We all need to feel empowered. We are amazing! We need to support each other. If you see another girl wearing a swimsuit and she looks nervous, tell her she is beautiful. No matter what size she is, big or small, because thin women have just as many self criticisms as plus size women do. Whether you chose to wear a fatkini, bikini, tankini, one-piece, or shorts and t-shirt this summer, do it with a smile on your face and own it! Like I tell people that express to me how they wish they could have the confidence I do, “Fake it till you make it.” Eventually you’ll start believing it too.
