Aw, Ozz - you are a very beautiful lady. I wish I could send you the confidence to enjoy your body as it is (btw, your new pic? I wish I looked like that! All my body issues would be solved).
When I was a youngster I hid everything under baggy clothes, ashamed of how I looked (not helped by a controlling, unpleasant ex who would go through porn mags, point at models and wish out loud that I looked like this one or that one - I was 13, he was a LOT older). It ruined my confidence and has held me back all my life.
Now, I look back and think what on earth was I thinking? I wasn't perfect, but I was perfectly normal. I SO wish I's made the most of myself back then - they say youth is wasted on the young :-D
I've also done the weight loss route - many times. I was the same weight as Frank Bruno when he had his last fight. It hit me like a train and I gave up meat (only because all the meat I ate was of the bad kind). It took a few years but I lost half my body weight. I got away with relatively few stretch marks, and oddly enough, they don't bother me in the slightest. Though I've picked up quite a few more over the years (and they're still the least of my worries).
My new body gave me more confidence, but I was still with my ex and soon his constant being down on me about being too skinny (I really couldn't win!), I started eating again, putting a lot back on. I've yo-yo'd ever since, but now have to buckle down and start eating healthy again for my health.
We only have one crack at life, hon. Don't let things that others who love you don't even see give you regrets. get out there in your new undies and blow his socks off ;-D
Haha..I do get my groove on and do dress up for him sometimes when I can be bothered..but as they say in school " could do better lol"
Geez that was a lot to take in with you and your journey! What a strong lady you are! x Are you away from the ex now? I hear you..I've had a lot on to deal with for a few mths now, and yep..I must buckle down and do more!! There's life in the old girl yet.....................just!! haha
Yep. Traded up a few years ago, thank God! Can't believe I stayed with him so long. Talk about wasted years!
Still, trying to make up for it now (apart from ill health and the odd mental health issue!). I'm lucky I have a good sex life, though - made better since finding LH and lovely people like you :-)
Ozz there's nothing wrong with your body. We all see imperfections in ourself more than they seem. It's like that dove advert we had in uk were women would describe themselves to an artist behind a screen and they would draw what they were told and then they'd get a stranger to tell the artist what that person looks like and the difference is phenomenal each picture as told by the stranger looked just like the person but the persons drawing of their own POV was nothing like they looked.
We are our own worst enemy. I look at my body and I see flab, fat, jiggly bits, bits that need a lift, bits that in my mind need altering. I don't believe when people say I'm pretty or beautiful I almost always presume they're taking the p*ss (I'm finding it a little easier now that I can be given compliments but deep down I still doubt it)
Honestly there is nothing wrong with yours or anyone else's body on here. Love yourself for you coz you are awesome
All of you ladies are stunning! I have the most boyish and childlike figure known to man, size 6, A cup, 4ft11, not even toned, still droopy and flabby. I would ADORE the womanly figures you gorgeous ladies have!
I am accepting that I will never have the body I dream of, since my partner says I am beautiful all over. Its just hard seeing for example friends who have AMAZING figures and then I feel like a child in comparison.
Well you are amazing, gorgeous and lucky you being a compact model so to speak!
But trust me you wouldn't want what I have going on in tummy dept haha! It's not a pretty site down there! I don't think we'll ever be truly happy with our lot, but accepting it is something I strive to meet head on.
Something I really don't hear from the OH is how he thinks I look! Never has been his thing! xx
Well the tummy along with every other department on your pic looks faultless!
I suppose most people will have the struggle of not being completely happy with how they look. Its kind of human nature to compare things with others. You jyst have to make a conscious effort to think "no Im great in my own way". Fake it til you make it I suppose.
I must admit my partner makes me feel 10000x more beautiful. No one has ever noticed me before him, he is my first boyfriend. Ozz, your husband should let you know youre beautiful every once in a while! Im sure he thinks you look gorgeous all the time so doesnt say anything because to him its an obvious everyday thing of "duh you look beautiful, like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that..." :)
Hopefully you find something that you're looking for. i want to buy stuff but it's hard to have parcels of sex toys and underwear come to a busy house. People WILL open it or ask what's in there. Plus i dont really have anyone to wear sexy underwear for yet. Although.... (thinking) i have a corset so the next time i'm having an online show with this gorgeous fella i might just so happen to be wearing it. See what he thinks ;) So frustrated because we were online yesterday and his phone messed up again (it's ongoing he did warn me) nothing worse than seeing someone so sexy to then seeing his phone disconnected :( It's still not working now but i sent him a photo or two of what he's missing due to his phone so i'm sure he'll reply as soon as he sees the messages (here's hoping for soon i wanna be naughty lol)
My dear, I was just thinking about you and hoping you are in a good headspace today.
I am guessing we are both a bit older, been with the same partner a long time...
even with the so called body issues it can be a bit hard to feel sexy and appreciated sometimes at home. I have found the lingerie on here helps light a spark at home when things get a bit routine and I wish you the same.
You look great in pic! I understand what you mean though cos I've lost 9 stone in weight but I still have body issues, esp with my stomach 
Holy crap! go you!!! and there I thought 3 was good! Yeah it doesn't help that I had a hyster at 27. I think my scar under the baby pooch don't help either tbh. I've toned it as much as I think it'll go back. A tummy tuck I think is looming lol x
Oh Ozz you look lovely hun, but I know how you feel with not liking what you see in a mirror. I especially hate my tummy after my c-section its never gone remotely flat. And have gained a few lbs the past year thru various meds which now I'm struggling to shift which is making me feel even more self conscious. But I keep working on it. Hope you find something that makes you feel sexy although I'm sure your oh already thinks you are.

I really am thankful for all your comments and compliments! The compliments I don't do well, but that's a whole other story for another day.
Right come on now, we've got our war wounds, stretch marks, height issues and adorable size "6" omg!! issues too. Wobbly flabby bits, too much junk in the trunk that's losing it's horizontal hold problems agreed ...yes?
