At this moment, my body is the heaviest it’s been since I was pregnant.
And, I just had a sassy, professional pinup photo shoot done.
These sentences don’t often go hand in hand, but I took the leap anyway.
It would have been so easy to say no. Not right now. After I lose ten pounds. (Or twenty.) After a few more weeks of running. When I’m done having babies. When I’ve got my body completely “back.” (From where exactly? Did it disappear?) At least I could’ve starved myself in the weeks leading up to the photo shoot, hoping for the skinniest possibly result…
