Where does our body confidence come from?
This is something I have been thinking about a lot recently and I’ve come up with a couple of theories but no definite answers (in terms of my own body confidence of course) I really wanna throw this question out into the plus size community and hear some other views…
I went out on Friday night and ended up in a gay bay where I was invited up onto the stage by a beautiful drag queen, this is the point in the past where I would have shied away from all the eyes on me and politely declined, but this time I decided that, you know what…why not… I was up on stage laughing, joking and would you believe DANCING in front of a bar full of people.
Afterwards I was really proud of myself, I had so much fun and realised that it was an experience I would have missed out on if I thought too much about what people thought of me.
I don’t know if its just that Im getting older and I don’t care as much or that my confidence has gotten to the point where I wont let anything hold me back. The last year or two I have changed completely, I am very happy and love living my life… My body has changed a lot in the last couple of years and at this stage of my life I am at my happiest…
Ladies where does your confidence come from… Im very interested to know and I also think it will be beneficial for people to hear from others…
My confidence comes from me. Of course it’s nice if my hubby or other people think I look nice, but I spend the most time of anyone looking at myself so it’s important I love me. In the last year my confidence has grown no end and I’ve gone from someone who hated being stared at to expecting it and not giving a fuck.
Go you! People love others who are having fun, regardless of size. The world treats us how we treat us, and if we think all good things about ourselves then that’s contagious. x
