A few weeks ago, I went to a birthday party and wore this black strapless jumpsuit from Ashley Stewart. I haven't worn anything like this in years because I always thought that I wouldn't look sexy and that my arms would look horrible. I'm very self-conscious about my arms because I grew up in a household with a mother who is plus sized and very subconscious about having big arms. But, I sucked it up, put it on, and headed out to the party like I owned the place. Despite my hesitations and having to regroup with more flattering underwear, I felt pretty good in the outfit and quickly learned that I don't have to dread going out because of the "nothing to wear" drama. I just need to take the time to buy things that I will feel sexy in and go for it. I posted my look on facebook and got a lot of good feedback....a great confidence booster!

Starting Today
My name is Latashia Crenshaw and I am a curvy girl in search of her confidence. I've always had curves but after juggling two kids, a failed marriage, and a pretty successful but stressful career....I am 80 pounds heavier than I would like to be. I've tried every fad diet and have listened to people tell me how easy it is "if I just try!" Well...they are absolutely right. I have decided to "just try"; not to lose weight, but to find the confidence that I have lost in my appearance. I am going to try and love the skin I am in as I educate myself on ways to break 20 years of poor eating and lifestyle habits. I love to write, read, and play on Pinterest but I always find excuses for not having time to exercise or change up some organizational habits. I have decided to use the things that I enjoy to help me become a healthier me at my level and my pace.
This is not a weight loss blog, this is one woman's journal of her journey to becoming a confident curvy woman.
