Hello Sun Devils. I discovered this site not long ago. I had been searching for a resort/spa that primarily focused on women, not sure how I found this. Without writing a novel, I am early 50's, empty nester, divorced but have a boyfriend of several years. I have never felt good about my body, and my ex-husband made me feel even worse. Other than my ex, boyfriends, doctors...and high school gym class...no one has seen me nude. My youngest moved out last year and since then I have spent some time alone trying to figure out who I am. I am so tired of feeling bad about myself. Unfortunately I have passed those traits on to my children. My own mother always focused on body image, or lack of. In the 70's I did the no bra thing, and wore halter tops. But for years I have kept my body covered. I would like to hear from other women that have been on this same journey. I am considering signing up as a member. I am not ready for a social event in the nude, but perhaps I can take a few steps towards that. I have never let anyone take any nude pictures of me. But last week I went out to my woods I did my own pictures with the self timer. I was so nervous, but felt so liberated. I did not show my face in any because I can not confide in friends or family yet. I can not risk anyone that knows me, seeing me. I don't want criticism or negativity right now. I did take a big step and sent a few pics to Vera. That was major for me. I am not ready to be so open with things like the pics I have seen here. I just know that I have to be proud of myself, and feel better about myself. |
