    Getting past the insecurity is something all women struggle with. Until I was 25 I never weighed more than 88 lbs (except for when I was preggo, then I went up to a whole 116 and 3 weeks later was back to 88). You don't get any extras at 88 lbs, no boobs no butt, so I was insecure about the tiny boobs and non-existent ******. When I did FINALLY start gaining weight it ALL seemed to go to my tummy, not in a nice jelly belly way but in a "are you pregnant" way, lol. It's still that way, although I have finally at 128 lbs finally gotten some T&A. There are still things that I would change about my body, but somewhere around 40, I stopped being insecure about it. You can learn to accept your body WITHOUT thinking it's perfect. Took me 40 years to realize sexy is as Maya Angelou says in Phenomenal Woman "Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips... It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing of my waist, And the joy in my feet... It's the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I am woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me."
    I didn't quote the whole thing, but you can get the idea.

    Sexy and desirable are completely internal, but if you FEEL them, they shine through REGARDLESS of what you look like. You do not have to be 100% confident in yourself to feel 100% sexy and desirable. Wanting and being willing to accept another's touch and gaze is where it's all at. It's a glorious circle and I hope you'll find your way to it sooner rather than later.

    Also, for some practical advice. get some easy access clothes. Ones that can show off his favorite bits, cover your least favorite bits and allow for getting busy while wearing them. My favorite is a cupless bra, crotchless panties and a short wrap dress. You can go from looking nice but decent, to OMG hot just by adjusting the top of the dress to expose most or all of your cleavage (no matter how big or small that cleavage is) and then let the games begin.

      As long as he's getting an erection you're good to go. A cheerful and playful attitude will go a long way to make up for any "imperfections" you think you might have.

        When I was young I was crazy insecure. And I had a GREAT body, one I would give an eye tooth to get back. I have now have had 2 kids and about 20 lbs heavier and 20 more years of age on me and am less insecure than I was then. Of course I am still insecure about my body, but I have enough age on me now to not give as much of a d*!n! I also know that real men care way less about a few stretch marks than you might think.
