The conference goals are to uplift, empower, enhance and represent all plus size women who want to enter into the modeling world. Over the course of the weekend the conference will host detailed workshops on plus size modeling, spiritual awareness, financial success, self imagery, nutrition and runway walking.

I have decided to join the gym. We are planning a trip to Disney World next year and I don’t want to have to worry about not being able to get on the rides with my girls. I find that I don’t do a lot of things because I worry that I am to big and would have to suffer the embarrassment of having to get off, or leave.

I love being curvy and thick. I don’t want to be small…I just want to be a bit healthier. Over the last couple years my weight has really went up and I realize that I need to watch it because of the health concerns that come with it. My family is plagued with Diabetes. Not something I want to contend with.

This is going to be a heck of a battle…but I know in the end it will be worth it. All part of this journey back to finding me. This is just one of those struggles that we all have to deal with…

I always try to do my best and stay positive about who I am. Some days it’s just to hard. Some days I feel like I am lying to myself about feeling ok with my weight, while other days, I do feel great.

I think it’s the yo-yo emotions that are so hard. They are as bad as the yo-yo diets I have tried over the years…up one day down the next, up and down etc! Such a pain in the rear! (more…)

I have always believed that each of us is beautiful in our own special way. Some of us are pretty to look at, some of us have nice hair, some of us have nice teeth, some of us have great personalities. If you think about it, there is something about each of us, that someone else admires, or wishes they had.

No I didn’t say they would admit it openly…

Do you ever give yourself a compliment? Tell yourself that you look beautiful?

Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the day to day, that we forget to take a minute and be our own friend. We forget that being comfortable in your own skin, starts with loving yourself. We can be our own worst critics.

I am sure you are wondering what brings this up…well I got to thinking the other day as I was putting my makeup on, that I really like my eyes and how I felt so pretty that day, but as I finished up and walked by the full length mirror, how hard I was on myself. And how in that split second of putting myself down, that one thought that entered my head, made me feel horrible and instead of wearing what I originally picked out, I ended up in a pair of jean capris and a tshirt. I ended up pulling my hair back and saying screw it.

Had I only been a little nicer to myself…I would have felt better that entire day. I would have felt beautiful, I would have looked beautiful, but it changed in that instant with that one nasty thought.

So when you are getting dressed today…do me a favor. When you walk by that mirror, don’t let that one dreaded thought get the chance to ruin your day. Beat it to the punch. Flip your hair, bat your pretty little eyes, smile and say…”Honey, you look great today!” and just keep on walking.

Dig down deep and find your beauty that you hide away. Be you, be big and be beautiful!
