Today, on Valentine’s Day, you might be feeling less than sexy. You might have looked in the mirror and instantly started critiquing the way that your hips are too big or your stomach isn’t flat or whatever it is that you see. QUIT IT!
First of all, you are beautiful. Your body is amazing. You are here for a purpose.
Second of all, Valentine’s Day is the leading day of sex in this country. More people are having sex today than any other day of the year. That’s a lot of pressure.
Third of all, if you want to, do it! If you don’t, have a conversation with your partner about why you don’t want to. If it’s about body image, please say yes to sex.
I find myself doing it occasionally, I’m sure you do too. You put on the favorite lingerie of your man’s then you look in the mirror and think, “no way is he going to want me in this”. Then you talk negatively to yourself and make yourself feel terrible. And that makes love making go less than perfect. Right?!
I said a similar something to My Forever one time when I wasn’t feeling too sexy. He told me two very important things: I was indeed sexy and I was wearing his favorite thing so he wasn’t looking/thinking at anything but how excited he was that I took the time and effort to put on his favorite thing because that meant for sure he was getting lucky. Second, he told me that if he didn’t think I was sexy, he wouldn’t want to have sex with me and he really wants to.
There’s a lot of ways for our men (and women) to find sex somewhere outside of our marriages. Why do we think that we’re not good enough? Your spouse loves you. Your spouse wants to make love to you. Your spouse isn’t thinking about the weight we want to lose. Your spouse is thinking about how lucky he’s about to get. Quit second guessing and sabotaging yourself.
You are beautiful. You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough. Never ever let anybody tell you differently. You are worth having sex with. You are worth putting on the lingerie. You are worth doing all the things because you want to. You are worth it. Sister, quit letting people in the cheap seats have an expensive spot in your life. They aren’t worth it, but you are! Love yourself and your body.
