I just fell in love with my naked, body

Yup….I did!

So as you guys know I'm a GLAMOUR/BOUDOIR photographer! Which I LOVE! I love getting women (Especially) in front of my camera and show them how beautiful they are!

You guys would think I would be immune to the self-esteem doubts, but I am not.

So last week I had this girl in my studio, who by society's standards - had an amazing body.

Although our shoot was fun and we had a great time…it still kind of made me feel insecure when I thought about it A LITTLE bit haha.

I know right , crazy.

And I was like dang……I dont really look like that.

Until I went to the bathroom today and yall know I LOVE wearing rompers. The greatest thing about wearing rompers i that you literally have to be naked when you go use the bathroom haha.

And I sat down and looked over at myself in the mirror. No makeup on. Just a wig, and my beautiful body.

And I was like…….omg…..I am really beautiful.

My body is incredible. It has these 2 beautiful curves, and a gorgeous tummy. And the BEST of all of it - I look RADIANT and happy!

Literally a smile…your soul smiling through you is the most beautiful thing ever. And that comes from when you are truly fulfilled and HAPPY with you! Which I definitely am today, because I've been doing all the things I love!

I looked over and I was like omg wow. And I started taking pictures lol. Which I am not going to share at this exact moment in time, but soon.

It just blows my mind because the only time I used to take pictures of my body was only before I started working out a lot. So I just wanted a “before” picture to show myself how fat I was :(

But this time…today. It was different. I took a picture because I thought it was beautiful.

And yes, I have fat on my body. Yes…I do.

you are not a f*cking number on a scale

I originally was going to title this: “I just fell in love with my fat, naked body.” But I realized that my body isnt fat….it HAS fat on it.

Then I thought I would name it: “I love my body, even though I am fat.”

But I realized that that's not true either. I am not fat……..I'm FATIMA.

And I'm not saying that in denial of weight or anything.

I say that in FULL ACCEPTANCE of me!

You are not a f*cking number on scale. You are not how little calories you ate. You are you, a beautiful, perfect, whole excited being.

I am Fatima. And yes, I have fat on my body. But I also have hair, blood cells, organs……tissue…..EVERYONE FREAKING DOES! ITS A BODY! ALL BODIES HAVE FAT ON THEM!

So let's stop focusing on the fat, and focus on the PERSON.

Because thats who you truly are.

YOUR BODY Is miraculous

And today I let all my body issues go and I was just like damn, what a beautiful amazing body. It's birthed humans….it's cared for people. It's brought me through every year of my life. It can take a pounding ;) and it can hug, hold and make people feel warm. And I love to hold me and touch me.

I think this is what falling in love with yourself really feels like
