Sabrina, 19, 140lbs, 38-27-40 (approximately).
I still don’t always like my body, and my clothes don’t always fit the way I want them too, but between my amazing boyfriend and the great people on this site, I’m learning to accept that even with stomach flab, curves and thighs that touch, I can still be sexy and beautiful. Keep up all the positivity ladies!
I have submitted here before, but that was last year. I don’t know my measurements, but I am 23 years old, 5’5” and I hover somewhere around 140 lbs.
Last summer was really stressful for me. I got on the scale one morning and the number was close to 200 lbs. With family issues and a failing relationship piling on, I ended up putting my stresses into working out and I ended up losing 40 pounds. I’m still not society’s ideals of perfect, nor do I want to be.
I’m working on toning up both physically and mentally. I’ve still got insecurities about my thighs and stretch marks and the saggy skin on my arms, but that’s just part of who I am and I’m teaching myself to love it all. And maybe this year I’ll be confident enough to actually wear a bikini. This blog is beautiful and has helped me so much.
I’m 22 years old and I just bought my first bikini. This is progress :)
5’2”. 36-28-41. Currently somewhere between 140-145 lbs.
5’6 & 10Stone.
When I was younger I used to feel way too insecure about my weight, I had thick thighs compared to the other kids and believed I was fat. As I started to get older I realized that being thick wasn’t a bad thing.
Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
I’m 5’4” and 140 lbs. According to the BMI, I am borderline overweight. For a long time, I’ve struggled with low self-confidence and eating disorders; there have been days and months where I’ve been unable to look into a mirror out of self-loathing. I also grew up in a religion that expects women to be modest, beautiful, submissive, and silent. As a chubby, outspoken teenager, I thought I’d never be wanted, by my church or anyone else.
When I got to college, I was recovering from a long struggle with anorexia. There, I fell in love with a man who accepted me for who I was and who helped me to break free of the clutches of religion. I also discovered tumblr, which sounds funny, but which really was a turning point in my life. I found a world outside of religion, where women came in all shapes and sizes, where everyone could speak their mind, and where I could finally fit in.
Thanks for helping me to accept myself, Ladies of Tumblr. You helped me to see a spectrum of humanity that media and religion could never have shown me. You taught me that women are strong, and smart, and crazy, and that no one fits into a single mold. I love you all.
Thanks for giving me the courage to show you who I really am, inside and out. :)
Hi. I’m Amanda. I am 23 years old, 5 feet tall and 140 pounds. My measurements are 36B cup, 32 waist, and 40 hips.
I have always had difficulty seeing my body for what it really is, and tend to view it in a negative light. I didn’t have my (one and only) growth spurt until I was 14. That meant from about the age of eight years and onward, I was taunted by my schoolmates for my weight. The boys oinked at me and the girls whispered about my size behind my back.
I know I’m a beautiful curvy woman now, but sometimes its hard to get the negative voices out of my head. Finding my fiance who loves me just the way I am, has definitely helped! If there is one thing I have learned, it is that I am a much happier, healthier person, when I love my body for what it is.
WOMEN OF THE WORLD
LOVE YOURSELVES <3
I am 5’2, I fluctuate between 130-140 pounds all the time. My measurements are 38-32-40. Super curvy boriqua, and most of the time I’m happy with that :) I certainly could afford to tone up/smooth out areas of my body before summer though!
5’4” | 34D-27-40 | As a model, I am CONSTANTLY being critiqued for the condition of my body, albeit muscle tone, cellulite, acne, weight gain, etc. It’s an everyday battle. I vary between 130 and 140 pounds daily. Even though I am well equipped to handle criticism, thanks to being a classically trained French horn player, sometimes it can get to me. I love my curves and am not ashamed of them. I love this blog! It’s awesome to view pictures of fellow beautiful, and curvy ladies flaunting their voluptuous bodies and being proud of what God gave them!
Hiya! Posted here before with an awfully happy story (LOL!) and got such a buzz off all you lovely gorgeous people!!!!:)
ranging between 10-11 stone :)
Hi everybody!
After losing around 40 pounds in the last year and a bit, I thought it was time for a bit of celebrating rather than telling myself how much farther I have to go. Seeing all the other beautiful women on this site has really reinforced how lovely I think the womanly form is, and how grateful I am to have it too! I’m still working hard to get into better shape, but for now, being a bottom-heavy weirdo doesn’t seem so bad.
Age: 19 Height: 5’3” (and a half) Weight: around 140 Measurements: 37-30-38
I’ve resolved not to let my curves stop me from going out and wearing what I like and feeling good about myself… I’m finally starting to appreciate my body for what it is, not what it isn’t.
5 foot 6.5, 140 lbs, size 8, 34D
5ft 9 or 10, ranging between 10stone and 11 (140lbs to about 160lbs, just depends!) 34” bust, 28”’ waist, 37” hips and 40” bum.
Hello :) I’m Ruby!! :) and I’m 15. I bought this bikini last week!!:)
So the first reason I wanna do this is for a lovely girlie who cannot see how beautiful she really is, hopefully if this gets put up, I’m gunna send it to her! I really hope this helps her, because you’re beautiful lovely :) You have nothing to worry about, you’re so so strong and so so beautiful. You’re breathtakingly beautiful, I really hope you’ll see that one day:)
So for a long time I looked in the mirror and hated what I saw, I’d cry when I had to eat, and I wouldn’t eat if I could get away with it. If I thought I’d ate too much I’d go and make myself vomit it back up. Yet, I admired other women’s curves, I adored them! But I just couldn’t love my own. For various reasons I fell into self harming, and then eventually was very suicidal, and I *hated* myself. I thought the world would be better off with me, that I’d easily be replaced, that no one would really care… But I got through that, and I’m glad! :)
So I know how it feels to dislike what you see in the mirror, but you ARE beautiful. It sounds so cliche! But you are!
So I just wanna say to all of you, that you’re all beautiful, no matter how badly life treats you, how badly people make you feel, you are beautiful. You are worth so much and are going to achieve so much, every little last bit of you that makes you… You, is absolutely gorgeous.
Society tells us what are flaws are, tells us what we should look like, what we shouldn’t look like… But they’re wrong. You are beautiful, whether you’re curvy or not! You are not flawed. You are gorgeous.
Go on, have a look in the mirror, look at yourself- you’re beautiful!
Lots of love :)
Ruby :) <3 xxxxxxxx
