Becoming BoPo

This next post is about how I got to where I am now and how I got more comfortable with my body.

Turning 30...

When I was 26 I wrote a letter to myself to open when I turned 30. When I opened it the first line of it said, something along the lines of by now you should be thin, I will only accept you not being thin if you’re pregnant, how messed up is that?
My first thought for goals to hit leading up to being 30 was to be thin!

Body Positive Power...

In 2017 I bought myself a very useful birthday present. Megan Jayne Crabbe’s Body posi power! This was only the beginning.

Intuitive Eating...

This is something I still struggle with now.I could still give you a calorie estimate onwhatever meal I’m eating, it’s like a built in calculator that I don’t want. However, I’ve become better than I used to be.

Plus size Fashion...

I’ve taken more selfies and fashion photos since I’ve become bigger. As well as giving myself permission to eat what I feel like eating, I’ve also given myself permission to wear what I feel like wearing. I’ve experimented with colour and style and I’m currently on the hunt for another wardrobe because I’ve outgrown my 3 door!

Lingerie Love...

Wearing nice underwear makes me feel amazing! I love the feel and the look and ithelps me to feel confident, even though only myself and insta folk see it. It helps that I am one of those privalliged hourglasscurvy fats and I count myself lucky for that every day.

More next week...

Lots of love - K xxx

    This was a really interesting read. Seeing how confident you are now, I was a bit shocked at what 26 year old you wrote but it goes to show how far you have come with celebrating yourself and being proud of yourself. I am proud of you for getting to this point! And I love all your fashion photos - can’t wait to see your looks when you get the new wardrobe space!

What’s this all about?

Hi, I’m Kayleigh, In today’s intro I’m going to tell you a little bit about me and a little bit about what to expect from this blog! So, Firstly, I’ll quickly catch you up on the last 30 years in some fun bullet points: I came into the world to the sound of Erasures ‘A little respect’ (I have no cast iron proof of this of this but it was number one at the time, so it’s a high possibility.) I am the eldest of three children, making me stereotypically - Bossy, Ambitious and mature beyond my years. All of which are also true. The first of which my siblings and close friends can most definitely attest to. Although I have known since I was around 5 years old that I have anxiety, I was only diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in October last year, when I was also given effective treatment, hence the ‘Sertraline’ part of my blog name.  On to the blog... I’ve chosen self love with it being such a broad subject.  I’m going to be writing candidly abo
