I'm really sorry, but no. For one thing, I cross-post from my blog, which doesn't have the ability to program in LJ-cuts, and it would make it much harder to make these posts, which are pretty hard for me to make already.

Also, and more importantly, for me, part of the purpose of making them was to be brave enough to talk about them in a completely public forum, without the luxury of hiding behind a cut. It's about being brave enough to talk about fitness and normal people's bodies and force them out of being a taboo subject, because I don't think they should be, and it's about being able to look at my body without allowing people to sexualize it.

So for me, putting these behind a cut would really hurt the entire purpose of taking the pictures in the first place. I think I have explained that quite a lot in the posts, so it's pretty upsetting to have someone tell me that they think their comfort should be more important to me than my teaching myself to push my own boundaries and become more comfortable with myself. I'm sorry if it means you won't read my journal, but my own personal self-improvement is really important to me and I am doing this to get over my own bugbears.
