Big, Small and Anything in Between

So I went clothes shopping today, just to get a few things for the cooler weather coming and a new pair of pants. While shopping with my aunt I held up a dress and asked her what do you think, she said "its nice but Its not the type of dress people with lumps can wear" the dress was a relatively clingy dress but if purchased in my size would not have been overly tight. Her statement really upset me, I know quite a few bigger woman who are a larger size naturally and they love who they are and are proud of who they are, I'm losing weight because I felt I needed too, I'm not rushing it and I'm letting the weight come of naturally. I was depressed and hated the way I looked before, and I'm still not a fan of how I look now but now that Ive started eating better and exercising I feel better and my mood has improved tremendously.

My aunt used to be my size roughly 200lbs and has lost about 70lbs, and I applaud her and her
weightloss efforts. She looks good now but I kinda feel like she doesn't have an open mind or she thinks because she used to be fat and thought she looked gross she thinks all big woman are gross, I'm don't know but her comment really struck a nerve with me today. I follow a lovely woman named Andrea on instagram and she is an inspiration to me to love my body no matter what it looks like. shes big and proud and love to show off the body god gave her. She also makes some kick ass jewelry.

I wish I could dress with her confidence, although most of the things I bought today were a size smaller than what I usually buy and most of them are not baggy and don't hide my body like a lot of my other clothes. I guess what I'm saying and I think I touched on this on another of my posts but if your body is bigger and its not big because your eating entire pizzas and bags of donuts then love it and show it off, don't hide it. Big is beautiful, small is beautiful anything in between is beautiful.
