Welcome to Volume 10 of my Summer Chronicles. Click here if you would like to read my most recent volume (about Kesha's new single). Kesha has had some body issues and so have I. Because of this, I decided to celebrate being curvy with 9 moments every curvy girl can relate to:

1. When you finally find a pair of jeans that fits nicely

Pics or it didn't happen!

2. When you hear the phrase “bikini body”

Mmmkay, every body is a bikini body!

3. When you’re proud of the way you pull off that retro outfit

High waisted shorts forevah!

4. When you find shorts that aren't too short

The length of your legs doesn't seem to be a factor.

5. And don’t even get me started on dresses

The "chub rub" is real.

6. When you surprise gym rats

Yes, I am here to seriously workout. Just because I lack an athletic build doesn't mean I lack athletic abilities!

7. When you put on your favorite pair of leggings

It feels like a hug around each leg.

8. Layering every shirt so you are socially appropriate

Excuse me, ma'am, would you please return to your assigned seat?

9. When your friend compliments your figure

What?! Thanks, honey!

No matter your size or shape, you were created beautifully. Every body is worth celebrating! Instead of comparing ourselves to those we admire, we should be encouraging each other.
