Bra Woes

Posted by Taryn Belle on May 21, 2008

Black Sensuous Plunge Lace And Gem Microfiber Bra
Ever had trouble with your bra? Ever wished that one day you’d wake up and BAM, no more agonizing back pains from your stupid bra digging into your shoulders and pulling you down.
We all deal with bra woes in one form of another. My bra straps don’t dig into my shoulders, but I get back pains and I’m not always supported in a way that satisfies me.
Torrid’s new Seductive Bra Collection™ Helps with this just fine. I find that the cups give me just the right support that I need to hit the town and not feel self conscious that my bra makes my boobs look too low. or the cup flattens me out, or any of the things we as plus size girls deal with. Plus, they have a couple of cute patterns too.

My personal favorite is the Black Sensuous Plunge Lace And Gem Microfiber Bra (To the right.)

Happy Bra Hunting Girls!

From the start.

Love your body!
I should start by saying HELLO! My name is Taryn, I’m 19 and I’m a plus sized girl. I’ve always been plus sized ALL MY LIFE. So it should come to no surprise that I’m writing this blog. Let me be honest here, being plus sized isn’t always easy, and it’s not for everyone. I like to tell my friends, “I didn’t choose to be plus sized. it chose me and it’s up to me what I do with it.” Now, I know right now you girls are thinking, “Hey Taryn! There’s nothing wrong with being plus sized! I’m a big girl and I love it!” And I agree whole heartedly. I’ve gotta be one of the most confident big girls out there. But not every plus sized girl is self confident, and some girls would rather be a normal size than be plus sized. And haven’t “got a feel for their own skin” yet.

And this blog is for all of these girls. With Plussizegirl.com I plan to encourage other full figured women to break out of the mindset that skinny is beautiful and love themselves for who they are. I want you guys to be able to stand naked in front of a mirror and love the skin you’re in. I’ve had all the highs and lows of being full figured and let me tell you, I’m proud of where I am right now. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I could be healthier. And that will come.
Let’s just say, this blog is a encourager for me, just like it will be for other plus sized girls. I want to explore all the aspects of being plus sized. And when this blog is done, (if it will EVER be done.) I want all of us to sigh and feel refreshed and happy that we ever spent time here and know in the deep of our hearts that being plus sized is the way to be.

So welcome to my blog, and if you have any questions, please ask!
Also, if you’d like me to cover any topics, leave that in the comments.

Thanks!

Taryn, Just another Plus Sized Girl.
