This body will birth babies

Mountains and valleys

Hidden in her

Shape

Well-fed

Body

Woman

Body

Ripples, and

Lightning strikes

Streak across

her

Skin.

Married

Body

Tender

Body

Swollen with

Trust

And the choice of

Life

This body will birth babies

They will suck

Milky soft

Breast

They will rest their heads

On a round

Tummy

This body

Is

The garden of life

This body is not pregnant.

This body has gained 100+ lbs in a year from unrestricting food & eating to hunger

This body has been way more intelligent than I ever could have been.

My website is full of nude photos of me when I was thin. I did another shoot a few months in, when I had gained all the weight I thought was possible for me to gain.

9 months later I’ve gained much more and have been missing the art, the beauty of seeing my body in this way.

I have wondered – do I not do that anymore, now that I am fat?

Is that why I don’t?

But I knew it would come in its own time

And it has.
