I feel so unsexy. Most of the time, I feel lumpy and unattractive. I wander around the house in pj's, t-shirts, and stretch pants. I don't wear make-up. Not even to go out. I don't wear heels or fancy shoes of any kind, and I've even lost interest in switching purses to match my outfits. (gasp!)
Now, I used to be a sexy beast. Really - I was. I went from 305 pounds to 220 in one year. I felt amazing, looked amazing and knew it. I was a sexy beast. Rawr.
What happened to her? Well, she gained all that weight back, plus a few pounds. Gradually, over the last 2-3 years, I have packed on the pounds, and lost my interest in being good looking. I don't put lotion on my dry skin, don't wash my face, and I can barely muster up the strength to shave my legs. I'm beginning to think that I think that I don't deserve to be sexy. That fat must not be beautiful. That overweight people don't deserve to look good.
Screw that. I'm still hot. I still have an amazing rack, gorgeous eyes, and a beautiful face. My husband still wants to make love to me - so he must think I'm still good looking. Screw the world and their preconceived notions of what beauty is. I'm so sorry I don't have the body of an anorexic 12 year old - and I truly hope I never do. Bite me, Mary Kate Olsen.
I'm going on a date tonight. I'm dressing up. I'm shaving my legs and wearing the red lipstick my husband likes me to wear. And I'm gonna shake it like jello. You don't like it - close your eyes.
I'm back.

Well said. Enjoy your night out. 99% of beauty is in how we look at ourselves, sounds like you've got the right idea!
OMG I love it! You go get er done girlfriend! Great words for sure!
Woowee!
You are QUITE the hot n' sexy mama! And no matter how you look (now or later) you STILL deserve to be loved and beautiful.
Shake it.
Shake it like a polaroid picture. :)
hahhhahaha! love it!
LOVE IT!
You go girl!!! You are beautiful, inside and out. The world's view of beauty has been distorted for a long time. Real, down to earth people see the beauty in each other and themselves... just like you do!!! I love your determination! Seize the day girl!!

I am soooo proud of you. If you can love yourself, it won't matter what other people think. They don't matter. That's not to say you will have a "bad hair day", but you are worth it!!!!!!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, it!!!! Have a great time!
WOOOHOOO! You look amazing with or without make-up. 305 or 220 doesn't matter as long as you rock that red lipstick.
I hope you got your saxy on lady!!!
Awesome attitude!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! Great!! WOOHOOO!!! I really can't say anything else!!! I am trying to develop that sense of myself.. it is a long hard battle as it is easier to not... but again I am trying every day!!

Bite Me MKO = ROTFLMAO!!!
You so totally rock, Ms. McGee.
Just keep at it.
I don't like it.
I LOVE it!
Good for you! I struggle with those very same feelings for the very same reasons! Several years ago I lost 140 pounds, but I ended up putting about 80-90 pounds of it back on again. I'm back on track trying to get it off again, but I still struggle so much with feeling like I'm not sexy any longer and just end up wearing frumpy potato sack clothes hoping to hide. Thanks for the wake-up call that I need to embrace my inner sexy!!
You rock it girl! You do have beautiful eyes and with or without makeup you're sexy!
You're such a hotass!
