Embracing Beauty at 60
You don't have to wait until you are the right weight for a photoshoot. The way you see yourself is not determined by a number.
We are worthy of loving and respecting ourselves now.
Becky would tell you that it is still an adjustment to realize she has lost weight, even after losing 70 pounds. She isn't even at her goal weight but decided to have her photoshoot anyway.
What motivated you to join the 40 over 40 project?
Uncovering a new self at 60! I've lost 70 pounds. I was moved by Sarah's words about beauty and wanted to appreciate myself and inspire others.
What's the best part of being over 40?
Being grateful for small things; becoming comfortable in my own skin. I'm still working on the final part of this.
If you could give your younger self advice, what would you say?
You are uniquely you! Perfect in that way. Be as good to yourself as you are to others; love matters.
How did the photoshoot impact you?
It helped me see myself as beautiful again and jumpstarted letting go of self-judgement.
Would you like to share anything to help others?
