Honestly these women are gorgeous!

And the reality is, the average woman in America weighs 164 lbs. and is a size 14.

Yep, those are the stats for a perfectly normal female in the US.

But many women aren’t happy with those figures or their figure.

 

A positive self-image is one of the top things most women struggle with.

 

“We see ‘straight size’ girls from sizes 0-2 maybe a 4 if the girl is well known or has boobs. Then nothing, until we hit ‘plus size’ girls at around size 14. Never mind the fact that the vast majority of women in the western world fall in this size bracket.

 

“Until a woman can open a magazine and see her body shape represented, how can women stop comparing themselves to an impossible standard?” Bridget Malcolm

 

“If you’re too thin, they kill you and if you’re too fat, they kill you. There’s no such thing as perfection and someone else’s definition of it is not good enough for me.” Drew Barrymore

Instead of being overly critical and negative, be grateful for the body and health you do have.

 

Give yourself permission to see and accept the good!

 

Boosting Your Self-Image with the Perfect Clothing

 

Learning to love your body is important because having a good self-image empowers you in many ways.  

 

 

HOW TO LOVE YOUR BODY

 

 

 

When you love the way you look, you feel more confident and confidence gives you the ability to do anything you set your mind to.

 

Dressing for your body type also plays a big part in how you look and see yourself, so it’s important to know what color, style, shape and material of clothing looks best on you.

If your closet is full of worn out t-shirts and old faded blue jeans, it’s definitely time for a wardrobe makeover.

 

You can always find clothes that are flattering to your own body shape.

 

Take a good, honest friend or family member shopping with you to help you choose clothes that fit well and colors that look best on you.

Updating your wardrobe doesn’t have to be expensive either. Begin by shopping resale stores.

Oftentimes you can find brand name, never worn clothes at prices greatly below retail.

 

However, don’t settle for less than the best for your body type.

 

If you can’t find the perfect items for your body, then don’t buy the clothes just because they’re cheap.

You need to only buy clothes that makes you FEEL GREAT!

Build your wardrobe from the bottom up, starting with the basic necessities:

 

  • Black dress pants for work or an evening out
  • One dressy blouse for work or an evening out
  • One power suit for job interviews or business
  • A black skirt
  • Camisoles in a variety of colors for layering
  • A well-fitting pair of blue jeans for casual days
  • 2 to 3 casual tops (casual and comfortable but beautiful)
  • 2 pair of shoes: 1 for dress and 1 for casual

 

When you’ve got the basic necessities, then you can build your wardrobe up from there by adding dressy blouses or tops in different colors and styles, more skirts in various styles and colors and so on.

 

Once you start loving your body by recognizing what you do like about it and dressing to fit your body type, you’ll gain a whole new confidence like you’ve never felt before and other people will take notice too.

 

You may notice others reacting somewhat differently toward you as they respond to your new confidence but what matters the most is what YOU THINK OF YOU.

There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty. Steve Maraboli

 

My confidence is being myself and not giving a damn about what anyone says. Denise Mercedes

 

You are not fat. You have fat. You also have fingernails but you are not fingernails.

 

Everybody has a part of her body that she doesn’t like, but I’ve stopped complaining about mine because I don’t want to critique nature’s handiwork. My job is simply to allow the light to shine out of the masterpiece. Alfre Woodard

 

People always ask me, “You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?” It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl…it doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matter is what YOU see. Gabourey Sidibe

 

Dear body, you were never the problem. There is nothing wrong with your size, your curves, your scars, your flaws, your stretch marks or you. It’s not your job to look like the people in magazines. It’s not your job to look “pretty”. You are good enough already.

 

You are not a size.

You are not a weight.

You are not a colour.

You are not an age.

You are not a trophy.

You are not a doll.

You are not stupid.

You are not an image.

You are not an advert.

You are a perfectly imperfect beautiful woman

 

Self-love is respecting my beautiful body. Yes it is beautiful. It was divinely designed especially for me. A sacred creation for self-knowledge which brings me limitless opportunities to experience myself in each moment. Michelle M McGrath
