I have had another crisis of mood and self-confidence. I know most of the triggers but that still doesn’t mean I can avoid it. This one has been intensified by an online shopping gamble that went wrong. The dress should have fitted and it came nowhere close. Suddenly I was left loathing myself, unable to see any beauty and wishing for days gone by.
I wanted that feeling of seeing myself and liking what I saw. That time and place where, whether I knew it at the time or not, I could find aspects of my physical self that were good. Aspects like this:
My legs are short but I still think they look gorgeous in this image.
The silly thing is, my spiralling mood tells me that those days are past and have gone forever. My destructive inner voice couldn’t be more wrong because that image isn’t the past. It hasn’t gone. That image is today and even in the dark spiral of my mood, the vibrant reality is here.

Looking pretty good to me! And online ordering is a minefield isn’t it?
Gorgeous photo-short dress and great legs!
I think they are gorgeous too, as the rest of you must be. I like the shoes.
Our inner voices can be a real PITA at times.
Hope you feel better soon – you already know what I think. 😉
Gorgeous legs!
Your legs are absolutely gorgeous, as is the rest of you! I know how harsh our inner voices can be (I have to silence mine at least once a day) but I also believe that we eventually learn to accept ourselves as we are. It’s a process we all have to go through… you are absolutely gorgeous, Honey!

Yes this is a beautiful, beautiful photo!!!
Oh, and I hate ordering on-line . . . the variance in sizing from style-to-style, let alone manufacturers etc. is always so difficult. And . . . besides which . . . I LOVE the browsing and the feeling and the trying-on. I find it a therapy that always makes me feel better than when I started!!!

Love the color, the sassy-ness I see in the pose
As I told you last night you have fucking fabulous legs! In fact you looked absolutely stunning all round last night. I am sorry to hear you are struggling to see it but maybe knowing that others can see it might help a little

Great legs, indeed! Love these photos, and thank you for sharing them!
As much as I love on-line shopping, no crowds and more time, I hate how different the sizing can be. It’s infuriating!
I’m sorry it’s got you down but you really are gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous sexy legs….
