Lately everything has been pretty hectic. I've suffered through an immense amount of loss, I've gotten an offer to work somewhere completely different to what I usually do, and my YouTube collaboration project is growing more than I thought it would!
I'm forever in debt to the people who have been there for me in the past few weeks: Jimmy, Taylah, my sister, my mother, Jessie and many more.
Unfortunately i've strayed from my original exercise/diet regime, which I plan on resuming ASAP, and it's taken a toll on my motivation and self esteem, mainly on my dress size. A size 16 isn't that bad when you put it into perspective, but it feels like a sucker punch to the gut when someone reminds you that you are in fact 'plus sized'.
I don't quite understand why being a curvy girl equals being plus sized, and why there are negative connotations behind having a voluptuous body, all logic has escaped me on that topic; and it annoys me more-so when that cute dress I want isn't available in my size, because they only stock up to size 14?! What a crock of bullshit in my opinion, embrace all body types. Make maxi dresses for those who have to hem them, not everyone is 5'9", and give rompers a little more room for your vagina to move about, I don't exactly enjoy having an incessant camel toe thanks, us taller girls enjoy a flirty floral jumpsuit as much as the next person.
That's just my two cents on that topic. I'm going to be doing a similar rant on the media portrayals of 'perfection' on my YouTube channel, make sure to look out for that!
Catch you guys later,
Taylor
