Dating is something that is a normal part of life. You get your heart broken a few times, but still allow yourself to give your heart away multiple times until you find that right person. Dating isn’t easy, but being a bigger girl while dating has its challenges.
Meeting someone that you wish to pursue is scary. Appearance is the first thing they see. What are they going to think about you simply because you have more weight than another girl? You constantly put yourself down because you think you’ll be unwanted just for being bigger.
Someone decides to give you a chance and you two go on a date. He wants to take you to dinner. What do you eat? Should you eat the steak meal you normally eat there or do you opt for a salad? Honey, eat what you eat. If he cannot accept that, he isn’t the one.
You get past the dinner date and you make it official. He gives you the cliché article of clothing, which you probably asked for yourself. Suddenly you’re having a mini panic attack wondering if you’re going to fit into it, because he is noticeably smaller than you are. If you cant fit it, keep it anyways! You can be proud to have it and just not wear it. They probably wont notice either way.
Pictures. You want to take pictures beside them but you’re afraid you’re going to look like a monster compared to their tiny frame. You look just as beautiful standing next to them as you do alone. Take the picture and cherish it.
Girls, if you find yourself feeling this way in any of these situations or more, remember that you are absolutely beautiful no matter your size. Someone will absolutely love and adore you - don’t settle for anything less. It is hard to want to be yourself in these situations, but you should be. Have fun dating, but don’t forget to love yourself. Loving yourself is the key to others loving you.
