Brittany Gibbons, a mother-of-three who spent years insecure about her body, decided to set herself a challenge between the sheets after her husband pointed out that he hadn't seen her 'totally naked for years'.
The size 16 blogger, who says she was 'horrible at intimacy', resolved to have sex every day for one year in order to curb her lack of self-confidence - which she says was ruining her love life.
'My husband is gorgeous and very, very sexy, but the issues we were having in the sack were all me,' the 32-yeat-old from Toledo, Ohio wrote on her blog, Brittany, Herself.

'I could not shut my insecurity off, and sex quickly became a really anxiety-inducing experience that went one of two ways,' she added.
Mrs Gibbons, who disliked her stomach, her thighs, how she looked laying on her back and 'a myriad of irrational things,' said she spent years avoiding sex by using excuses like 'I have cramps. I have too many deadlines. Gigi is too scared to sleep alone let's bring her in the bed with us.'
She said she also tried to explain to her husband, Andy, why she felt so insecure, which made her feel 'like a horrible asshole' when he asked her why him saying how pretty she was wasn't enough.
