Torso Exposed

Okay - at this point I cannot even remember who started this blog trend, but it is amazing!  I knew as soon as I read the first one (Arms Exposed) that I would participate and reading everyone else's has been inspiring as well.  My arms are my #1 trouble zone, meaning that even at my goal weight I feel my arms are slightly disproportionate, however I can always deal with larger arms.  Never have had a problem showing them.  Now...my biggest insecurity is my stomach/torso area.  My back has fat rolls now (Yuck!) and my stomach pokes out entirely too far.  In fact I had to take these photos several times because I suck my tummy in unconsciously and it took me a while to really let it all hang out for a "real" photo!  My goal is to wear a 2 piece bathing suit this summer with confidence and feel and look good.  Whelp here goes...my fat filled, stretch marks on the side, back fat torso!  163 lbs...

    You're so brave! I'm far from ready to expose myself that way, lol.

    Yoy are brave. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to post some pics. It is a great way to see your progress.

    Oh I am so proud of you! I think this kind of exposure does help us accept ourselves, don't you? And really I would LOVE to have your torso :)

    Awesome pictures - seriously! That does take guts I totally understand, and I'm proud of you!
    I WISH my torso looked like that (and my stretch marks would put yours to shame ; )).
    I can't wait to see the comparison shots when you get to your goal, too!

    Thanks for being so brave and sharing these photos. I haven't gotten that far yet, maybe I will soon. I'm trying to get to 163lbs so I think you are doing great! Pictures are good to have so you can look back and see how far you are progressing.
