Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm 16 and noticing my body is changing, you are such an inspiration to me. I've struggled with self confidence too. Do you have any tips on how to stay confident? And where do you buy your clothes? I can never find anything that fits a curvy body shape! Lol thanks


Answer:

Well I am glad to be an inspiration…Yes 16 was a crazy age for me too..I have always been taller and bigger boned so that along with braces and short boys didnt help with my confidence boost :) But I need to admit my confidence came with age and time…also for some reason I didnt think that anyone else was feeling that low self esteem and lack of confidence but that was something once I grew I learned I was so wrong about, all of your peers are feeling it, trust me. I get a lot of my stuff at H&M, flowy tops ect…Victoria Secret has some good blouses and shoes that come in my big 10-11 size foot :) …but I am kinda a random shopper, boutiques ect and any times there are jeans that are long a gotta buy them, those had always been the hardest for me to find…one item i learned was my friend and i was upset i didn’t wear it more in high school..was dresses!! i don’t no what I was thinking…but you’ll grow into your self and you’ll find a body and weight that is comfortable for you, I lost my 50 lbs this last year ( cause I wasn’t happy but also have bad diabetes that runs in my family)  and I have learned that this 12-14 size is the one that I feel the sexist and most confident in, givin my height and features!! and move at your own pace…. hang in there…it will get better ..promise
