Job: Stylist at Krave.
Weight and height: 200lbs/5ft 2.
Society's attitude to big women: I have just become a plus size so I see the difference. I see that I was liked for my body image before and now the same type of men who were attracted to me aren't anymore.
My attitude to being big: I have finally come to terms with my size and I enjoy it. I still feel sexy.
Is it a struggle?: If you are not happy with yourself it can be a struggle, but if you are happy with yourself within, it doesn't matter what size you are.
Best thing about being big: My breasts.
Guilty pleasures: Chocolate, especially Ferrero Roche and Turtles.
Why I entered the pageant: I want my children to see that it doesn't matter if you are small or big, it's all about what's inside. For me it's not about winning, it's about participation.
