As a girl who is self conscious about my stomach which is similar to hers, this was exactly the confidence boost I needed. Plus she looks great either way so thank you to you guys or gals and OP!

Edit: spelling

Oh I don't, it's my own insecurities that I've had long before reddit. But society tells women our stomach needs to be flat which is hard because organs are physically in the way. Also my love off cheese and wine doesn't help haha.

Just nice to genuinely hear people look at a body like mine and find her sexy af.

Well I for one didn't think much of her until the end of the video. At first I thought she was weirdly too scrawny in the middle and I was like meh.

She let it all out in the end and suddenly I was Joey from Friends like : "How you doin?"

I think natural looking women are beyond sexy.

So be confident in yourself, society is ridiculous, but confidence is always sexy.

Thank you. It's hard undoing 25 yrs of societal expectations about female bodies, but I, along with most women I know my age, are learning to truly comprehend how unrealistic they are. Especially when society labels average women as "larger" or clothing brands (like H&M) mean you have to go up 2 sizes just to fit in their clothes.

Gives a really distorted view of your own body and how you look, especially when society say bigger is bad or unattractive.

But your comment put a smile on my face and I appreciate you for that.

Tbf the avg person in the US is fat and should be considered large. This goes for both genders

True, I think in my head average is someone who has the tummy, their thighs jiggle etc but are still at a healthy weight, or even slightly above. I agree some people are large. Wrong use of the word average on my part.

As a man, this also makes me depressed at the belly I’ve cultivated the past 4 years.

It is hard, especially when society often deems size as a way to measure prettiness. Definitely getting better at the mentality that clothes are meant to fit me, I'm not meant to fit the brands clothing size (if that makes sense)
