KeepingUpWithKate: Self Confidence and How I Choose To Live My Life




Hello Glam Dolls,
Growing up I was over weight. I had no self confidence. I never stood up for myself, and because of that I got into some not so good relationships. Ones that did more damage on how I seen myself. I was always waiting around for that perfect person to come along and make me feel better about myself. If you are doing this right now, PLEASE STOP! It will never happen.




Confidence is something you have to gain for yourself. Never expect someone to give it to you, because remember, if they give it to you then that means they can easily take it away. About six years ago I decided to start taking better care of myself and really re-evaluate my life. I lost around 70 pounds these past few years and took myself out of a really bad relationship. Once I realized I was worth more than how people were treating me I started to gain a backbone. Trust me, if I can get one anyone can.



You have to find out what makes you happy and make it happen for yourself. If it's something simple like taking off a few pounds and wearing makeup, do it. If it's what you want. You have to know your worth it, and you have to believe you are one of a kind. There is not one single person on this earth that is exactly like you.



I feel really bad for people who rely on their happiness and their confidence on the person they are in a relationship with. I have done this may times in the past and it has lead to nothing good. Look in your mirror and start to like what you see. Never compare how you look to someone else. Never wish you had someones body, and never feel envious of other people in any way. Be happy for them, and work towards your goals!Focus on you and get what you want.




I choose to live my life by not caring what other people think. A lot of people mistake this for being cold. I am a very compassionate person, I just have no room for negativity. You have no idea how much negativity weighs down on your self confidence.

I have always been a curvy girl. For the longest time I was always insecure about this. I can honestly tell you that I love my body. I feel blessed to have what I have, and I think you all should feel the same way. No one else out there looks the same as you. That alone is a beautiful thing.



I get upset when I see other girls putting down other females for wearing makeup. I hear a lot of the time “if you're so confident, then why do you wear makeup.” I do not get my confidence from wearing makeup. I feel perfectly comfortable in my own skin. I do not feel the need that I have to wear it. I enjoy wearing it, and it makes me feel good about myself. I wear makeup everyday. I love big hair and I wouldn't change that about myself. Whatever makes you happy and feel good, do it. Doesn't matter if other people understand or approve. This is all about you and your journey to love yourself and appreciate what you have.




I love you guys so much. You have all been so supportive toward me with trying to make my dream come true. I am forever appreciative!!! Thank you all so much for reading, and I will talk to you all in my next post!!!

Remember, you do not have to explain to anyone why something makes you happy, or why it makes you feel good.
