Dear Plus Sized Beauty,
You are gorgeous. You are just as gorgeous as the girl in a size 4. Don’t let anyone shame you into believing anything else.
I bet you’re smart as a whip. And your personality is just as beautiful as the rest of you.
You don’t need anybody else’s approval to feel beautiful, you just need your own.
I hope when you look in the mirror you never shy away. And I hope when you look at any curves, rolls, or stretch marks you see them as part of your beauty. I hope when you see your reflection you see how strong you are. And I hope with every second of staring at your body, you build confidence instead of tearing yourself down.
I wish for you to try that dress on. So what if it hugs you a little bit, there’s someone who looks at you and wants to hold you tighter than that dress does.
I wish you’d wear those shorts that are just a bit too short. So your thighs rub together, rub some dry deodorant on them to keep the chub rub at bay. You’ll look amazing in them. You just have to rock them like you know how beautiful you are.
Wear that crop top if you love it. So what you’ve got a little tummy, you’re still hot.
Stop carefully and slowly eating your food in public. You know if you were home you’d be digging in. Don’t let passers-by judgement fear you into being someone your not. Everybody eats. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Stop trying all these fad diets. Yes, eat healthy when you want. Yes exercise. But put your happiness and sanity above all else. Obsessing over your weight won’t make it come off any faster. Just be patient your day will come.
And always remember, you are beautiful.
Sincerely,
Another Plus Sized Goddess
