A Daily Struggle

It’s so funny when you sit back and really think about the things that affect us on a day to day basis, what makes us who we are. Who do we strive to impress.

There are some days when I am so high on myself that nothing could pull me down. Days when I feel as beautiful as a Covergirl Model. When I know I look good and can feel it in my bones.

Then there are days when I feel like at any moment the flood gates are going to break and I am going to cry my eyes out. Like everyone is looking at me, and that I look awful and hate how I look and feel about myself.

There are days that I envision a goddess…and there are days that I envision a slob….

It’s hard. It’s hard to always be positive and love myself. I do a good job for the most part but it’s still hard. It’s something that I choose to work on daily. Something that I make a conscious effort at on a regular basis. Because I feel better when I like myself…

No amount of validation from other people on how pretty I am, how good I look etc, is going to make me happy…I have to learn to completely love myself and my flaws and learn that it really is ok to be me.

It’s a struggle everyday…some days are good and some days are bad…but today…I love me.

Plus Size Diva Spotlight and Company Spotlight

As many of you know I do a spotlight page for those Plus Size Diva’s that are well..awesome. LOL This month I have put up a new one. Her name is TroJah. One reason I picked her is that she has went a step further than just being a good role model and loving her curves.

She has an organization called Elite Plus Inc. You can visit it here: Elite Plus Inc

With her organization she is helping the young and the old to come together (sort of like a sisterhood) to get solutions to daily problems and teach (as well as learn) how to channel the negative energy into positive aspects of life.

Their mission statement which I love is:

Our deepest passion is getting Full Figured women and young girls to understand that we have a place in this world; and its at the top. Elite Plus desire is to recruit women who are confident in their own skin and be a seed of hope to those who struggle daily with the concept of self-love. We want to discover a new way of living life, and ultimately live a happy, healthy, and prosperous one.

Take time to check out her website! It’s such a wonderful idea and can’t wait to see where she takes her organization!
