Book excerpt: Are you ready for change?Are you tired of soul-crushing rejection, hook-up artists, and assuming quality men will not like you because of your clothing size? The guy that you liked, didn't like you back. Now you have settled into the Friday night routine of the catching up on your shows, surrounded by take-out and a carton of ice cream, in tears. The "not your type" guys are creeping on you, waiting for you to give in. Self-defeating negative thoughts plague you, tempting you to believe that nothing will ever change, and that you are just not enough? I get it, I know what it's like.If any of this feels familiar, then you have picked up the right book. Hi, I'm Daisy. I've been married for 11 years. I dated online and in person as a curvy, plus-sized woman, and met my husband as a curvy, plus-sized woman. During these years I have spent countless hours listening to, and talking with women about their dating lives. It was not until I started wellness coaching that the pieces started coming together. This happened by accident. I was just trying to get healthy myself, and then I chronicled my journey online, and eventually I had a following. Through this journey I met several single women who sincerely wanted to get healthy. However, there was a deeper cry, they wanted the love of their lives even more than a smaller jean size. S0, I decided it was time to tell my story. When I processed my story, I found that there were three non-negotiables. To have the relationship that I truly desired. These three attributes had to be in place: God-Centered, Authentic, and Committed. God-Centered: A foundation in Jesus for a healthy relationship. Authentic: Be authentically you and find someone who is authentically themselves, because putting up a facade is exhausting, and will have the opposite of it's intended effect. Committed: a relationship with someone who will be there through the good days and bad days, not looking for a way out whenever it is convenient for them.It's time to press delete on limiting beliefs, negative past experiences, and people who have rejected you and let you down. If you are ready to be the best version of yourself, take the necessary steps, and let yourself be seen for the beautiful amazing woman that you are, this is for you.

Download or read book Bad Fat Black Girl written by Sesali Bowen and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sesali Bowen is poised to give Black feminism the rejuvenation it needs. Her trendsetting writing and commentary reaches across experiences and beyond respectability. I and so many Black girls still figuring out who they are in this world will gain so much from whatever she has to say.”—Charlene A. Carruthers, activist and author of Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements “Sesali perfectly vocalizes the inner dialogue, and daily mantras needed to be a Bad Bitch.”—Gabourey Sidibe, actor, director, and author of This is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare “A powerful call for a more inclusive and 'real' feminism.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Bowen writes from an authentic space for Black women who are often left out of feminist conversations due to respectability politics, but who are just as deserving of the same voice and liberation.”—Booklist (starred review) From funny and fearless entertainment journalist Sesali Bowen, Bad Fat Black Girl combines rule-breaking feminist theory, witty and insightful personal memoir, and cutting cultural analysis for an unforgettable, genre-defining debut. Growing up on the south side of Chicago, Sesali Bowen learned early on how to hustle, stay on her toes, and champion other Black women and femmes as she navigated Blackness, queerness, fatness, friendship, poverty, sex work, and self-love. Her love of trap music led her to the top of hip-hop journalism, profiling game-changing artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and Janelle Monae. But despite all the beauty, complexity, and general badassery she saw, Bowen found none of that nuance represented in mainstream feminism. Thus, she coined Trap Feminism, a contemporary framework that interrogates where feminism meets today's hip-hop. Bad Fat Black Girl offers a new, inclusive feminism for the modern world. Weaving together searing personal essay and cultural commentary, Bowen interrogates sexism, fatphobia, and capitalism all within the context of race and hip-hop. In the process, she continues a Black feminist legacy of unmatched sheer determination and creative resilience. Bad bitches: this one’s for you.

Download or read book Beautiful at Any Size written by Stephanie Rainbow Bell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help heal your negative attitudes about body size and self-worth and provide new insights to raise your self-esteem and confidence. Women of ANY size will find comfort and inspiration in the cheerful and loving words of this motivational book based on the authors personal experience and deep emotional and spiritual wisdom about really seeing our own beauty and power and worth, regardless of body shape or size or weight. In the author's own words: "In my family, being fat was considered a sin. Well, to be honest, being overweight was a sin and fat-well THAT was just completely unacceptable! From a very early age, I got the message that something was wrong with my size and that it was all my fault. I learned very early in life that my body was something to be ashamed of, and I unconsciously adopted the belief that I, as a human being, was a failure because of how I looked. Of course, the bad news for me was that, at that time, food was the only sense of nurturing and comfort that was available to me. And, needing that nurturing and comfort as badly as I did, I "failed" every weekly weigh-in in my teenage years and didn't learn to drive until I was 22 and had been out of my parents' house for 5 years! It's taken me the better part of 50 years to finally get the message that my value as a human being is not defined by a number on the scale or the size of my clothes. And to also understand that my size is nothing to be ashamed of, and therefore -- neither is yours!"

Download or read book The Clothes Make the Girl Look Fat written by Brittany Gibbons and published by Dey Street Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sartorial follow-up to her hilarious memoir in stories, Fat Girl Walking, internet personality Brittany Gibbons once again deep dives into the world of the plus size woman, this time chronicling her love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with what fashion. From Pinterest boards and Instagram posts to shop windows and ad campaigns, fashion is everywhere. We shop and dress for practical reasons like job interviews or to make a good impression at the board meeting. We shop and dress for more adventurous reasons—for dates, to woo a lover, to catch someone’s eye. Clothes are armor for women, and we wrap a lot of meaning in what we choose to wear. As plus-size spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn’t only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of "why bother" can come crashing in. You can’t help but think "wouldn’t leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier?" Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles. Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An "overdue love letter" to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style—to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men’s undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve.
