Plus Size Diva

It’s been a little while since I have had time to get on here and post. I am going to try and start making time to post a couple times a week from now on. I always think of really great tidbits to share, or rants that I want to get out and then I get side tracked and don’t get a chance to.

Lots has been going on and some pretty big changes but I’ll get to that in another post. LOL

I’m down about 40 pounds. Still have a ways to go. I was super excited when I bought some pants the other day, they were 18s…woohoo! My first goal is a 14. So I am only a couple sizes away from my initial goal. It took years to put this all on so I’m not rushing to try and lose it over night…but it’s nice to see the changes especially when I go shopping lol.

Summer is here. I didn’t buy a new swimsuit this year, I am making due with the one I bought from Lane Bryant last year. Love it, but the top is too big…why is it when we lose weight its our boobs that go first! LOL Those are the one thing I don’t want to lose…

Any ways, hope everyone is doing good. I have gotten comments but you guys send them through the contact form, please post directly on the post you are referring to.

I’m a chic….I LOVE to shop! One thing that I have noticed lately is that I love shopping for intimate apparel. I have bought so much stuff over the last few months that it’s just not even funny!

Ladies if you are wearing the good old cotton panties from Walmart…You need to stop!

I am a true believer that feeling sexy starts with the first thing you put on in the mornings..Yep your Read the rest of this entry »

It’s funny how hard we are on ourselves some times, if we would some times just take a minute and hush the critical voices in our heads and listen to those people around us we might find that people really do love us the way we are.

My weight has always been an issue for me. I am one that would love to have the confidence of a super model, and can sometimes pull it off when in fact I am the most self conscious person out there. I am constantly thinking about how I look. When I sit I am fixing my shirt so my tummy looks a little more concealed, god forbid someone have a camera out…lol Read the rest of this entry »

Ok so a few months back I had some pretty big changes take place in my life. After almost 12 years of marriage I chose to move out and file for a divorce. This has been a long time in the makings…although for some reason he seemed surprised by it.

I won’t go all in to detail on the why’s or what nots, but I’ve had one foot out the door for quite a few years but kept hoping things would change. One day I realized they weren’t and I made the decision to live for me for once.

So I am actually ready to date…ummm yeah I said it…lol

I am ready to date. Man that is some scary shit to even type out! I haven’t dated since I was like 18…man have things changed! Read the rest of this entry »

I always joke around and say if I had a few inches of height than I wouldn’t be as round…lol Truth is, I wouldn’t mind being taller, which I can fix by wearing some sexy heels for the most part. However, I one huge gripe when it comes to buying pants…

I am in the category that ‘petite’ cuts are almost too short but ‘average’ are too long..lmao! I hate how petite pants fit, they seem short on me and I like my pants a little long, but I have some Seven Jeans that I LOVE, but haven’t wore them yet because they are too long and I need to get them altered…pain in the ass!

So I go shopping and try on a bunch of stuff…which mind you I totally love shopping but HATE trying clothes on! UGH! I swear I come out feeling 100 times worse than I started out…lol But I find jeans that I like, I know they aren’t going to fit in length, so I sacrifice and make sure they fit every where else..lol

I have a pair that look great but I would need 10 inches I swear to be able to wear them..why did I buy them? Cause my ass looks great in them…lol

So my mission this week…find a alteration shop that can fix all of my cute jeans for me! lol

It’s been a while since I have been able to get on here and post some things. Lots of things have changed over the last few months.

I am so loving my life now and couldn’t have made the changes I made at a better time. I am on a journey of finding myself and learning to love myself even more now than ever. I am living the single life after having went through a recent divorce.

I am living on my own now, and loving every second of it. It’s an incredibly liberating feeling when you get that Ah Ha! moment and take a leap of faith and trust your heart and your gut.

I have made some of the most amazing friends and they have been invaluable to me. I have learned that I like socializing where before I stayed to myself because I was ashamed of how I looked and how I felt about myself. I didn’t like being that person. With a little acceptance of my own, I feel like a million bucks.

I think we sometimes are so hard on ourselves that we forget that we don’t have to be perfect. I know I am a big girl and I am ok with it. Those that want to judge me, go ahead..it’s your loss not mine.

I am so loving life and realizing that I was keeping myself back because of how I felt about myself. Don’t do that! If you find yourself doing this, get up, get dressed, do your make up, your hair, etc slip into your favorite heels and head out…even if you are only going to the grocery store you will feel like a million bucks and trust me, you will turn some heads!

Sometimes we have to take a step back and really look at how we treat ourselves before we can ever hope for acceptance from others.

Keep your chin up Divas! We are worth it!
