Loving Yourself As A BBW!

 

Loving oneself as a big beautiful woman (BBW) can be a journey. The media and societal stereotypes have perpetuated an unrealistic beauty standard and conditioned us to believe that thin is the only ideal body size. This, however, is not true for everyone, as people come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some tips on how to love yourself as a BBW:

1. Accept Your Body for What it is: 

Accept that your body is unique and beautiful, no matter what the naysayers say. You are not defined by what society deems as an acceptable size, rather by who you are, your character, and what you offer to the world.

2. Celebrate Your Body: 

Focus on the qualities of your body aspect that you admire, accentuate them, and be proud of them. This sends a message of self-confidence and helps to foster a positive body image.

3. Surround Yourself with Positive Energy: 

Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you. Engage in activities and hobbies that make you happy while also maintaining relationships with people who are kind and inclusive.

4. Prioritize Self-Care: 

Take care of your body effectively, whether that involves regular exercise, a balanced diet or simple hygiene. Treating your body with kindness is an essential part of self-worth, and a great way of staying physically and mentally healthy.

5. Be Mindful of Your Inner Voice: 

As we go through different experiences, we tend to internalize negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Recognize that inner critic and challenge negative self-talk by replacing them with positive beliefs and gratefulness.

6. Embrace Fashion & Style: 

Choosing the right attires is crucial to feeling comfortable and confident. Look for fashion inspiration and try different styles that empower you. This can include body-positive models, other BBW, curvy influencers, and stylists.

7. Avoid Comparing Yourself to Others:

Remember, everyone's journey is different and everyone's bodies are different. Focus on your own goals, development and celebrate what makes you unique. Remember, you are worthy of love and care just as you are. 

Loving oneself as a BBW is about acceptance, respect, and embracing every curve on your body!

How to be and feel Sexually Empowered!

 

Feeling sexually empowered means feeling confident and comfortable with one's sexual desires, preferences, boundaries, and decisions. Here are some tips on how to feel more sexually empowered:

1. Recognize Your Desires and Needs: Take time to understand and recognize what turns you on, what makes you feel good, and what your sexual boundaries are. Do not be afraid to communicate your needs to your partner(s) and prioritize your own pleasure.

2. Set Boundaries: Setting clear boundaries is essential for feeling sexually empowered and safe. Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively, respect other people's boundaries, and ensure any sexual activity is 100% consensual.

3. Learn about Your Body: Explore yourself and learn about your body on your own terms. Try new things, research on new methods, and communicate with your partner(s) what specifically brings you pleasure during sexual activity.

4. Focus on Sexual Health: Taking care of your sexual health is empowering. Consult with healthcare providers, whether a doctor or therapist, for resourceful information and learn how to practice safer sex, get regular check-ups, and address any concerns without feeling shame.

5. Reject Shame and Guilt: Reject the idea that sexual desires are bad, dirty, or shameful. Instead, embrace your sexuality without feeling guilty or ashamed.

6. Establish Healthy Relationship with Yourself and Others: Prioritize healthy relationships built on trust, mutual respect, communication, and safety. Establish relationships that allow you to feel seen and heard while feeling confident to always communicate without fear of judgement.

7. Educate Yourself on Your Rights: Familiarize Yourself with your Human Rights, and understand what from a legal point of view is deemed violation of one's rights, this can go a long way in helping you make informed decisions about your own sexuality.

Remember, feeling sexually empowered comes from within. It is a journey and a process that requires self-awareness, self-love, and self-care.
