HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves. ...

YOUR WEIGHT SHOULD NOT AFFECT HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF

-


When you get past the age of 25, everything starts to sag.

You gain so much weight so fast and before you know it you are asking yourself what the hell just happened.

In a blink of an eye you have gained so much weight and even just being in the same room with a cupcake or smelling ice cream makes you gain a couple more.

Okay I am not talking about you (wink), I am talking about what happened to me.

One day I was 62kgs and before I knew it I was 80 kilograms and depressed wondering what the hell is wrong with you woman.

A few months later and some kilograms down later, I came to realize that I was never going to look or be “perfect.”

A few rolls of fat on our stomach is normal.

Cellulite is even more normal.

Stretch marks are like war prizes.

There is nothing that fluctuates more in this life like weight, one year you get stressed and you lose all your weight and at times you have a good year and gain some weight.
It changes every day.

Some days you gain some weight, some days you lose some weight.

I do not feel like you should let something that flexible control your life.

Something that can change in the blink of an eye should not control your happiness.

Lori Zanini who is an RD and CDE says "with so much emphasis on weight loss these days, people are trained to believe that their weight isn't good enough. This is unfortunate because it causes unnecessary stress on people who may be perfectly healthy just the way they are.

I had to learn to love and accept myself for who I was, I had to realize that I was enough.
That is the hardest thing I ever had to do and I tried to write each and every step out for you in my books Finding Balance, Finding Faith, Finding self-love and Finding Confidence. 

You can grab a free copy from this link lynnachieng.com.
If you cannot find time to read the whole book here is a chapter to remind you why your happiness should not be controlled by your weight:

Yesterday night I was bored and I took a torch and shined it on my body. Piece of advice doesn’t ever do that especially after having something wheat-based for dinner. It does not look good. Let us just say my journey to self-love took a big hit. 

 Then today in the morning I shone the torch again and the pot belly I was worried about was all gone. Maybe I was bloated last night or I just over-ate who knows? But a piece of advice if you want to shine a torch on your body or look at yourself in the mirror then please do it in the morning. It boosts confidence. 

 One more tip, if you look at yourself in the mirror please focus on the parts you like best about your body. See how much you have a small waist do not focus on how fat your hips are. Take pride in your hourglass figure. If you are proud of the way you’re hips and butt look then please look at that. If you are a guy and you like the way your d**k looks please go ahead and look at that. Just saying. 

 By focusing on what makes us feel great about being us we end up buying clothes that flatter what wants to be flattered. Using me as an example, I tend to buy clothes that emphasize the fact that my waist is smaller than my hips. This works for me and I feel confident and sexier like that.

  Not saying that if you like your d**k you should go out there showing it to everybody but probably buy nice boxers or briefs that just say I am taking care of myself. Buy something nice that fits you that says I love my body the way it is. I wish they had recommended shopping as a class in school, I would have aced it. Okay sorry, I am getting off topic but I do love a good shopping spree. Anyway where was I, right, we all love something about our body. 

 We have something that other people do not have, find your something and be proud of it. I must say taking the 30-day yoga journey with Adriene helped me out a lot because I took about twenty minutes to thirty minutes a day to learn stuff about myself. Sometimes the best way to spend time is with yourself.

  Do you know that one side of your body can be fatter than the other? Mind blowing right? I did not know that my right side was actually thicker than my left until I was doing a downward dog one day and I looked at my thighs and thought, mmmh that’s odd.

  I recommend taking the finding balance journey; it can be amazing to your mental health as it helps you explore who you are. I am not saying it must be on the yoga with Adriene channel, there are many yogis out there choose your favorite. If you do not want to do yoga then just meditate daily, it is amazing. 

 Today someone I know called me “thick” and I was like yeah I know. Before my finding balance journey, I would have been pissed and angry. Probably not talked to them for a while to show them that I am angry. But what am I really showing them? That I am not “thick”? Because I am.

  I am at that point in my life where I have partially accepted myself for who I am. If someone is going to judge me then let it be me, I will not let someone else bring me down. Also, I have changed most of the people I follow on social media platforms like Instagram, I still follow the models and singers but I have accepted that is not my reality. I am following people who look somewhat like me and are proud to look the way they do. A few examples include Simmons, Trisha Khalid, and Joy Kendi. I am not saying you have to follow these exact people but please find someone who makes you feel good about yourself and follow them. 

 And I am writing this entry in my underwear so I know what I am talking about. Sometimes it is just too damn hot for you to wear clothes indoors. So take them off and let loose, I am. 

 Loving yourself goes beyond loving how you look, sometimes it is all about perception. All you have to do sometimes is to accept that there are something’s you cannot control.

  Do not sweat over that stuff instead concentrate on what you can control.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT DO IT YOURSELF.

Do It Yourself TO SUCCESS. The saying goes that if you want something done right, you better do it yourself yet successful people have come to learn that if you want it done right delegate. The trick is in finding a balance between doing it yourself and delegating duties. I still believe that when you want to make it, especially at the beginning of your business the trick is to do it yourself. By doing it yourself, you get to learn new stuff and know your business inside out. You get to shape your company’s foundation just the way you want it to be. That way you determine how your success will look like in future. Creative people understand this more than anyone else. You imagine something and take it to the artisan to make it, and they end up ruining it. This is because they do not get the vision the way you do. Otherwise, if you want it done right then, you have to give very detailed instructions. Woe unto you if the artisan cannot read or visualize. When you do it yourse...
