Succeed in life and understand that body confidence
changes your perception of life. My body journey was
me getting curvier and curvier as I got older. My curves
are pretty much everywhere. I grew up with slim friends
but we participated in the same activities such as
cheerleading, softball, matching band and high school
sororities. We did everything together all the time and
I’ve been blessed with great people who never saw me
as “the fat friend” but saw me as I am: a goofy, loud, no
filtered friend.

The truth is, not everyone is as shallow as we think.
You have to be a woman with more going for you than
your looks. Have something that lures people into you
internally. I think that’s why “body confidence” exists
in the first place. Those women we admire online have
lured us in with more than just their looks. That’s an
added bonus.
