Big hair, red lips, and cat eye sunglasses

I had 5 months to loose weight for a Boudoir photo shoot of my own, did I do it?  No....

I still rocked it!  I wanted big red hair, rep lips, and my cat eye sun glasses!

I did not make the excuse for myself that I will book it when I loose 20 pounds, or when the kids are in school, money, whatever the reason is, now is the time to do it.   I am in a constant battle with my own weight, I understand when a potential client says "I need to loose weight", I understand the feeling that you will feel more self confident when you don't feel as heavy.  But you know what feels even better?  

Doing something for yourself that makes you feel beautiful!

Boudoir is all about appreciating what you have now...if I would have waited "until"... chances are I would not have done it, and I am so thankful that I did!  I have battled with my weight since I can remember, and I would love to have lost some inches before this shoot, but I felt beautiful, and glamorous, it was all about me, and I will be planning another one!!

Yes!  I posted this photo, and guess what?  I am dam proud of it, I am proud that I undressed and posed in a bra & panties!  At one point I weighed 350 pounds, and yes I have a ways to go, each day is a struggle, each day I vow to stay healthy and make good choices, but I am so proud of myself.  I put myself out there, like I would have never done before, and when I loose more weight, I will book another session!

Don't wait "until"... you deserve to feel this beautiful too.
