Plus Size Forum

I wore a bold crop top for the first time last week and survived! But some days, even my fave jeans feel blah on me. What’s your 1 trick to feel confident when doubt creeps in? For me, I do mirror pep talks! Share your go-to hacks. I need your inspo.

Try and talk to someone you really trust to point out some issues and try and overcome to feel better about yourself.

I do selfies, even when I am having the worst days. It enables me to look at myself and feel good about myself. And I dress up in a way that makes me feel comfortable too.

Music makes me feel like my own person. I play banger tunes, practice my moves in front of the mirror and tell myself that I deserve to be in my size. It's really the perfect size for me.

Establishing body confidence as plus-size begins with dressing to feel good about yourself. You could also wear bright colours or fitted dresses that fit your curves. I also get inspiration from the plus size community on X, deeonesplussize.com, biggirlswithoptions.com and I keep telling myself that the size of my body does not portray my worth.

Surround yourself with people who are positive and give you complements. This can make you feel better about yourself, and help you build confidence with your body.
