Curvy
Women:
(Mind,
Reality, Life)
It
has been more than a year since I have written anything for this portion of the
blog. I had been just doing enough to
get to books on the blog due to my arm being pretty much out of service. Due to nerve damage. I hope to start doing more on a regular basis
as the whim hits me.
Okay
ladies I am figuring out that a size 14 which I am in pants at the present time
is the norm. Tops I very between a large
and an extra-large. My bras are the same
way. I don’t know how that can be since
they were used up breast feeding and ladies you know what I mean by that and
age took care of the rest. Damn! But what is left fits in a 40D and all the ladies
in town always beat me to those too at Torrid (the only place I buy them) where
I tend to shop due to fit and design.
Now
size 14, it is not my comfortable size, from where I was feeling fit as a
fiddle from before my pneumonia shot in the nerve and my thyroid medication
being off. But you know what? It’s okay.
It’s not even the size it’s how I am feeling while I am in that size no
matter what the size is. It could be a
size 2. If I am not feeling good it can
my day turn to shit on a fast slope. So,
let’s just call it what it is “stinking thinking.” Slowly but surely I am finding out that every
day is a new norm for me and I am slowly getting my body fit again. Do I like it?
Some days I am cool with it other days all I feel is every tuck and
roll. Part of that is just the tiredness
that comes with the thyroid lacking that day and my energy level just being
gone. I just listen to my body now. If there is anything I can stress to all the
women I talk to it is, “Listen to your inner voice and when it says you are
tired rest, when it says you are not feeling good see your doctor. If your doctor can’t find something the first
time and you are still feeling bad keep bugging him or get a new doctor.” I was blessed and found a great one who I
feel saved my life. He took the back
door and got me what I needed and we found the cancer. But I am alive and breathing and that is a
good thing. So “Thank You God J”
As
we were people watching at the Anime Convention and at Disneyland I was
noticing and talking to the Hubby about how this new generation of women are so
open and free. They are so okay with who
they are and what they wear they don’t care what anyone thinks. How freeing is that? Yes, people say things but like my daughter
says she just says shit back to them and that’s that. Because in the world of Anime you are taking
on a persona of a character and their way of dressing.
So,
say they dress in a mini and they are a powerful character but they are your
favorite. You love them so much you want to dress just like them and you are
overweight, male, small boobs or too thin but the characters have big boobs and
a big butt you can dress like them and no one will shame you.
Wow,
what a way of thinking an amazing openness of caring. Now, as a mom some were really out there but
I got what it was about. For my daughter
who is tiny in stature she finds Anime giving women a sense of empowerment that
American cartoons don’t so it helps her feel more powerful. She says they tend to be portrayed smarter
also and they strive to reach for a higher purpose. Not bad for a cartoon.
It’s
all about owning who they are and making you feel like you can do and be anyone
if you work for it. So curvy women so
can we. But instead of putting on our
mask we will be talking to one another and taking them off.
I
love clothes I always have. I want you
to know that if you are my size then you might like to know that we can
exchange tips here or if you are having issues with your weight due to your
health which I so know how that feels.
If you have read any of my old Curvy Women articles you would know my
story. I have been there done that, right
there with you. We are never really on
the other side. We may lose the weight
but our “stinking thinking” hangs on. I
sometimes forget I have lost any weight until I see my reflection. Amazing what
our minds can do to us, right?
Here
are some different photos of ways I am learning to dress my body to address my
new me.
Thank,
