44. I don't have any naked pictures (of me when I was younger)

But I do have a bunch of me in a VERY skimpy bikini... my stomach and breasts were not all saggy and stretch-marked like they are now. I was 16 years old and I smile every time I look at those pictures. I would not like to have these pictures stolen and passed around because they were taken for me, for my own personal memories)

I am now in my 40s. 5 children (two of which are twins) have taken their toll on my body. I decided to take pictures of what I look like now because I won't look like this in my 70s. They are not naked pictures (though I do have naked pictures of me when I was 8.5 months pregnant with my two 8+ lbs sons). I would not like these pictures to be stolen and passed around either. These pictures exist so that I will always remember just how huge I was and how beautiful I was at the same time.

It IS slut-shaming, pure and simple.

I hope you don't delete it, but I can understand why you would say you will.
