Me and my journey + inspirations!

I started this blog as a place to track my 2021 fitness goals. But I also decided that I would like to share some other people and their body positive blogs and content!

What I found was a plus size fitness industry of monetized blogs that are all trying to sell themselves or their products. I am not selling anything! All links to products are just because I LOVE the product! I understand that the bloggers that are monetizing are business women trying to make a living and kudos to them, but I prefer to read the stories of everyday women struggling to balance their health and fitness goals and their daily life.

So, I have added a blog list of body positive blogs to my left sidebar, many are commercial websites but they do have blogs, podcasts etc. that are inspiring for curvy women to keep us inspired to participate in health and fitness activities despite many in the fitness industry pushing body images that aren't anything like our own.

When I was considering whether to buy a Feet Up trainer all the Youtube videos and marketing I saw featured ultrafit body types. That didn't help me at all. I was thinking 'just because a 100lb woman can do Feet Up inversions doesn't mean I can' then I found this video:

Suddenly I was thinking 'if she can do it I can too' it was empowering! That is the point of body positive blogging, it isn't actually about me, it is about empowering others like me to believe they can participate in the fitness world!
