Plus Size! Fat! Curvy! Yeah Im all that and a bag of chips and glass of Pepsi! Its 2018 and it seems as if the plus size community is always under somebody guidelines telling us who we should be, what we should wear and how we she act! Then we have the plus size community who is definitely plus size but some how has “disowned” the plus size community and term! (Side eye)

Although I have always been a girl on the thicker side, I have carried a certain confidence about myself. Even when I wasn’t sure, I faked until I made it. As I became older and began to understand the true meaning of self love, the fake confidence left and the real ShawanaV happen! Listen, I’m big, thick, scrumptious, big-boned (LOL, I love you Grandma Lorine) and a snack! I slay PERIOD! No question about it. I mean give me a plastic bag, a bow, some leggings and heels and I can make that work! Ok so yeah you probably won’t catch me in that but ya’ll get my point!

Now I have been on a weight loss journey and that is not to disowned the plus community. That is so that I can live to see many years from now. And Chile my knees were hurting…I had to get these ankles and knees strong to hold all of this goodness up on a heel! But in my decision to become a better me I made the decision to become healthier – Mind, Body and Soul!

Let me encourage you today! Be You! Rather your classified as skinny, plus, in-between or figuring it out! Rock it!  Stop letting society define you and make your own definition of yourself. Be true and authentic to your purpose. Is everyone going to like you…Of course not! Will everyone accept you?…Of course not! Should you be bothered? Of course not! I refuse to be a chamaeleon to the trends and acceptance guidelines of society! As a plus proud baddie, Im apart of a community of other plus baddies, setting records, slaying goals and setting new standards.
