Being a larger female I have always struggled with self acceptance and learning to love myself. I find everyday I am in a constant battle with what to wear. What will look good and what I feel comfortable in. Most the time it’s black leggings and a larger t-shirt and my vans.
But recently I have noticed I am branching out more I am looking a clothes I wouldn’t normally go anywhere near. But I find myself gravitating towards them. This all coming from a new look on life that I have and changing my normal ways.
I have been diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which is a result of my weight and my moods and my life being what it is. I have only just started to read about what PCOS actually is and what it involves. I find it scary to think that I couldn’t bare my own children one day. I want more than anything to be a mother and have a family of my own. Only time will tell and all I have to do is stay positive.
Developing a love for yourself is a hard and challenging journey. I have been trying for years and I am still in doubts about certain aspects of my body. I found that by thinking in the way of that I am the only one that can change what I look like and how I feel about myself. So as I am learning I am growing.
