Bold woman believes we should all sext our girl mates… and this is the reason why
Writer Nora McInery Purmort learned to love her body after a tragic illness took her husband from her
A bold woman explained how sexting her girl mates is the perfect way to promote body confidence.
Writer Nora McInery Purmort claims that sharing the saucy snaps with her friends is not about getting validation, it's about finding time to admire herself.
Writing for Nora explained that, while at university, she learned to hate her body.
She said: "In college, I learned that thin was good, and thinner was better.
"Food was something I could smell instead of eat, and if I did accidentally ingest a cheeseburger? Three hours on the elliptical could cure that."
The brave mum-of-one went on to explain that she only started to embrace her body when her boyfriend, Aaron, openly admired her and made her feel sexy.
Tragically, Aaron was diagnosed with a brain tumour and passed away three years later, but not before the couple had married.
Nora explained that seeing his body fight to stay alive gave her a new appreciation for her own.
She said: "As Aaron's sickness took away his ability to run, to use his arms, to walk, I found the beauty in my own body.
"The girl who used to have cigarettes for dinner? She ran a half marathon. Three of them! Slow as hell, but I did it.
";And every time my feet hit the pavement, I felt grateful for everything my body could do."
She explained that despite her body staying the same - and even acquiring a "mum bum" post-child birth, there was something about losing her husband that gave her a new sense of confidence.
After Aaron's death, Nora and her friends started exchanging underwear selfies.
Initially wine-fuelled, the fun messages were an opportunity to celebrate each other's bodies.
She explained: "We respond with emoji praise hands and things like, 'I AM ACTUALLY GONNA DIE LOOKING AT UR BODY'."
She finished with a piece of inspiring advice: "I want to tell you that your body is an amazing little skin house your soul lives in, and you only get one, and you sure as hell better admire it every day.
"So grab your phone. Get to a mirror, put on , and sext your best friends. You're worth it."
