Us plus size women, we have it hard. We are constantly scrutinized for the way we look! It's not fair but hey don't let that bring you down GF.
I struggle with it everyday but I refuse to let that struggle bring me down. Here are a few inspirational tips I have to really be confident in your body that target not just yourself esteem but also understanding your body.
1. Believe!
You've got to believe that you are the best that you can be. You have to believe in yourself even at times when you're discouraged you have to believe you are BEAUTIFUL. But honestly, you really are.
2. Don't let the bad days determine the good days!
Of course, we all have those bad days where you feel disgusting, you feel like a whale, nothing looks good on and everything people have been saying negatively about you is right. We all have those days but try not to dwell on them. Take it with a grain of salt and move on because none of those things I just said are true and I don't want you to think that way. If you let those bad days determine the mood for your good days your not letting room in to enjoy life.
3. Understand your shape!
When it comes to finding clothes that make your body look great you really have to understand your shape. Not all plus 6. women are created equal. That's a very common misconception. Some women are top heavy, some a bottom heavy some are hourglass shaped, and some are apple shaped. You really have to understand your body and find your best assets. Once you'v found them, USE THEM! If you're top heavy show a little cleavage (tastefully of course). Understanding your shape will help you find the right clothes that look most flattering on your body.
4. Be Real!
Be realistic sweetie, don't buy a size 12 knowing full well you're a size 18. You have to be real with your size, embrace it. Because if you don't then the people around you wont either. Br proud in your body girl!
5. Take that compliment and run with it!
Now if someone compliments your on how you look. Dwell on that (not obnoxiously) but take it and run with it, don't let go of it because when those bad days come around like I mentioned above you're going to need to remember that someone thinks you're amazing. So keep that compliment in your back pocket for when you need it.
6. Your weight doesn't determine who you are!
Who gives a shit that you're PLUS SIZE! No, seriously. That doesn't change you at all. That doesn't change the person you are on the inside. You are beautiful, you are smart and your are YOU! NEVER let anyone make you feel like less of a person because you're plus sized.
7. Pick out your perfection, not your imperfections!
Stop poking at your imperfections. Instead pick out those things that make you beautiful, the things that are unique and the things that make you smile. Don't beat yourself up about things that you don't like about your body. If you don't like something fix it.
I hope this is helps those of you that are struggling with confidence. Remember, you are BEAUTIFUL!
