    Lovely site This was something that really helped with my body image, finding pictures of other women with similar weights and measurements and looking at their photos... It helped me see my body for what it actually is, not how I think it to be.

    I do wish that site were simply called "what women look like" though... I still feel like by implying that real woman look a certain way is a bit wrong.. still feels somewhat judgmental to me.... I like seeing everyday women though, makes a lovely change from the images we are usually bombarded with

    Thanks for sharing Onyx!

    (ps. Blackduckies - google "stop hating your body tumblr" most of the pics there are with less clothing, some are confronting, but there is a lot of triggering stuff wrt harm/eating disorder etc, but nonetheless a great site for promoting body love ETA: maybe try "curve appeal" as well )

    blackduckies, I'm with you. I haven't had kids yet, but i did lose a lot of weight when i was younger. Whilst i may appear to look ok with clothes on, clothes off is a whole different story! I would like to see more body (in a non-creepy way )
