Inspiration - Robyn Lawley, HOT Plus Size Model!

 I super applaud Ralph Lauren for taking on Aussie hottie Robyn Lawley as their new plus-size model!

Robyn is just stunning as the gal with the curves and seriously, not everyone is size 8! (size 0 whatever in the US)

I think she looks great and its a really good move on behalf of Ralph Lauren to market her instead of the usual skinny chics. Not saying skinny chics are bad but skinny chics are just genetically made that way, you can't BECOME a super skinny chic if you're just naturally not made that way!

So girls, it's ALRIGHT IF YOU'RE NOT A SUPER SKINNY MODEL. CURVES ARE COOL!

More great photos of her here and a sweet video

Robyn also loves FOOD! She has a great food blog which she records all the awesome things she's eaten 

Inspiration - From Flab to Fab - Shea Standefer

Shea Standefer, an avid Star Wars cosplayer did this very brave thing last week.
She decided to show a Before and After picture of herself.



Shea says:

"I have worked really hard in the last year to change my lifestyle by eating healthier and exercising on a regular basis. I would love to be one of those girls who is just naturally thin and can eat anything without ever exercising (who wouldn't?), but I simply don't have that kind of metabolism. That's me on the left a few years ago, at around 145 lbs and 5'4". I know I was by no means obese, and there are so many beautiful women out there of all sizes who rock all sorts of body types, but I was not comfortable in my body, and when you aren't comfortable in your own skin you will never feel attractive."

"I am now about 120 lbs, and living healthier just makes me feel sexier. Keeping the weight off will always be a challenge for me, because seriously, I could eat an entire pizza by myself, but I have some great people in my life who encourage and support my eating healthier and running. I am registered for my first half-marathon in January! Coming from someone who could barely run 1/4th of a mile a year ago, I am so proud of myself."

My inspiration at the moment

I have never been so into fitness as I am now at this point in my life. I'm really motivated to achieving my goals more then ever. It's a great feeling.

Also eating healthier became a part of my everyday routine (not that I would say no to my precious pieces of chocolate theehee~). Combine those two, exercising and eating more healthier meals, and you will start feeling a lot better. Not only about your appearance, but also about your inner beauty. That is the most important goal for me. 

Why? Because, believe it or not, I struggle with a lot of insecurities. Most girls do. So I'm trying to make a sort of change in the ways I tend to think about myself sometimes. Only letting positive energy in :).

I really love the feeling after an intense workout ♥. 

Years ago I would say to myself: "Tomorrow, I will start eating healthier and exercise more!" 
Next day: "Okee, tomorrow I will really start." 
The day after: "Tggg, I can eat what I want... I will eat all chocolate that I want!! You know why? Because when you are older you can't eat it as much as when you are younger.." * starts eating chocolate bar* ....

Now I finally slapped myself in the face, got motivated and stayed like that. What I got back in return for it?
I lost some pounds, I have more energy now, more stamina and the best of all feeling better about myself.

It is fun how people start noticing you lost some pounds. I never see it myself haha.

And then this is how I feel: YATTAAAAA!

A lot of girls look into magazines and compare themselves with the models in there. They look at their flawless faces, skinny bodies, gorgeous hair... Now stop it right there!! Most of those pretty ladies are photoshopped to the fullest. Don't compare yourself with them. You have got to work with what you've got. 

So this are some of my inspiration pictures. No, I don't want to look like them! I just like the way they carry themselves. Most of them are sizes bigger than your average models you see in your magazines all day, but that doesn't matter to them. I like toned, fuller figures hehe, they kind of look more healthier to me:

Amber Rose

Melanie Iglesias ( She is a little bit thinner )

Rihanna

Kim Kardashian ♥_♥

Forgot her name, sorry.

Jessica Alba ( my fav actress )

Especially Kim and Amber have more flesh on their bones. I admire them for that. Because we live in a world with the media saying girls have to be thin to look beautiful. I thinks that's bullllllllll.....! :)


I would never wanna look like this: 

 I think she is very pretty, but waaaaaaaaay to skinny if you ask me.

It kind of scares me.. lol.

I just wanted to post this blog to let it out and maybe hope to change some peoples way of thinking. Because making a change starts with yourself. You have to put in the effort to accomplish things you want. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this post. BTW, all those pictures aren't mine!

Have a great night/day :D bubaaaaay!
