Kelli Herbert - continued
Kelli - Honestly, for the longest time this issue never crossed my mind. The men I dated loved me for who I was and vice versa. They didn't care if I was a size eight or an 18. However, the difference struck me when an extremely attractive businessman with an athletic build approached me in the elevator at work. He was in love with my shape and swept me off my feet in no time flat. The chemistry between us was intense to say the least. There is no question that he impacted my life like no other man ever had before.
I think more than anything that you have to learn to love and accept your body. If you don't then who will right? Confidence it's contagious. If you are secure about who you are then others will gravitate toward you. Celebrate your shape! After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
M2H - There are those in society who have negative attitudes towards people of size. How have such preconceptions affected your life?
Kelli - There are always going to be people that judge and discriminate against people that are overweight. That's why it's so important to love and accept yourself for who you are. We may not be able to control what others think or say but we can certainly control ourselves.
I have always been a pretty energetic, outgoing and athletic person. My friends are amazed at the amount of activities I am able to pack into one day. I think part of that comes from working out regularly and eating right to stay healthy. I have found out that exercise and diet have played a big part in improving my mood and energy level. Everyone is different, you have to find out what works for you and go from there.
M2H - Love and romance experiences... would you like to share?
Kelli -
I have had a few long-term relationships in my lifetime and dated a man in the past year that I thought for sure would be the one. However that didn't quite work out the way I hoped it would. Considering the goals and objectives that I have set for myself this year, it's probably best that I am single right now. As they say, if it's meant to be it will be and I'm confident that Mr. Right is out there somewhere.

M2H - Some plus size people avoid intimacy because of self-consciousness. How have you dealt with this issue?
