Plus-Size-Diva

Have you ever felt like there was so much chaos going on around you and that you’re smack dab in the middle of it…and you realize that you just need to breathe?

I’ve got some things going on in my life that I think are going to end up making me make some really big changes. It’s scary but in the back of my mind, I keep thinking….but I’ll finally be able to breathe…I’ll finally be able to just be me. Knowing this, doesn’t seem to make it any easier though.

But at the same time, I feel like it’s ok. We’ll be just fine.

It’s just so confusing and frustrating!

I know this post seems like a lot of rambling…but I’m just trying to get my head straight. I’ll post more details soon though!

I was out hunting for some good articles to stick up here, and found this one. It’s a tad bit long…but well worth the read!

Do you ever find yourself apologising for your size? It is a sad fact of life that many women do these days. We’ve become indoctrinated into thinking that big is bad and thin is beautiful, and that the emaciated waifs we see in the media have the perfect must have figure

Yet, history shows it’s actually big women that men find most attractive. The works of Renaissance masters like Botticelli and Rubens show that even the Medieval female was the object of immense fascination and scrutiny. Yet, the women immortalised on these ancient canvases little resemble the super slim celebrities of the modern age. Rather, Renaissance women are often depicted as gloriously full figured, with full bosoms, ample tummies and large bottoms.

Yet, they were still celebrated as objects of beauty… (more…)

So today hasn’t started out that great. I went yesterday and got my hair cut. I wanted something different so I went super short which I haven’t done for a couple years now. I prefer my hair short like this but now I am battling a case of what I like to call….my fat face syndrome.

I feel like what was hid behind my longer hair is now exposed and I look ridiculous. Every time I walk by the mirror I try not to look. I don’t know if I just don’t like the cut, or if I don’t like the cut because of my ‘fat face’.

So needless to say, everything is ‘fat’ today. I truly hate days like this. It’s like when I get going in my mind, it’s hard to stop the insults to myself. It’s truly frustrating especially when you want to be positive and not beat yourself up over issues like weight.

UGH! It’s just not going to be a good day…

Just wanted to share an article I found and though you all might like:

Pick any media source and what do you see? Super thin models who appear to eat a single bread crumb as their total caloric intake each day. This can be discouraging if you are a full figured woman. Don’t let it be! You can be just as beautiful as them.

Most of us women focus obsessively on our outfits because we believe a particular look will get across a point we are trying to make. A sexy black dress will show off our smoldering, seductive side. A correctly cut skirt suit will show off our professional side. As you well know, there seems to be a look for just about every occasion.

Make no mistake. The outfit you wear does go a long way to making a particular impression. That being said, there are two parts to the process. The second is how you carry yourself. Some call this attitude, but it is really about confidence.

A woman who feels sexy, will be sexy. It is as simple as that. Why? Attitude shows through in everything we do. It always has and it always will. Any piece of clothing is only as attractive as the woman wearing it. Attraction is all about attitude. Many women think attitude really only applies to men. It doesn’t. It applies to women just as much.

Picture in your mind a woman in a black cocktail dress. Is she sexy and the focus of men or not? The answer depends largely on her attitude which is conveyed by her body language. If she is “mousy” and passive, her body language will be in contrast to the attitude of the dress and she simply is not going to look good. If, on the other hand, she is confident, her body language will convey that and the dress will look great as an accessory to her overall beauty.

You are who you are. If you are plus size, you can do two things – lose weight or accept yourself. Even if you decide to lose weight, you still are going to be plus size for a bit and you still are going to want to look good. You can. It is all about being comfortable with yourself and confident. Any man would be lucky to have you. Don’t forget that. Also, don’t sabotage yourself by wearing outfits that are too small. Get clothes that fit or you will look like you are trying to hard.

Beauty is an equal opportunity thing. You don’t have to be a rail thin supermodel to have it. You can be plus size and just as beautiful. You just have to be confident and believe in yourself.
