I’m thrilled to start this blog, and whether it brings 10 or 1000 followers, I hope it will resonate with Curvies everywhere

The idea for this blog came to me as I was searching for other Curvy-positive blogs, and while I did find some amazing and inspiring ones, I also came across some that, while they preached “owning it” and embracing your curves, also managed to throw in some negativity.  While I agree with taking care of ourselves, the truth is we come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us will still be curvy no matter what we do or don’t do.  So whether you love yourself the way you are and have no intention of dieting, or you’re starting to lose and still need some inspiration along the way, I hope that this blog can be a positive place to see that you’re beautiful no matter what!

I’m a Curvy girl in my 30’s, and have fluctuated between being a size 14-18 over the past few years.  I’m currently a size 16.  I have tried every diet under the sun, losing 20, 30, and even 50 lbs, only to gain it all back.  I’m currently eating ok, not great, and manage to hit the gym about 2-3 times a week for an hour. I may get more or less strict as times goes, but right now I’m not in a “diet” mentality, just taking it day by day and see how it goes.

I also LOVE fashion!! Stores have slowly started to embrace us Curvies and it’s a beautiful thing! I love putting together cute flattering outfits that embrace my curves and flatter my shape, so I’ll also be posting pictures of cute looks and where I got them to help you find figure flattering clothes.

Anyway, I’m super excited to begin this journey and hope you enjoy being part of the Curvy Girl Revolution
