“They told me, “You’re going to look so wonderful once you lose a few kilos” and “Just think of all the gorgeous clothes you’ll be able to wear”.

My name is Charlotte, and I am 18-year-old girl from Wanganui. I moved to Auckland in 2013 to study live sound and event production at MAINZ, to further my career in the live sound industry. I love music, art, comics and expressing myself. View Post

Don’t be afraid to feel like the most attractive woman in the room. Stop letting the fear of rejection and ridicule rule you. Put an end to feeling like you are less of a woman than someone in a different shaped body.
I come from a family of big women: big boobs, big thighs and big jiggly bums. Although I’ve always thought of my Mum, my Auntie and Granny as beautiful women, I could never recognise the beauty in me until I learned to love myself. View Post
My Story: Love The Skin You’re In
Intelligent. Curvy. Brunette. Awkward. Writer. Maori. Ambitious. Caring. Photographer. Confident. Student. Hypermobile. Fat.
All of these words describe me, yet there is only one that people spit at me like it’s a dirty word that they can’t wait to get out of their mouth. There is only one adjective that people see as negative. Fat. View Post

“The hatred I had for my body could have sent me over the edge, I didn’t treat myself well or have any respect for myself. It took a really long time for me to understand that I didn’t hate my body, I loved myself just as I was, I hated that everyone else felt like it was their right to try and drag me down, that everyone felt like they had a right to comment on my size.” View Post
