MIKA - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

WANT TO START • GET INVOLVED WITH A GROUP FOR
SUCCULENT PLUS SIZE GALS???

We're starting a group for BIG BEAUTIFUL Gals to get together and do things in an environment where you are SAFE to be yourself - not worry about other people judging you - not worry about keeping up with others in the group on an outing - or whatever!

It's a place to come together and CONNECT and SUPPORT each other!!

A place to FEEL GOOD about and CELEBRATE ourselves!!


(NOTE:  This is NOT a dating site so please do not use it as that [MAYBE in time if the group wants to open it or some events to guys that like large girls we'll do that - depending on the consensus!!])


I've often thought it would be cool to start a POSITIVE group of Plus Size Gals (maybe BBM•guys also depending on the consensus of the group) that meets to share issues and offer positive support/solutions, that goes out and does things together!

Maybe we'll go out
•   DANCING (and/or take Salsa classes or belly dancing classes or something fun)?!!  

•   Learn new things?!!  

•   Go out to EAT (maybe even go to a buffet somewhere and just ENJOY)?!!  

•   SHOPPING TRIPS?!! 
Maybe we can do some EXCURSIONS around Costa Rica (with an emphasis on AFFORDABLE and or FREE things!!)! 
•   Go to the BEACH or POOL and flaunt our BIG LUSCIOUS bodies!! 

•   TRAVEL TRIPS and VISA RUNS (I'll be happy to lead a group [around one of my Visa Runs] to San Juan del Sur, or Isla Ometepe, Nicaragua [with a stop-over in Rivas to a pharmacy that has the BEST prices around!!] or Bocas del Toro, Panama!!  Again - with an emphasis on AFFORDABLE and or FREE things!!).
•   VIP Movie (with nice comfy wide recliner chairs and waiters that come around and serve you)
We can go out to eat together and to hell with what anyone else thinks (and we can choose to healthy/consciously - or sometimes go get a burger - whatever WE want to do)!
•   COOKING CLASSES - Anything from Healthy to Easy or even Dessert Making!!
•   Do POTLUCKS?
•   Do MOVIE NIGHTS - with EMPOWERING Messages!!
•   CULTURAL ACTIVITIES.
•  Join a WALKING GROUP (there's one at MultiPlazas on Tues., Thurs. & Sat.)
•   Join a WATER AEROBICS class together or gym (NOT me - I don't like to "sweat!")

Or have people come to our gatherings and share with us about
•   AromaTherapy (I have the PERFECT person for that and we'd only pay for what we buy!)
•   Different forms of Self Empowerment techniques like EFT or TAT!
•   I'll give one of my AWESOME Manifestation • Vision Board talks (I can SOOO use the reminder and support on getting back into that.  Can you??)!!

What might YOU share - that you know about (you do NOT have to be an expert at it - just something you'd like to share that YOU LOVE!!)?

What have YOU always wanted to do but didn't have the courage to do it, didn't think you could do it - or didn't have anyone to do it with? 
(keeping things as affordable as we can for the group)
What's on YOUR BUCKET LIST??

We'll be a group that goes at OUR own pace - NO judgment - ONLY support doing what WE can/choose to!!


We can create a Facebook Page and/or other Forum where people can share information and Connect!

I'm NOT talking about a group focused on loosing weight as loosing weight without getting to the root source of what's REALLY "eating us up" SOOO RARELY works in the long run.  I believe FIRST WE get to work on releasing OLD tapes/messages we grew up with - hence then our Self Esteem issues (even the richest person in the world, with the best job and a happy looking family, etc. has SOME UNresolved self esteem issues).

(I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!
"How Could Anyone"
[sung by my buddy - the awesome singer of empowering songs - Fairy Elaine Silver])


I CELEBRATE my 57 YOUNG years on this planet in this 227 pounds of FULL WOMAN and I share it on my Facebook openly - along with pictures of me in high school and the beginnings of college at 97 pounds as my body is NOT who I am!!  It is NOT what defines me!!  I can't say I've ever "felt" anyone judging me for my size as I've never felt "judged" or that anyone was telling me what to do (I MUST have worked through that in a past life as even as a child, I've just seen it as they were just giving a different perspective.  It sure makes MY life MUCH calmer and that can happen to you as well - IF YOU CHOOSE!!)

The group would be just forming so we could make it whatEVER WE desire to (though I can tell you now - I will NOT be involved with a group of people that just want to stay stuck in their stuff!!  I choose to surround myself with people WORKING on their stuff - even if some days it's baby steps for ward and occasionally big steps back.  I'm also not interested in being part of a women's only group.  It's time WE ALL work through our dad issues as men are ONLY what WE think they are - hence attract)!!!!

My intention for any group I'm around is to focus on
SELF EMPOWERMENT!! 
As we ALL can manifest ANYTHING that we desire -
WHEN we TRULY DESIRE it
(withOUT those damn old tapes telling us old messages of what the past showed us).

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


HOW OFTEN WILL WE MEET?
MONTHLY+ (??)
(or more or less - depending on what Y'ALL desire)
