Interesting enough i was most happiest when i was a nice curvy size 14 more then when i was a size 10 or 12, ... best thing i ever did was do a modeling course at the age of 30 and i was a size 14, believe me i'm NO stunner but i knew i liked ME inside & out and i could carry it off looking kind of good i guess without thinking that i didn't.

I would go to a model or casting job and strip down to my underwear when we had to change and i would do it right in the middle of a room full of guys and girls ... and the thing i was most amazed was how the skinner the chick the quicker she ran to the corner of the room to change. And my standing in the middle mean't less chance of anyone looking at me as they were too busy looking at the wall & getting changed, and also i felt proud to be the ' bigger ' one who could stand amongst everyone and take that chance if they looked and hope they thought WOW that took balls, lol

With that tool (just as Nai mentioned) i want to carry that train of thought on to my DD ... Do it for YOU first then our child ... it can't be around the other way as it wouldn't work that way as you are as Nai mentioned the ' role model ' (teacher too).

So my only advice if you had the time & could ever afford it a modeling/deportment class is just fab for your body image ... just make sure it's a school with a high reputation
