“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” ~ Brené Brown
I have said it so many times before but honestly, I owe so much of my body confidence to SinfulSunday and the wonderful community that welcomed me into it. I had been blogging for a few months before I reached out to ask Molly about SinfulSunday – I am so glad I did because it has allowed me to be a part of something. I have never felt I fitted in before. Always interested in something else different from everyone else. SinfulSunday was my foot in the door to really feeling like I belonged somewhere. I will be forever grateful I took that first step.

When Molly set the task for this prompt I honestly hadn’t a clue what to do with it! The light was so beautiful coming in the window the other morning that I decided to start snapping away with my morning cuppa.
What better way to celebrate than sharing a pic that never in a million years would I have ever thought I would share when I started this journey.
Lumps, bumps, body hair, unshaven legs, stretch marks, and my latest operation scars, which I am still uncomfortable about but this is me 🙂
Thank you Molly Moore for creating Sinful Sunday. Thank you for all the work you do for this community and honestly, thank you for helping me love my body again and giving me a sense of belonging. You are a wonderful human and I am thankful to call you my friend <3
Come celebrate week 500 over at SinfulSunday <3

This image is perfect for this week’s SinfulSunday. It is so you. Stylish in Black and white, beautifully focused and centred on you. Open and honest pose but soft and sexy too.

Gorgeous picture, and just right for the 500th Sinful Sunday. I think many of us feel the same way about how this meme has not only helped with body confidence, but also helped us feel a part of a wonderful community.

I love how the tea is the colour in this image, but it’s your curves and lines that bring life. Beautiful.
A truly beautiful photo. It’s amazing what an impact Sinful Sunday has had on so many people; it’s done so much good.
I find your images very inspiring and I’m so glad I get to see your gorgeous body.

So happy for Molly and for you and all the Sinful Sunday community!
This such a wonderful image of you, LSB! So relaxed, so beautiful. It is lovely to hear that you have grown in your self-confidence because you have found a space that feels accepting and welcoming!
This is so wonderfully you! And like you this project gave me a sense of belonging too,I would be lost without it.
Like all your photos, this is absolutely beautiful, and I’m so happy you feel comfortable enough to share it! It’s also a really polished piece of photography and editing – again, as your work always is.
What a wonderfully chilled out photo LSB. You seem so relaxed, and confident.
Your words gave me goosebumps! And the photo is so beautiful.
Wonderful picture, you look relaxed and glorious! Thank you for sharing.
