You definitely articulated what we all feel. Is it bad to give into that hungry ghost Sometimes? I definitely will sometimes post a pic knowing full well it is a thirst trap and I'm okay with that because dammit I spent too many years hating on my body and I do want people to appreciate how good I look. What does that say about me I wonder. To add another dimension to this - now as the mother of a cute baby I've had to really reflect - I'm now responsible for putting another humans image on the Internet. I have to stop and ask myself does posting this photo benefit her in any way? No. So why am I doing it? For my own vanity of course which isn't really a good enough reason...
