Embrace your Inner Goddess

             Embrace Your Inner Goddess

This is for all you plus-size goddesses out there . I sell plus-size clothing for a living and I cannot tell you how often I see women come in with low self esteem, simply because they are a plus-size.  I believe there is some truth to the saying "more of me means more of me to love" but I also believe this means we should start by learning to love ourselves.  Always remember, your size has nothing to do with your self worth.  We are as valuable to the world and as worthy of love as anyone who is a size 6. Oprah Winfrey has called being overweight the "Last acceptable prejudice in america", and it's a shame that it is.  We can change things by first loving ourselves and realizing that what other people think of us is not important, it's how we feel about ourselves that matter.  We need to get out from under the stigma of being overweight. We are all goddesses and need to appreciate ourselves as such. (have you seen the pictures of ancient Greek Goddesses? These women are not skinny, skinny women don't qualify.)  In the future I will explore ways we can feel better about ourselves and begin to change other people's perceptions as well. Stay tuned.
