I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse at home, sexual harassment at school and regular raping during two of my teenage years. I have gone through anorexia and stress eating. I’ve always hated my stomach and my ginormous hips. I felt like I was fat and dirty even though I’ve never been over weight (or even close to it). I still wish sometimes that I was anorexic again for the control. I’ve become a health nut and I do juice fasts, raw vegan diets and exercise in place of anorexia.
This is my stomach after gaining 6 pounds from working a sedentary job (and becoming sedentary all the time as a result). I’ve lost most of the muscle that I worked hard to gain and gained a lot of fat that I worked hard to lose. I was unhappy with myself (and I still am a little) until I found your site. And I’m starting to grasp the idea that I might be able to like my body for what it is no matter what part of life I am in and to accept others bodies for what they are. That has been a struggle for me for most of my life even though I know that what is depicted in media isn’t normal.

“I’m Latina, and may have PCOS, which accounts for the hairiness. I weigh 230 pounds and am only 5’4” (39.5 BMI) and it was INCREDIBLY difficult not to suck in my stomach for these pictures. Thank you so much for your site. It’s so amazing to see all these different bellies, all celebrated and (I hope) loved. I submit my photos in the hope that someone else who’s maybe “obese” or “hairy” can see that something that looks like their belly is there too!”

I’m 4’11 and I weigh 135lbs (90lbs before). I have a scar from a colostomy, and a new colostomy now in another spot (see my bag?) My c-section scar is really hard to see, and too low down to show without showing my crotch. I do have a few stretch marks that you can see in one of the pictures.
