Plus Sized and Curvy is Beautiful TOO- Part 3 - Acceptance

It has been three years since I have done this. This post is basically going to be about acceptance because many of us cannot be happy with our bodies, skinny girls might complain about having small boobs (unless they get surgery) but it could be you might think your arms, legs, stomach face is too big or too small. No one is perfect and in a way I have come to accept that. I will never look like Rihanna or Beyonce and strangely enough I am fine with that.

Body image- All over from the television, magazines, music, celebrities and even our families and friends it is seen as skinny (size 8-12) is the only size that is beautiful and why most of us want to be size 8 is because we believe that losing all that weight will result in a life changing experience. The branding and marketing is amazing. I have fallen for it so many times and...

When you fall for it you imagine yourself in that person's body and you don't even notice your own.

Anyways, it took me a long time to realise that I am actually quite sexy...ohmygoshh...But I think that I am beautiful and have some good features. I love my stomach, I don't have washboard abs but it's actually quite curvy and flat....I do have a bit of love handles but I still love my stomach.

I used to hate showing my legs because I always thought that I had massive calves....but now I wear skirts and dresses and all that good stuff and I think it was probably what I wore because now I am shopping and wearing fashionable clothes and tight stuff that works for my figure (not me after I drop a dress size.) I actually went shopping today and I am mostly a size 18 (uk), nooo. I have been a size 16 for like 5 years.

But no matter what size when I go out I will look amazing, no one knows my size except me and maybe the clerk but will they remember my face,noo. If you look good, feel good. That's all that matters. Pow.

In all I am just taking care of myself, my hair's done, nails done, clothes and shoes on point. It's the little things that make a difference and before I never used to make an effort and I would think that it would magically transform me into a princess...but in reality we have to make the changes ourselves and have fun whilst doing it.

I don't even know what this post is about but just learn to love yourself and if you don't like what you see, accept it and the change will come.
