THIS WEEK'S CURVY SITUATION OF THE WEEK IS

C. MICHELLE (THE PURPLE POET)

AGE: 49 -- HOMETOWN: ATLANTA, GA -- CURRENT CITY: CLAYTON COUNTY, GA

This week's Curvy Situation teaches kindergarten students and is and author/poet. "For years after having kids I battled with low self-esteem, where my husband would tell me that no other man would ever want me. After 2 failed marriages, I started soul searching and embarked on a journey to find myself. What I found out was that I am good enough, I am enough, I am Beautiful, and I am spiritual. Now in my late 40's I embrace every inch of me because I am every inch a Queen."

What does our curvy situation have to say to other curvy women who may feel they are not beautiful themselves? "I would say you have to love yourself first. People can pick up on those self-sabotaging vibes. My motto is: Know Thyself, Love Thyself, Heal Thyself. Love the way you are and work on any and all improvements for yourself. You are more than enough!
