Loving a Large Woman

I have a shirt that says "Beauty is in the thighs of the beholder". I wear it proudly because it is one of the few things I have ever seen that proclaims the beauty of a big girl.

It's not easy being a plus size women. It's hard to find clothes that are not only flattering, but fit your body right. It's harder to find boots that accomadate your larger calves. People look at you funny when you eat. Your friends buy clothing in stores that have nothing in your size. The hardest thing about being plus sized though, is accepting yourself.

Plus size girls don't have a lot of role models. And we need them. We need to feel good about our curvy figures. And we need to learn how to accept our flaws and bask in our beauty.

There are some great websites out there to help in our quest for accepting ourselves.
