Living Through Thin Eyes
By: Tracy Lightner
If you wear a size thirteen or greater, you are considered to be "Plus Size." I am tired of the fact that unless I wore a size twelve or less, there is almost no one who represented me as a "THICK Sistah." Many of you can relate to knowing how wonderful shopping for clothes were during pre-child bearing years. Even if you can't, there's a point in your life where you were perhaps smaller in size. So we are here now, lets make the most of it!
Fortunately I come from good stock but finding clothes that were to my liking grew to be taxing on my patience. Many women share the struggle of finding an outfit that works for them. I say, unless you do something about how plus size women are represented in media, relationship and even amongst ourselves; nothing will change! I challenge all women of size to join me in a THICK revolution! No more negative insults, no more dying to be thin! You are who you are and its time that the world accepts us as well.
Being thick doesn't mean that you have to settle for less. I encourage all "THICK Sistahs" to exercise and eat right. With all of her money, even Oprah understood that there are no quick ways to thin. Having extra pounds means that we must take even better care of ourselves. But it doesn't mean you have to hide that glowing inner beauty that's just dying to come out! We can come together and change the way society views us.
In the 1930s, having a robust physique was attractive. Remember Betty Boop? She had that undeniable self-confidence about herself. And not only did it help elevate the view of others but Betty's image showed America that THICK women are beautiful, desired and successful!

Why Travel During Economical Dismal Times?
By: Ms. Royal Davis
Why Travel?
To be exposed to new viewpoints and cultures. And most of all to ENJOY life!
In these tough economical times many people have sacrificed “pleasures/luxuries” for basic need items. This I truly understand for I have had to look at my own spending to see what is a must or a need. But keep in mind that although many would say that travel is a want or a luxury expense; it really should be thought of more as a recommendation from doctors as a wellness preventative. I am not saying that travel will cure all, I am just stating that if you are going through illness, downsizing, divorce, depression or any other life issues - a change of scenery can often do the body and mind good. I find just visiting family in another city or state rejuvenates my energy and thoughts.
Travel is a great escape and can often bring closeness back to a family. Your trip does not have to cost you a year’s salary to be helpful or enjoyable. There are many types of mini trips you can take close to home or if you want to venture further there are often payment plans that can be used to prevent you from going into credit debt more!
Instead of not thinking about travel in 2009 add it to your wish list and contact us for some travel ideas, we are here to help people of ANY budget enjoy travel!
We at Royality Designs Travel wish all of ThichSistahs.com readers a VERY happy and prosperous New Year! All things are possible -if YOU believe. Keep your eyes open for ThickSistahs trips in 2009.
Be blessed!
