Curves Royale is a Belize owned Shapewear and Fitness brand that is designed to enhance and encourage women to embrace their beauty through their natural curves. It’s not a lie when I say that we come in many different forms, weight and sizes. Yes, there are some of our ladies that are blessed with a seemingly effortless beautiful body, while some of us are blessed with a challenging one to deal w
ith. At least not entirely effortless. There’s always a level of self-care for ladies with well put together bodies. Our eating habits play a huge role in that for sure, and so does exercising. The truth is that honing the best body we can possibly have requires a complete 180 from what we’re used to doing. Most of all, it requires dedication and commitment. Without those two things, you’ll find yourself exactly where I was for a really long time, which was stagnant in my highest personal weight and struggling to get back the body I once had. The good news is that there are ways to help enhance the beautiful curves we each own already. I learned this only after completely crossing the bridge into fully committing to a change in lifestyle, a much more healthier one involving clean eating and exercising. However, my weight loss surfaced a new challenge, and before we get into that, I’d like to explain why exactly I say that. As we already know, there’s many different body shapes. My body shape is one that struggles to show pronounced curves, I have visibly wider shoulders than the stereotypical female one, or at least I feel so. And because of this, I’ve always felt I fall in the category of rectangular body shape, meaning my waist measurements are about the same as my hips and busts, and my shoulders and hips are about the same width. So you see, the challenge I spoke about has to do with my body struggling to show pronounced curves. But don’t get it confused! I was losing weight quite noticeably, it’s just that my midsection or ‘waist’ simply refused to go in and make my curves pop as I’d expected it to. I tried adjusting my diet, increasing my core workouts, but it seemed that the effort was simply not enough to show more prominent differences in my waist. This led me to research on how to improve my midsection and that’s when I learned about waist trainers and how they’re designed to help you with defining your waist and more! Soon enough I found myself trying a few different designs, and eventually I started combining a few qualities into one product that works perfectly. And I must confess, it was not easy the first few days, I even considered halting its use. As I read more about it though, I realized that this is a common feeling for many ladies. So when I looked at it closely, it clicked! This sensation is part of a bigger picture. Why is it you might ask? Well, like many, I’m someone that subconsciously slouches, in other words I have a ‘lazy posture.’ That is precisely when the light bulb in my mind lit the brightest, and perhaps you must excuse my dullness on the matter, but my waist trainer was doing exactly what it says! It was ‘training my waist’, and part of having to do this is fixing my posture. With that in mind, I started appreciating my product more and more. Only after looking at it from the angle of its purpose, I could truly see that my waist trainer did not only make me feel great appearance-wise, but it provided great support to my back all day long at work. And coming from a healthcare worker, when I say “long hours” I mean it! My waist trainer served as a constant reminder to keep a perfect posture throughout the day and even during my workouts. It also provided just enough compression in my midsection to help me control my eating, and come on! We all know that if we’re serious about losing weight we must commit to a calorie deficit eating pattern. This is not always the easiest thing to do, but my waist trainer made getting used to my new eating habits even easier as I felt full faster, which meant I ate less but just enough to get me through my next meal. So it definitely proved to be exceptionally handy in that aspect. It was not long after that I got completely used to having my waist trainer on to the point I became unaware and absolutely comfortable in it. Nevertheless, I cannot avoid saying that I did not get there overnight. It took me a few days before I could wear the product for eight hours straight, for example. Part of waist training involves ‘breaking into your waist trainer.’ For me personally, I started wearing them for one hour, then soon after for three hours, and gradually started increasing the hours up to my personal longest time which is ten hours. In the midst of all this, I realized that some friends were going through similar waist related struggles. I suggested my product to them, they actually tried it and they too were impressed by it. This encounter had me thinking, are there more women out there who are going through the same struggles? I mean, I already had a handful of ladies who related to my situation and felt the same way towards the product after using it. I asked around and it seemed to me that I was never really the only one going through these waist related challenges. With this information now in mind, I decided to launch this product as part of my brand. A brand that has readily accessible products like these to many Belizean ladies going through this subliminal and undeclared sentiments. That way we can all reach our goals easier, healthier, and most importantly together! We may come in different forms, weight and sizes, but we are all interested in the same thing, and that is to look great and feel great. So, if that’s what you’re interested in as part of your weight loss journey, the waist trainer by Curves Royale is the perfect start! When you do get your own I hope your experience is just as great as mine and that you enjoy the product as much as I do now. I am currently working on better and more diversified designs to cater for a wider spectrum of ladies out there. So if you feel we don’t have what you’re looking for exactly right now, be on the lookout for the designs coming out in the near future. The Curves Royale family would love to hear your personal experience and see your progress with a before and after photo, we cannot wait to hear your story!
