THIS BODY IS MADE FOR PURE PERFECTION.
I was truly inspired
by Lane Bryant’s “This Body Is Made For” campaign featuring Gabby Sidibe.
Gabby’s promo video is the inspiration to share my story. There is something
about her words, “Her Weight Ain’t Cool and Is Not Sexy”, touched a part of me.
All I could hear is my mom stating to me that I am too big. I can not wear this
or I should not wear that. You need to get this weight off of you. You don’t need
to eat this or you don’t need to eat that. This was my childhood growing up.
Sometimes I wonder how did I turn out to be so comfortable in my own skin.
As a plus-sized woman in America, you can be frowned upon
due to your size. My life experiences have molded me to be the most confident
me I can be. Growing up with a mother that instilled negative body images
towards me, I have turned into a fabulous body positive woman that knows how
beautiful she is on the inside and out.
Now that I know the woman I am today, I can finally say hello
haters, nay-sayers, talkers, and the boppers in the corners. (This is a Houston
thing……lol)
I appreciate the nay-sayers because they help me strive to
shine a little brighter. So I can honestly say, I see you watching.
I will continue to shine and stand tall as I walk into my
destiny.
Ladies, no matter your size, shape, or background, I
encourage you to walk into your destiny. Whatever dream you have, go for it. Start
planning the route you want your life to take. You only live once so enjoy it
the way you see fit.
Choose to LOVE and be HAPPY. Choose to live your life.
Choose Freedom. NEVER LET SOMEONE TELL YOU NO. You can do anything that you put
your mind too. You were created to be the best you that you can be. Live in
your truth Ladies.
Until next time Ladies, know that you are truly beautiful.
