Feeling good about my curvy self today so I thought I’d take a few pictures. Nothing like a mini photo shoot to up your confidence!
5’8 180-200lbs
I find this blog so inspirational, I’ve decided to make my first submission! I’m 5’10”, weigh 200 lbs and measure 37-32-47. When I was 18 I was diagnosed with anorexia and weighed 55 lbs less than I do today. It’s take me 10 years (I’m now 28) to be comfortable with my natural figure, but I’m finally getting there.
Recently I’ve accepted my body. I’m still working on losing weight, but my main goal is being healthy. I’ve learned that positive thoughts lead you to a positive place. I’m 18, 5’7 200lbs and very proud of my body and what it’ll become in the future. I’ve also recently shaved my head as a fresh start. I think it brings out the beauty I missed before.
Hey! I’m Addy, 15, around 200 lbs, 5’11”, a DD, and about a size 12. It hasn’t been an easy road accepting my body, and I’m no where near close to fully loving it, but I’m definitely on my way. Thanks for having such a wonderful tumblr to turn to!!
Six-one, about 200 pounds, 36C, US size 12.
I’ve struggled with my body image since I was at least eight years old, and I was in and out of treatment for an eating disorder since I was eighteen. I’ve been out of treatment however for over two years, my longest stretch by far. I still don’t like what I see in the mirror every day, but the fact that I am able to share this photo shows that my disgust with myself has diminished drastically. I don’t cry when I look at myself anymore.
Curvy is beautiful. I strive to be healthy and accept that my body isn’t ever going to be stick thin, no matter how much I exercise or eat right. And why would I want to be so tiny? I am learning to love my curves. Slowly, but surely.
It’s a little blurry, and the toilet paper in the background doesn’t give much ambiance, but this is me before my spring formal. I’m about 200 lbs, 5’4”, and this is probably the tightest, but my favorite, dress I’ve worn :)
I’m 19, and I’m from Argentina.
I’ve been struggling with my body issues my entire life. I’ve always been really tall, 1.83 mts and currently I weight 200lbs aprox.
I just found this tumblr in a really weird moment in my life, I’m trying to love my body, but sometimes it gets hard to not feel bad about it. Somehow society and everything you see makes you feel humillated for not belonging.
I’ve done crazy things, I’ve thought crazy things, things that I’m not proud of. But the good thing about hitting the bottom line is that is only the way up.
I wish I could love myself. I’m working on it. Thanks for this space.
This is me late one night at the beach (wish I was back there!) in my Monroe/vintage inspired swimsuit. I’m 5’4”, about 200 lbs, and a size 12 or 14, depending on the day and clothing. 38D bra. I used to think I was fat and felt bad about it (mother issues).
I’m not skinny and that’s okay. I’m sturdy, soft, and strong. I’m a professional dog-walker & pet-sitter. I walk about 8 miles a day while controlling dogs. I feel good :)
We shouldn’t have to fit the clothes, the clothes should fit us.
This is my second submission. I’m Rebecca, 19 years old, 5’8, and around 200 lbs. I hear ALL the time, “Oh there is no way you weigh 200 pounds!”. I have always had a low/medium level of self-esteem, but seeing blogs like this makes me realize that I am beautiful no matter what the scale says.
Hey there! This is my first submission! Me on Valentine’s Day. I’m 23, 5’8”, 200lbs and my measurements are 41-34-47. I’ve never had body issues and I have no shame about this body. I’ve been fat and I’ve been thin. Like everybody, there are things about my body that I hate but there’s a lot more that I love. Keep up the self-love gorgeous ladies.
I stand 5’4 and weigh around 200lbs. According to current standards I should be ashamed of myself, but I do my best to enjoy my body. Due to my 38F bustline a lot of clothes have always been off limits for me so I don’t find myself too deprived in any way being this size. I don’t know my measurements, but my waist is tiny compared to my boob/hip ratio, and that makes me happy. My husband calls me his Pocket Venus and that’s what I try to see when I look in the mirror!
this is me on a trip to disney over the fall, haha. i dont know my exact measurements…chest is 38dd/ddd depending, waist is about 32 and hips in the low 40s i think. im 5’8” and a little over 200lbs in this pic. i have been heavy my whole life but i have learned it is useless to stress and get depressed over it. work with what you have! the grass is always greener on the other side, etc etc. my husband and i just found out we are pregnant about a month ago so im really gonna need positive body image reinforcement during this! thanks ladies :)
