For overweight black women--how do you stay so confident and sexy?

I see overweight black women on TV and in real life who are just gorgeous, and they weigh a lot more than me. They wear clothes I wouldn't dare put on and they look beautiful. They are sexy and they know they're sexy. I'm jealous.

I want to know where you get that confidence? Have you just not been beaten down by the media into thinking fat=ugly? I want to learn how to feel that way about myself. Teach me! Give me advice!

I'm not trying to be a racist but very few white women have the quality I'm talking about so I'm directing this to where I see it happening.

Update:

I mean FAT, not just "thick". I mean 300+ lbs.

    well it depends on what ur definition of over weight is.white people are differnt then black people.white people might think that jenifer lopez is fat and black people might think that she is skinny. i think u are talking about thick people like me not fat people. i stay confident because i know im looking good.big booty big hips big breast im just curvy. to alot of white people think curvy women is nasty and fat but in the black society thats whats up.
