I decided to post because I didn’t feel quite so alone as I looked at the various photos. I have to be honest and say that I’m still struggling with achieving a positive body image but I’m getting there. I felt and thought that I was fat despite having lost around 35lbs in the last few years and keeping it down. Even wearing this dress is a totally new feeling for me. I would hide in ill fitting or boring clothing and never wear anything that shoes my legs.
Part of the struggle has been finding clothes that fit flatter and adhere to my tastes. While this dress is quite flattering it’s not what I’d consider my style. I do plan to lose a little more weight, perhaps 10-15 more pounds (or at least tone up) but I’m beginning to accept myself and feel attractive and sexy.
I hope my submission becomes something positive.
I love this blog and all it stands for. This gives me hope for a future where not just skinny is beautiful, but beauty is recognised in all shapes and sized. Because, let’s face it, why live with a narrow perception of beauty, when you can live in a world where you can recognise beauty in everyone and anyone? You are all gorgeous :).

I really love this site and what it stands for… So here I am posting a picture. My measurements are 40-33-42 (last time I checked) Keep rocking your curves and loving yourselves lady because you are all GORGEOUS!
I used to hate my body, especially in a dress. Now though I think my curves are kickin’ and I own at least 6 dresses.

I’ve decided that this is how to do a curvy interview outfit. It took me forever to find a suit that didn’t buckle, bulge, or hit at the wrong points. I was so excited to finally find a blazer and skirt combination that worked!

Summer is almost here! After hitting the gym and eating healthier, I am feeling much more confident and happy with my body.

Hi! I’m Jessica, this is my second submission. I am 21 and completely comfortable with my body… finally. I hated my body and dreamed of being skinny all through high school. But then as I got older I grew to love my curves. My hips are 44”, my waist is 33”, and my bust 43”. I’m 5’10 and weigh 230lbs… And I love every single pound, guess what, some guys love curves! So have confidence, screw what the media tells us is pretty, and rock your voluptuous body! All of you are gorgeous! Confidence is the sexiest thing you can have.
