Thank you, Destiny! That is part of what I wanted to do it. I think that we all get hung up on our bodies and it's hard because most of the bodies we see in photographs that aren't clothed bodies are airbrushed or pretty idealized forms to start with. Posting pictures of my normal body makes me feel better about my own goals as attainable goals and is making me feel more comfortable with looking at myself-- looking at photos makes me feel a lot more forgiving than looking in the mirror. I also feel like putting myself out there like this is my way of saying, "look, I can put on shorts and a bra and not feel like I'm being sexualized by it." I hope it encourages you! And it would be neat to see more normal bodies on the internet.
