Body Confidence

Hey Y'all!

Over the last year I've put some weight on... straight to the point no messing around with this post!

But it's very true I have and although it's not drastic amounts, it is noticeable for me. It's at least one stone and my clothes are tighter and therefore I am having to purchase bigger clothes. But I have to say I'm kind of past the whole 'oh my goodness, I really need to loose weight phase'.

I've accepted that I'm on the curvy side and for any photoshoots I would be classed as Plus size because I am Size 12, this doesn't bother me in the slightest however ten years ago it really would have.

But now I'm so past caring, why? Because ten years ago I was all about impressing other people. I cared more about what I looked like to them, part of this was in my early twenties I was in an emotionally abusive relationship.

My partner of the time would constantly make me aware if I put on the slightest but of weight on my stomach or thigh area. That I really needed to work out with him and watch what I was eating. However I'm sure if the weight went straight to my chest is would have been classed as a win?!!! Strange how people pick what they find attractive on you and how we find their thoughts more important then our own isn't it?

I was hard on myself in my early twenties just to please him and others and at the time I thought I was pleasing myself.

Now I am in now way claiming that people shouldn't work out or stay fit and healthy, that is not the point on this post. I don't have time right now to work out and have no real desire to do so either.

This is my body today - I have stretch marks, cellulite and a belly podge - but I love every inch of my body! Any 'improvements' by working out in my eyes are just a bonus....

I think I know how to dress well for my figure of today, I think that's a great way of showing body confidence. Not feeling like you can't wear certain things because of your weight, and if something is a bit tight fitting for me I will rock it, adapt it to compliment my own figure.

I could go into this much deeper, and maybe I will one day.

Tell me about your body confidence.
