My Story...

                                               

I've been meaning to create this blog for the longest time and i am really excited to finally get it going

first and foremost let me introduce my self my name is Mabontle Portia Mphosi a Plus Size Activist and founder of Sdudla Chronicles a brand that i solidly created to normalize plus size bodies into mainstream society.

I created Sdudla Chronicles with an intention to make the plus size world a better place because I found a gap; a section in society where women i identify with are either heckled or not appreciated. That’s where my courage to create the blog came from. Sdudla Chronicles is meant to inspire and motivate women of all ages that are struggling with body confidence, to take them through a journey of accepting, dealing with and embracing their imperfections.

Learning to love yourself regardless of your size is one of the most crucial and beneficial gifts that a person can give themselves. Our modern world is obsessed with physical appearances. From the time we are babies, society sends a message that our desirability and value as a person is somehow linked to the way that our bodies are formed. Overcoming these social messages can be a lifelong challenge, but becoming comfortable with your body is an important step in developing a healthy relationship with yourself and your body.

I have not always been the confident person that I am today growing up I was bullied and called every horrible name you can think of which affected my confidence and self esteem.
Until one day I told myself it’s not really about what people think of me but what I think of myself. Body acceptance is very essential.
Accepting my self for who and what I am was the best thing I did for myself I learned that loving my body and embracing my imperfections would get me further than hating it would I learned that confidence will make you happier than any diet ever will I just stopped caring about whether or not people think I'm fat or Thick or whatever it is that full figured women are associated with. I know what my body looks like when I look in the mirror but I got tired of covering up, tired of feeling bad about my body, feeling like I need to change my body in order to be accepted. It's been a hard road, but honestly I love the woman that I've grown into. I'm grateful for my bullies because without them I never would've learned to grow thick skin i never would've learned how to deal with the ugly people of the world.
So everything that i do i do it myself, for me to feel good about myself its not about the other person. You can get to a point where you can love yourself, it is possible. But you have to be willing to step outside of yourself, make yourself uncomfortable in order to become comfortable in who you are as a person.
