My curves are beautiful and womanly. I not only embrace them, but love them!

Each woman has a body that is uniquely hers. My body happens to be curvy. Some women will say that they accept their curves. I take this one step farther – I admire mine!

My curves make my body womanly and attractive. I owe them a big thank you!
Many women spend thousands of dollars to achieve the shapely body that I can enjoy naturally. So what if I have a bit extra? Last time I checked, more is more – period.

I can wear just about anything. Tight sheath dress? Check! Skin hugging jeans? Check! Or just standard office attire? Check! Check! Check!

When I walk out the door, my fabulous body and amazing sense of style turn any sidewalk into a runway.

I am proud of my body and feel that it is an asset to my confidence. I believe that every other curvy woman should also take pride in her appearance as well.

Designers may seem like they’re trying to discredit the beauty of my body by carrying sizes too small for me. But this is far from an indication that my body is too big. In reality, this just means that these designers lose me as a customer. I take my business to boutiques that serve beautiful ladies of all sizes.

Today, I take a long, hard look in the mirror and point out five things that I like about my body. As I start to see the beauty others see in me, I am on the road to true acceptance and adoration of my curves.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I try to fit into smaller sizes simply because I have label-shock?
2. How can I learn to alter clothes for my body rather than change my body to fit clothes?
3. What part of my body do others compliment often?
