Am I my weight.

I am intelligent just like my thin friends .

Am I less beautiful because I m thick. Why am i expected to be thin and therefore beautiful. I am an African and proud of all the curves on my body.

Am i less of a woman because i am thick.

Am i less attractive because I m thick.

Does my thickness make me less sexy ?

Do you know that I eat healthy for most of my days even more than my thin friends.

Do you know that I m healthier than most of my thin friends .

My journey of weight started the day I was born.

I was a thick bouncy baby .

I do not know any other body than the one I live in now .

The body I have lived in since birth.

The same body that saw me play mgusha as a kid . The same body that saw me play squash in high school .

The same body that was a sprinter in high school.

This same thick body saw me get a degree in tertiary .

My body is not my brain.

I have a sound mind , body and soul.

I am not less of a person because I am thick.

I am not different because society determines that i am, just because I m thick.

I am a woman , I am beautiful, intelligent, funny , loving and lovable.

I am tthinking

I am healthy

I love my body .

I live in it

I ve lived in it since birth .

I know no other body except mine.

I contribute to the economy just like my thin friends

I am a woman,

I am a consumer ,

My money is the same as the one from my thin friends.

I am a woman ,

I am thick

I am healthy and I am a beautiful .

Treat me with respect.

I dont have to account to you because I m thick .

My thickness does not equal to laziness.

I am me and I am unique.
