Thick or sexy-curvy? How I freed myself and my body from pigeonholing

Thick or sexy-curvy?  How I freed myself and my body from pigeonholing

Since I was a teenager, I’ve been chubby, pug-like or voluptuous – depending on which word is currently in vogue. Society decides whether I look fat or sexy-curvy. I first had to learn to detach myself from these attributions. And I finally feel comfortable in my body, no matter what it looks like.

How much time have I lost looking at myself? Pressing on my thighs, watching my stomach, wondering whether there was too much on the plate. Until my mid-twenties, I wasted a lot of time on how I looked and what I would like to change about it. Until one morning I woke up and decided: I’m not interested in it anymore, it annoys me – I’m never going on a diet again.

It worked.
