The majority of us, will, as time goes on, regain some weight. For me, it’s slightly more fraught because I lost weight in the first place (circa 2015) for health reasons. It’s 2021, and after a pretty ridiculous year for us all (and let’s be honest, before that by about six months) I gained about… Continue reading Gaining Weight

My Story: Self Image and Weight
I wanted to share a bit about my own experiences. I started buying lingerie…I’m not really sure when or why anymore.

I’m 5’8″ and at my heaviest (between 2012 and 2015) weighed about 90kg (about 200lbs for my American friends). I’ve always been in a bit of a catch-22 because… Continue reading My Body, My Confidence

I wear lingerie because it helps me feel and project the self-confidence that took me years to actualize. I am not skinny. I… Continue reading An Introduction
