It was such a wonderful day!

My wedding dress was from lulus The change was from SHEIN Tennis are torrid Crown form the ren fair My HUSBAND is wearing jospeh a bank

Hopefully this is allowed because I looked through the wiki and didn’t see if this was against the rules or not, sorry mods!

I was shocked to be asked but they really seem to care about inclusion. It’s Shop Active Booty by the YouTuber The Fitness Marshall. This is not an ad for them, just wanted to share with you guys that there are brands out there who care about showing off the “wrong” plus size body type that I’ve always thought I was. It was a healing experience.

It's easy to feel that you're unlovable when you're fat/plus size/curvy/whatever you want to call it. But just because you feel like that, doesn't mean it's true.

Just wanted to share photos of two people in love who thought no one would love them because of their size but were proven wrong. We're getting married this December.

Our wedding was incredible. The dress was made for me by someone on Etsy. Earrings were Amazon. And makeup was mostly Jeffree Starr.

If you looked at my life on paper, the "societal script" says I should be drowning in shame. I’m 37. I’m a fat woman. I’m in year 3 of being single. And because of infertility, I don’t have the "standard" family package that everyone expects you to have by this age.

For a long time, I carried that stigma around with me. We are told that being a divorced, childless, larger woman is some kind of failure. But here’s the truth I’ve discovered: A bad relationship with a spouse eventually becomes a bad relationship with yourself.

When you are in a marriage that doesn't fit, you start to view your own body and your own worth through a fractured lens. You begin to shrink - not just physically, but emotionally. You stop trusting your intuition. You start to see your body’s perceived "failures," like infertility, as a reflection of your value as a person. You spend so much energy managing someone else’s moods or expectations that you lose the thread of who you actually are.

But something shifted recently.

After two years of doing the work (showing up for myself at the gym, leaning into my hobbies like pottery and photography, and putting the extra energy into my career as a special ed teacher) the shame has started to evaporate. I realized that the "peace" I was looking for wasn't at the end of a marriage or a specific clothing size; it was in the quiet moments where I finally stopped fighting myself.

To anyone else out there feeling like they’re "behind" or "too much" or "not enough": The stigma is a lie. You can be divorced, you can be childless, and you can be plus-size - and you can still be the most whole version of yourself you’ve ever been.

That "post-divorce glow" isn't about finding someone new. It's about finally coming home to yourself.

Therefore, here’s to all the single ladies in their 30s, 40s, and beyond killing it at life! 🥂

PS I love this dress. Yes, it might be tight but I feel super beautiful and sexy in it… so, haters can hate.

Dress Amazon (blue) and shein (orange) His clothes is all from kohls

Went to the opera and a diner with my friend

I absolutely adore it! I’ve been growing my hair out for about 5 years after buzzing my head in 2020. Once I had seen a jellyfish cut for the first time I knew that was what I wanted! Ive had my hair cut into a bob before and loved it! But never one with layers, so I was nervous, but my stylist was wonderful and helped me out by leaving my layers long! That way I don’t have to always style it! I’m very much a wash and go kinda girl! The curtain bangs are a first for me, I have been very anti-bang (on myself) for a long time because I have a very small forehead but I actually love the way that the look, both styled and unstyled! I’m excited to look in the mirror every time! Okay sorry about my rambling, let me get into the details!! First two pictures are right after, and having been curled and styled, next is freshly washed and dried. Last two pictures are where I was starting from! (Please excuse the background)

It’s crazy cause i have a love hate relationship with my photos but overall love that it was a day for us to celebrate our love. 💕

Shirt Kia Hat supreme. Who’s gonna let me work on their car?!

Saw this sign today and just had to laugh a little. I understand it’s more inclusive than maybe some stores, but to make yourselves sound so plus-size friendly and only go up to a 14 is… interesting.

Friends are cancelling on graduation plans left and right. I can’t buy a date to save my life. Hype me up because I’m not excited about anything right now.

Wanted to share a few pics from my wedding!

I have never felt sexier in my entire life! This dress fit me to perfection (from Kia Rely, similar to Azazie) and I want to be buried in it.

Well... I graduated this past Tuesday from my very unique program and I am still currently in school.

They didn't have the the hat thingy but I wore my favorite fedora and my favorite Clarks.

I'm ultra proud of myself and I still believe I graduated from college!!!

I feel like I finally accomplished something massive in life especially after all the heartbreak, loss, grieving and suffering I'm still going through.

However I will and am continuing to move forward. To achieve more and be even more successful and prosperous in my post education and soon to be awesome career.

I GRADUATED!!!!!🥳🍻🧑🏿‍🎓🎊🎉
