I did not always feel beautiful once I picked up the weight. I started putting on the pounds after I had children and then being in a stressful relationship I started eating my feelings away. It took me awhile and with the support of strong empowering women that I realized that “living large” was only a problem if it were affecting my health.

With time I realized that I needed to be comfortable with who I was at the time or I would continue to use food as a drug. It was a slow process that took one day at a time, but I did it. My goal was not to get skinny, but to learn to love myself and not wait for someone else to show me love.

When I took this self-assessment the truth was it had been a very long time since I had shown my hair, or nails any special attention. This doesn’t mean going out and spending money you don’t have, but picking up a bottle of your favorite color, and filing and polishing your own nails. I started to sit in the tub longer playing my favorite music. Not the music that made me feel sad, but the music that uplifted my spirit. Slowly but surely I started to feel better about myself and I no longer avoided long looks at myself in the mirror.

As I observed my body I saw what I thought were flaws and what I wanted to improve on not what others thought I should work on. I read a lot about working on my inside and how to buy appropriate clothing that did not make me feel bloated.

I began to eat healthier slowly replacing my bad eating habits. My goal again was not to become skinny, but I did want to breathe and move around much better. Before you knew it I began to have a glow about myself and as I walked down the street I had my head up higher than ever before because I felt beautiful. I am a plus size woman, with a big beautiful smile and a man who loves me for who I am. I still eat my ice cream, but I don’t have to have three.

When I am in the store I take the time to try on as many clothes as I have to. I will not purchase any item that I think does not accentuate my figure. If I love the outfit, but the fit is not right it stays in the store. To help me working on feeling good about myself it is important for me to like what I see not being happy with what I have on would not aide me in satisfying that goal.

Heads up women allow your spirit and your confidence to be as bold as you are beautiful.
It is your thoughts about you that matters. Tell yourself you are special, beautiful, and worthy until you believe it, and when you believe it you will notice the thought will have become a great feeling.

I have my own business and I need to feel comfortable about myself if I expect to present a good image for my company. All the work I have done on the inside has paid off and has allowed me to help others feel good about themselves by selling products that help others feel beautiful. They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” what do you want to see?

Live Large!
