Default inspiration maybe?

evilcorgi.deviantart.com

I hope she doesn't mind that I am linking this here. But I found this girl's gallery of stock photos the other day. if you go to the browse gallery on the left, there are a trillion pictures of her. And i think on the fifth page or so shes actually in a bikini, and the pictures are completely unedited.

She says somewhere that she has lost over a hundred plus pounds. So of course, i found looking at her pictures extremely intriguing. Curious, of course. I know we are all struggling with body image issues. And worried about the end result of course.

and in 90 percent of them, she looks hot!! ---clothed and unclothed. She puts herself out there. I know we will all look different, our problems at the end will all be different. But its nice to see it out there, and flaunted. I hope I can feel that way at some point. (even though you can tell by her descriptions, shes still dealing with alot of image issues). Where I can own my loose skin and scars, and stop hating my body.

I also liked reading the comments that people left after her pictures, telling her how wonderful and so how not plastic they think she looks.

I figure everybody's gotta love a good before and after. even its just an after.

Okay, enough of that for today.

Hope everybody has a great week.

Interesting! It's refreshing to see REAL women looking and dressing and feeling sexy. You can see her stretch marks, loose skin, and yet her facial expressions and poses indicate she totally owns these characteristics and makes no apologies for it. Wouldn't it be nice to see someone like her in an advertisement somewhere?

Thanks for posting!

Her pictures are so open and honest. She is a true example of being comfortable in your own skin. I can only hope to be that confident someday. As it is, I cringe at the sight of myself in shorts!
