About
My name is LaDawn. I’m 31 and have been considered bigger most of my life. I grew up with a very loving family that never told me I was fat, or that I needed to lose weight. Most of my friends were accepting of who I was and it was never an issue.
I’ve never been ‘skinny’ and have always gotten compliments along the lines of ‘you are so pretty if only you’d lose some weight’. This is more of an insult than it is a compliment so if you are guilty of this, don’t say it anymore.
I have my good days and my bad days. There are days that I feel as beautiful as can be, and then there are days where I am hard on myself and would like to slink away. I am on a journey of self acceptance, and learning to tell the world that it’s ok to not fit in their box of normality.
Being curvy doesn’t mean that I’m not sexy, that I’m not beautiful. It means that there is a little more of me to love and you can either love me as I am or you can hit the road.
This blog is for myself and every plus size woman out there that has been in my shoes! We are beautiful as we are, and being you starts with loving who you are.
Be Big, Bold & Beautiful!
LaDawn
