middle became thicker. And that bumpy cellulite texture that no amount of exercise would get rid of just seemed to spread from my butt, to my thighs to my belly.
Of course I was much more critical of it than anyone else. No one ever rejected me in bed or otherwise because of my body flaws. Luckily my boobs still looked great, and so I always tried to dress to draw attention to them, and draw attention away from my middle.
And I tend to do that here on Lit. I post often on Titty Tuesday, but when my partner posts pictures that show my thick middle, or belly, or the creases in my middle when I sit or bend, I just cringe.
He tells me He loves the whole package, that my perception of my body flaws aren't his perception of flaws, they're just part of me. I need to learn, at age 60, for heavens sake, to just fucking accept that. I mean, I'm not going to turn back time and get that 25 year old body back, and I really don't want to. He loves my whole package, and I need to also.. He puts his hand on my butt and tells me how he loves it. He rubs and kisses my belly without qualification...it's just a part of me. If he can do that so easily, why is it so hard for me to do?
I finally, at least don't tense up when he rests his head on my belly, or gives me a massage and gets to those areas. Now I need to learn to not feel that I have to be so vigilant about cropping the pictures we post, and just letting the belly show.
But, man, it's tough.
This pic has never been viewed publicly. I've edited this post several times, wondering whether to include it or not. Here goes.

It's like the much lesser known sequel to The Full Monty. Only the true fans know of its existence. It's shown in small venues to a select group. Good thing I bought my season ticket!
