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.
