Why I embrace being a size 14...anything beats a size 26

Voted Popular Blog Post: View All Popular Posts

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

I have been around on SP for 3 years..I have seen many success stories and I consider myself one..but I havent reach onderland and I still shop plus sizes.

Being able to move and push my body to new limits is amazing to me. I can keep up with just about anyone...Who knew I can jog, kayak and rock climb? I thought that my body was physically incapable of doing push-up.. I now can do 10 a day. Thats saying alot for someone who has never been able to do any in her life!

I do have the desire to be a size 8.. 160lbs...I don't know If I will ever be there but the quality of life that I have now is in no comparison to when I was over 300lbs. I thought I was cute before, but I feel beautiful now.

I can get undressed fully undressed..walk around the way I always wanted to in front of my hubby..he loves the plus size me every inch of it. I feel comfortable as the plus size me...being obese could have ruined my life. I'm Glad that I did not allow it to.

Now lets all enjoy a picture or 2 or 3 of the cutest clothes I can now buy being a size 14 compared to a 26 :)

Before--





NOW!!











I am excited about my progress and plan to keep it moving!!

    Came across this blog at the right time....I am currently a size 16 and am aiming to be a Size 8 but this blog just showed me that I can still rock cute clothes and be confident no matter what size I am...You got to own it and appreciate where you started and where you are at...not where you are trying to go...thanks a thousand times...

    Congratulations on the 14; you soon will be going down again! Clothes shopping, hurrah! My favorite is the polka dot dress; and the purple one with the ruffley thing down the front; you have excellent taste; and look how many options now!

  You look FABOULUS, and are a inspiration to me, I agree with you TOTALLY a size 14 is way better than being a size 26 or hell 18(my current size).

Thanks soo much for showing that you dont need to be a stick figure to be HOT (I am not gay-LOL), but honey you are smokin!!
