Body Size & Shape

[orchidsoul]

I'm a little baffled by the folks bashing the thin people... and this is coming from someone who envies their metabolisms, but also understands it's usually harder for thin people to gain weight than it is for overweight people to lose weight (excluding any medical conditions)

I'm not skinny, will never be, and have to work really hard to be a size 6 or 8 (which I'm working on again! haha) on a 5' tall frame. But I love my body when it's in shape. The key being in shape and healthy. I'll never weigh 110 lbs- in fact, I would look unhealthy and very underweight since my frame is petite, yet quite curvy and hourglass-like. (SyvieA- I know what you mean. A simple dress on a less curvy female looks downright slutty on me!)

Someone said earlier (Tessa maybe?) about being healthy. I concur. For some folks overweight, they are on medicine that no matter how healthy they are, they'll still be overweight... But yeah, if you're eating 4 plates at the all-you-can-eat buffet... you're not being healthy. And I wouldn't be attracted to a man that did that. We owe it to our bodies and psyches to treat them properly, which doesn't necessarily mean one has to be perfectly in shape and ripped. Personally I prefer a little meat on the bones.

What I'm attracted to: personality first, but physical appearance is important... though that comes in many forms. Often personality makes an "average" looking person super hot in my mind. Body-wise, I like a man that looks like he could throw me up against the wall... and hold me there whilst he defiles me

If you don't want to be bashed for being pudgy/chubby/overweight/obese, don't bash someone for being thin/skinny/svelte. I'm feeling bad for the thinner crowd. Such stereotypes and presumptions are being made of their personalities and values which seems really unfair.

Most importantly, you do need to be happy with yourself. If you're not happy with your weight, do something about it. If you're happy, rock on.
