What do you do to make yourself feel sexy? I've recently gained 10lbs and I don't feel comfortable with myself. I plan on losing weight but until then I need ideas on how to feel sexy with my body.
I've recently gained weight too... I feel like something changed in my body chemistry when DD turned 9-months-old and now I really have to watch what I eat otherwise it goes right to the belly!
I try to keep my legs shaved and to keep up with regular bikini waxing. Also (and I know it's not great for my skin) but I try to get to a tanning salon once a week. Something about the heat and getting a tiny glow makes me feel great!

I know this sounds lame, but working out makes me feel sexy. Correction: sleek, powerful and sexy. Other than that, using body oils instead of lotion, specifically the Neutrogena oil that smells so heavenly and clean yet... musky and like a body? is so nice. Just keep active and spend a lot of time in the sun. Smelling the sun in my skin also makes me feel a lot more sensual and connected to the earth.
I can relate. I'm urrently a few extra pounds on me and I haven't worked out in a long time. I used to be a total gym rat, but I'm also a creature of habit and I am unable to have a gym routine since I'm a slave to DD right now.
One day I went through my closet and any clothes that made me feel frumpy were set aside for donating. I purchased new clothes that I could be comfortable in, and feel stylish at the same time.
I started paying more attention to my skin and trying to slow down the aging process. My hair is thermally straightened and colored.
I try to put on a little makeup daily because I 'll feel crappy for the whole day if I look crappy.
I try to make sure my fingernails and toes always looked maintained and I'm going to start getting airbrush tans.
I still don't feel good about myself as I used to, but I feel better.
I dont feel sexy because I lost weight to be perfectly honest. I loved myself with a little bit of curve. Now my face is so thin and almost looks sharp. I feel like I have the body of a 10 year old boy with big milk filled boobs.
Your little hands wrapped around my finger and its so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eye lids flutter cause your dreamin so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you've got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have hunny, if you could stay like that
Oh darling dont you ever grow up, dont you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling dont you ever grow up dont you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I wont let nobody hurt you, wont let no one break your heart, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up

I work out. For me I don't feel sexy until my body is where I need it to be.
Edit: Also, while I was losing my baby weight I was sure to get my hair done regularly & keep my nails/toes nice. It helped a little.
