The 33-year-old man posed in a full-length mirror for the black and white selfie, his hand on his hip and his hair flowing over one shoulder.
She wrote, “Do you know when you are home alone and do you realize that you would be happier in a warm coverall than your pajamas stained with ketchup and cat food?”
“ And it’s not about a boy or a photo shoot or weight loss before and after, it’s just for the feeling of joy you get from dressing your one and only body shape in pleasant fabrics, the unique pleasure of admiring the twists and turns of the body that loves the devil outside of you even when you don’t like it.
She continued, “I have never called myself a ‘positive body’ because my relationship to my curves and scars is not overtly political – it is extremely personal. And it is not always positive.

We only have each other, so we have to stay together. And sometimes it means a little lace to remind him that I care. To other people living with # endometriosis, I learned more from you than I can even explain … #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth ‘
