So happy this is the beauty being promoted on Beautylish--of course, inner beauty first but this message is amazing. Approval comes from within and people may tell us how our bodies have to look but we decide what is beautiful in ourselves, big or small.

I've always had weight problems and this really just put me in a DEEP thought all my friends are small and I've always been the outsider that never wanted to go swim, wear shorts, tanks, ect because I was always afraid of what ppl thought about how I looked...this really helps! Much needed!

Thanks girl! I just hope I help one person to not go through what I did my whole life.

Being skinny and being healthy are NOT the same thing. Just because they're smaller than you doesn't make them any healthier.

Be proud of your hips. Honestly, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being bigger. Try lifting weights. You don't need to lose weight, if you're don't like the way you look try changing your body composition. (Decrease fat, increase muscle)

Like this pic. She technically gained weight but she's a lot smaller

You look beautiful Nala!!

Thanks so much for this post. I've been having a lot of self confidence issues. I'm 5'8" and weigh 120 but my friends are all twigs. My friends and I don't look good in the same clothes because I have bigger hips and it makes me feel so fat! Like every girl in my grade is a lot smaller than me! :/

I don't want to be stick-thin, I want to be healthy, but its so hard to remember when I see them in their 00 jeans or skipping lunch. I feel pressured to be like that :(

Well my doctor said it was just a side effect of carrying a lot of excess fat especially in your midsection. And the fat is all around your organs just puts a lot of stress on the organs.

It's not super uncommon.

Exactly Kaitlin! There's nothing wrong with being bigger as long as you're healthy. I mean to be honest, we're supposed to have fat on our bodies, it's healthy. The point is to just not have too much. I mean if you're healthy and your big, don't try and change because you think it's "better".

The main reason I stated losing weight is because I had gotten to the point that I stopped having my period. I went 4 months without them. (At my heaviest I was 189) I was put on birth control to force them to come every month. Since my weight had dropped below 180, I've had them every month.

I'll tell anyone losing weight and any person who has lost weight will say the same, if you don't fix your outlook about your body, no amount weight loss will help you.

Nikelle, believe me I know. I have to usually buy my bras from Lane Bryant which is funny because I'm not even plus sized. You should totally try them though.

I was like a giddy school girl when I tried this on! Lol I never thought I had a bikini body. But any body is a bikini body if you put a bikini on it

Great message! I battle with the daily problem of thinking that I'm overweight. (I'm 5'8" and I'm on the lower side of my weight numbers for my height) I have the curviest body out of all my friends, I'm a 36C and I have stretch marks on my boobs, thighs and hips. I've been working out and I lost 5 pounds, and I'm starting to get confident. It's all about how you feel, forget everyone else! xx

Renay, you're right!

Well said Beautiful Girl!!👌💐

You should Isabel! I feel like I wasted so many of my teen years ashamed of my body. I wore tankinis and hated it. I thought covering up would make me feel better but it didn't matter what I was wearing because I wasnt comfortable in my own skin. Know that you're beautiful girl, wear what makes you smile when you look in the mirror!

Nala you are too funny!
I've never attempted a two piece. I get mad enough just trying to find a bra that fits. and like you said it doesn't help that they have to cost so much more money.
@Jenny.. don't feel bad about any part of yourself. no one is perfect. I always say what makes you different from someone else just makes you that more special.

Nala, you look gorgeous! And I think I may end up buying a bikini this summer even though I'm not exactly small. You rock it, and you're makin me want to rock on too! Your confidence and yor gorgeousness are to die for! Stay stunning, darling💖
