Are you a PROUD BBW? own it ladies

Pull out your best BBW pics ladies

Unfortunately I don't have any full body pics. But I was walking by my mirror the other day and just stopped and told myself; "Who the hell are these people that tell me how I should look, or what I should do with my life? I'm awesome and beautiful. I have an amazing fiance who loves me more than anything, and I need to love myself too!"

I have my crappy days still, specially now on the "crimson wave" but I'm really just like screw it to everyone who thinks I'm a "fat bride" or something dumb like that. I'm gonna rock my dress and look gorgeous!

We're all gorgeous!! =0)

You are SO beautiful!!! Own it! you are a real woman, sexy, confident and gorgeous!

I am & i love it woooohooo

Here are more of lovely me

I'm not ashamed to be me!

@Krystal the 5-star thief I'm sure you are fab just the way you are.@Michelle M. love the pics girl.@Lynley O.

You look great I love that pic.@hartshead (sharon) thanks girl

I completely agree with this, but I would also like to caution that statements like "skinny is 4 punks" don't help--they just try to replace one set of restrictive expectations about women's bodies with another one. While skinny women do not suffer anything LIKE the prejudice & mistreatment to which women who are above "normal" weight are subjected, they still get a lot of negative messages--that they must have eating disorders, that they are undesirable because they lack curves, etc. (I was 180 pounds in 2004; I am now about 130, with a "fighting weight"--my most fit, including a LOT of muscle mass--of about 124. I have a lot to say about the reactions I've gotten from people at different weights.)

The first pic below is one that was circulated online calling me a man (pulled from Flickr by strangers). Apparently they thought a woman shouldn't have shoulder muscles like that? Maybe the idea that I could kick their asses was emasculating? I pity the fool. (Pic #2 is more recent.)

(Take-away lesson: It doesn't matter WHAT you look like. Haters gonna hate.)

Well said Cabell - we are ALL beautiful and we should own THAT!

Yes true we ALL are I just hate how the media are so mean to the BBW.

I have my good days and my bad days... lately, they are all bad days. I would like to be down to 150 and a size 10 again... I have a long way to go

1. I'm the girl on the left.

2. Me and FH (who has a VERY good metabolism...)

The media is absolutely fake and has no idea what a real woman is. the fact that they take an obviously already slender woman and photoshop her down to anorexic makes me sick.

Awww, you guys are all beautiful!! Yeah, I'm teeny tiny so I can't post here but I have health reasons why I have a hard time gaining weight. The media is just out to try and be judgmental and no one thinks about the repercussions that happen or other peoples feelings for that matter. My mom is always so self conscious of her weight and I keep telling her to stop thinking and caring about what people say or think.

@hartshead (sharon) it really is sad and they wonder why I youth look so down on each others in school and life. They are being told what beautiful is and if you do not fit that mindset than there most be something wrong with you. It really is sad. I had a friend in middle school that took her own life beacause the kids would not stop calling her fatty patty..and SOME of the teacher and parents do not do anything to help that poor kid. @heavnsnt128 you look great and we all have our good and bad days.

@cabell it was a joke so if offended anyone sorry...i have a wide range of friends all sizes so it was not to offend anyone

Well put antonette i have that issue in my house i a daughter who is plus size & one who is skinny & you would be surprised at how different society treats them

The only full body pics I have I was preggers in,lol.I've been pregnant so much in the last 3 years :p

I am a shortly, wide hipped girl. So I've been talked about my entire life. Not only do I have the weight, I've had the boobs since I was 10. LOL. Let me see if I can find a recent picture of me Full Body. These were in March, the weekend I got engaged!!! March 27th. Picture 1 is of me & FS taking our first 2gether photo in the Mirror overtop the Jacuzzi. And then #2 (I can't believe I am posting it) Is FS's favorite (&his doing. LOL.) & #3 is of me alone @ a pretty rock waterfall @ an attraction we went to.. you can see I am a larger short girl. But I've learned to love my body. Senior yr I was 169. By April 2009, I weighed 278. I went gym & health good crazy and got back down to 207. Now I teeter between 212 and 215.

@Michelle - my sister and i are the same, she's always been larger than I am, and when she was younger there was some resentment. However, as she gained more confidence as she got older, it got much better. She's gorgeous and my god this woman has the most beautiful hair on the planet, she definitely got the good hair gene. I got the thin, straggly shit and has this flowing main of thick hair. She is one of the most beautiful women I know and i'm jealous of her hair, her fashion sense, her boobs (so much so that i bought mine..lol). Plus she's 10 years younger than me...biatch
