Taking close up pictures of the stretch marks that adorn my breasts as a form of self love.

I don’t know, that’s sounds super mega-awesome in all ways to me! Inverted nipples! I mean, mine have little hairs on them and are super big and two different sizes, but they aren’t inverted. That is special and unique.
We all feel abnormal sometimes, and I know it’s hard, but I urge you to take pride in your little boobies. What you may think is awkward, someone else may find totally brilliant. Open yourself up to that very real possibility. I promise you are not really as weird or odd as you think you are.
Feeling weird about your boobs?
WELL YOU SHOULDN’T because they’re fucking brilliant.
Check out the Normal Breasts Gallery website to help you realize the full extent of breast diversity and beauty :3
Love your boobies, babies!

(cont) Do you believe saggy breasts can every be sexy or do partners just grow to accept them? I feel because of my age they should be perky ^^
Well, I am 23 years old and my breasts are by no means “perky” - they are in fact full, heavy, and completely lopsided - but they are mine, and they are loved.
All breasts are capable of sexiness.
If men have acted disgusted with your breasts or have such negative things to say about their existence - they don’t deserve to oggle, fondle, and love them. Shut that shit down.
You deserve to find someone who will love your breasts not only because they are beautiful, sexy and arousing - but because they are YOURS. And there is no reason why that can’t happen.
Things happen in their own time. Just don’t settle for anything less than you deserve, which is to be loved and respected on all fronts.

I’m afraid I don’t have any suggestions for diminishing stretch marks as I don’t recommend or condone minimizing their brilliance.
Throw some glitter on those lightning bolts and love the shit out of them.
These are my breasts and this is my body.
I am 31 years old and I had twin girls when I was 17 years old. I breastfed those little girls with them big ole saggy boobs that you see up there.
I wish that I had a photo of my breasts before, because they were pretty much the same even before I had my children. They were big and they were saggy and me and my other big boobed friend wondered what was “wrong” with ours since they were never perky.
And you know what? Up until this very year I didn’t even know that my boobs were NORMAL. I have been living all of this time thinking that there was something terribly wrong with my body and thinking that I really should save up for surgery to fix them. So for my entire life since puberty I have been hating my own body (which is a friggen super awesome body that can do loads of awesome stuff) was not normal and was wrong and needed to be fixed.
I had originally submitted my photo at chubby-bunnies, but with the mention of “real boobs” earlier I thought it was a great time to share again now!
These boobs are real, they are NORMAL and pretty damn awesome!
i think each of my boobs weighs at least 7 pounds each i am so afraid of old age jesus what will they look like then oh god
They will look like awesome bewbs that will have gone through all the best kinds of things! I can’t wait to document my titty transformation. I’m totally going to. The world needs more photos of legit boobs.

TW: self harm
Please try not to compare yourself to other people. Your journey is your own, your situation is unique, as is your body, your health, your condition…everything. Comparing yourself to other people will only set you up for the perfect opportunity to continue hating on yourself.
I used to fantasize about slicing away the fat on my body. I really did, I hated it that completely. I would grab all my fat, squeeze it into a bulge, and imagine slicing it right off. That was a long time ago, before I found fat acceptance.
I am not perfectly proportioned, but honestly - fuck proportions. Hourglass shapes are portrayed as an ideal, even among fat women. Just know and trust when I say that there is NO ideal. All body shapes are perfect.
I mean, I’ve got a flat backside with a “crooked” bum crack that my family has enjoyed tormenting me about my entire life. I’ve got heavy, droopy breasts and belly fat that spills over the top of my jeans. I’ve got a waist that comes in too high, “shortening” my torso. I’ve got wide hips, thick stocky legs and small feet. I’ve got broader shoulders and thicker arms than most men.
These are things that are unique to me, that have been hard to accept, but as I’ve progressed through my body acceptance journey, I have grown to own and love them.
I can’t tell you what to do. I can only tell you to stop being hard on yourself and open yourself up to learning new things and thinking in new ways about yourself and other bodies.
