Girl:
Confidence &
the Plus Size
Woman
By Shadaria Allison
O
ne day while in-
tently staring at a
red tinted picture of a
plus size model stand-
ing a staggering 5”2
with leather black pants,
“Beatles” shades, and
a stare that read some-
where between the lines
of beauty meets beast;
all while being over
200 pounds, I realized;
confidence is the quint-
essential asset of every
plus sized woman.
Let’s talk three ways to
accessorize your con-
fidence in a way that
benefits the present and
future you.

1. SPEAK
POSITIVE!
We all know that the world we live in was shaped in God’s
Image by the hands of his WORDS!
He spoke a thing into being; and it was. Such capabilities he
also extends to his women; expecting that we will use the gift
of our tongue to create our own personal heaven on earth.
One way to exercise this ability is to write a daily affirmation
list. Create a list that states your purpose in a positive light,
your looks in a confident and assertive way, and your goals
out of honest perspectives. It’s time for you to love what you
say, and to say what you love about yourself.
Example: “I am Beautiful” “I will succeed” “I have a success-
ful plan”.
