I want to take a quick minute and thank the many readers and subscribers to my blog. Most of you are silent ‘partners’ and that is ok! I hope that my rantings and my own struggles help you with yours! Afterall, that is why I started this blog.

What I would love to see happen is that each of you take a minute and give a quick introduction about yourself to us all. You don’t have to get personal, or you can….completely up to you.

I will start…

My name is LaDawn. I am 27. Been married for almost 9 years. I have two little girls ages 7 and 4. I have battled my weight all of my life and probably will til the day I die. I am working on my self esteem and self love. I believe that beauty is in all shapes and sizes.

Who’s next….

Again, Thank you to you all!

I found this Press Release and wanted to share it with you all! It’s exciting to know that designers are starting to take notice that us beautiful big women deserve the same stylish clothing as the rest of the world! If you haven’t already stumbled acrossed www.Cherished-Woman.com you should go there and check out some of the designer clothing they carry! They have some fabulous things!

In the past plus size women were given limited options when it came to dressing like their thinner peers. But thanks to national body image campaigns like the popular Dove Girls and the emergence of plus size celebrities like Nikki Blonsky of Hairspray, Mo’Nique, and American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, plus size women are embracing their curves. Their new confidence has created a demand for trendy plus size clothes that has women’s plus size apparel sales soaring to over 76B this year, up from 60B last year. Read more »

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…
