Loving Me

I just got totally inspired to make my posts mean something! Let me start from the beginning. I am a size 16 woman. I do love myself. I think I am beautiful, I know I am smart, I am determined, I am loyal, I am funny. What's not to like? I don't know why I have this attitude about myself. Maybe it was years with my brother and our friends. Always hearing things like, "Don't listen to what others think," and, "You can't make everyone else happy. You can only make yourself happy." So that is where I am.

My boyfriend tells me I am beautiful all the time. I have had many fine ass guys tell me I am hot. I have been told by random strangers I am sexy. Why wouldn't I believe that? No reason what-so-ever!! I could look frumpy and hang my head. I could get out of bed and throw on sweats and an XXL t-shirt to hide my rolls. I could pull my hair up and not wear make-up. I could.... but I won't. I refuse to let any number define me! Whether it is the number on the scale, on the tag on my pants, my IQ, my paycheck, my age. It's just a number!! My phone number doesn't bring the feeling of dread. I am not going to refuse to watch channel 348 because I don't like that number. The clock doesn't scare me. It's all just numbers!! Frankly, the only number that kind of scares me is 7. I heard it "eight" 9.

So I want to post a pictures of gorgeous women that are the size of average, everyday women. I know women ranging from size 2 to size 22 and I love them all!! Because they are fun and beautiful and smart and kind and hot and they make me cherish my inner beauty and strength as well as my outter beauty and strength. Thank you to the models/actresses/singers I will post about. I love you for making me love myself even more!!!

My goal is changing the way you see as opposed to what you see. I want to take control of the word "FAT". So many times we conveniently forget all the fat we celebrate. J Lo's booty, Angelina's lips, natural breasts are all celebrated fat.(As a side note, I have nothing against implants. They just are not technically fat.) So now fat is a good thing but only in certain places? Oh! I get it! We can only eat food that makes our lady lumps bigger!! Well hell! If I'da known that years ago.... ?!

Ok people. Get real here. Quit trying to change everyone. Quit trying to make everyone look alike. Hitler tried that. Didn't work out too well for a bunch of people. Be happy with who you are and what you look like. TELL yourself and your body that you are happy. For real. Out loud. Tell yourself that you are beautiful. And most importantly, listen.
