My mum ensured that by the time I was 17 I knew how to make the best of myself, physically, and my dad helped give me confidence in myself and my abilities that never left me.

What does it matter what you look like naked? When I got married I weighed just under 7 stones. I had a decent bosom and no bum. Well, have a look for yourself.

Brilliant post
