Plus size VS. fat. For my body, there is a difference.

I've never been a tiny girl.  I've been larger all my life.  I stand 6' tall and have the shoulders of a line backer.  Yes, I am plus sized.  That being said, I can also be fat.  There is a difference as far as I am concerned.
When I am lean, have no extra rolls and just have an hour glass figure, I am plus sized.  Once the flab hits and I have perpetual muffin top (even when not wearing anything) I am fat.  Yes, fat.  Right now, I'm fat.  I'm not plus sized.  I'm super plus sized.  Not cool.

I love to see a woman with curves.  Healthy, beautiful curves.  Some are thicker than I am, some are not.  What bugs me is when they say "I'm not fat, I'm plus sized" when they clearly could lose at least 20lbs and be healthy.  I think we are obsessed with labels.  So, I'm no longer looking at my size as "plus" or "regular" or "miss" or whatever.  My size needs to be "healthy".  Healthy, that's defined by a few factors. 
These factors include my BMI (body mass index) which can be calculated here, my muscle tone, and my general health.  NOT once did I mention the size of my clothing.

So, I'm getting healthy.  I may always fit in the "plus" category. So what.  What I'm most concerned with is fitting in the "healthy" category.  So far, I've lost some fat and gained some muscle.  Want to see how even though I walk with a cane?  Check out the link at the top of my page.  Come get healthy with me.  Vintage looks so much nicer when it's healthy!

I'm going to do this!

So today was my 6th anniversary!  I'm thankful to be married to a wonderful man.  Even more thankful that he still loves me in my present condition.  That condition, besides the ankle issue, is fat.  I got fat.  No two ways about it. 
So, I'm a huge advocate for being comfortable in your own skin.  Yes, I love me the way I am but...I know I could be a better me.  So here it goes.  I've made the choice, done a huge amount of research, and I'm on it. 
What am I talking about?  Beachbody.  Wanna find out more?  Well, check out this link: click here.
Is is going to work? Well, just watch me.  I'm so totally committed to this that I actually posted my current picture...a horrible, fat roll revealing one.  That, my friends, that will be my before.  Just wait until you see my after.  I'm doing Slim in 6 and using Shakeology. Check it out.  What have you got to lose...maybe some love-handles?

I'll keep you posted or you can just watch me...
