Plus Size Positivity

Plus size positivity is a topic I see frequently throughout social media nowadays. And I'm not normally one to jump on the band wagon however recently I've made a few discoveries that I'd like to share!

Yes I am plus size! Have I accepted it like all these other positive plus size role models...?

My answer is simply no! 

For someone who's always been the 'big girl' in most circumstances, I feel I've just adjusted to it. I was always the girl who just made jokes out of the name calling and never let it get to me. But guess what.. it always does in the end.

But I've grown up!

Don't get me wrong I haven't 100% accepted my body and will be carrying on losing weight. But I've found a confidence from the clothes I wear.

You CAN be plus size and still look and feel HOT!

And it's easy to achieve..

Simply wear what the f#$k you want!!

Own your style. If you like it wear it, if it makes you feel good, wear it and if it accentuates your favourite feature.. bloody wear it! 

The years I've wasted worrying if I look ok is ridiculous.

I know when I first went to try on wedding dresses and was dreading it, thinking, 'oh god, white or ivory is going to look awful on me'. But I tell you what, when I found THE dress I felt amazing! I even made a comment to my mum saying I can't believe how good I feel in this colour. And yes of course I wanted to lose weight for the wedding like most brides but due to a very hard 18months leading up to it I only managed to lose a stone. Much less than I'd wanted. But I can tell you this... I felt bloody AMAZING in my dress and that's all that mattered.

 This past weekend I've been in Brighton on our 'mini moon', and normally when the weather is hot I would NEVER be seen wearing shorts in the UK! Only ever abroad when I know I won't bump into anyone I know. Silly hey! But this weekend as it was SO DAMN HOT I donned my shorts and headed out for the day. Cellulite and all, and guess what.. I didn't care, and nor did anyone else. 

All you have to remember is no matter what size someone is, we ALL have hang ups about our bodies. Even the guys.

So basically what I'm trying to get across in this blog post is just be you and love the way you look. Don't worry about what you look like naked, no one sees this other than your partner and guess what.. they still love you!

So love yo'self
