Awww bless ya soul @ darkeyes.

Yes people are getting bigger- and some are getting thinner...

Dark you are a good weight for your height- barrrrr shhh dont listen to any innner demons that say otherwise.


For someone that tall, she's underweight surely?

But meh what do i know about BMI lol.

[rissababynta]

ACK! You skinny bitches are ruining my life! LOL.

What a world I live in...I'm way to fat to be even a plus size model, but I'm not fat enough to get the leading role in Hairspray! GRRRR...can't win...

Ok, maybe I'm going overboard here but, still, you meatless people are driving me nuts!! :bigrin:

Rissa, don't worry, there's plenty of us out here who appreciate voluptuous people. My GF and I both are much more (superficially, at first glance) attracted to full-figured, curvy women and softer "swimmer's build" guys. We'll take soft and cuddly over a skinny person any day. We both have loved thinner folks, but their personality and compatibility won out, over initial impressions. It's a good thing that there is a size and shape for everyone and choices are not disrespected by us.

My sister, who could have easily been a model, and probably has weighed the same thing since she was 17, constantly worries and frets about her weight. Everyone who knows her thinks she is a beautiful and slim, but her one irritating quality is her comments and worries about "Getting fat"! Why do these people constantly obsess about their weight, when there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about?

On the other hand, my GF is chubby, vivacious and very pretty. She has great breasts and an ass to match 'em. To watch her walk is like seeing poetry in motion...God, she jiggles! She is not concerned about her weight and I think she carries it well. I wouldn't swap her for a ship-load of the current crop of models, or anyone with bones showing anywhere on their body! Hey, that's just me and my input on the subject.

Bear in mind that the weights of models and other celebrities are self-reported and are not independently verified.

Rissa-honey, I have been big most of my life. I am too big for what society deems prople and normal, yet I was in a BBW calendar a few years ago. Some people love us big, soft, warm, sensua,l BBW's while others drool over someone who wouldnt make a decent soup bone...It just depends on what a persons tastes are.
I know Frannie is cute and small(as are both of my girls) and that they are fine, just as they are. I also know that these models starve themselves to work in their venue where everyone must look a certain way to please the fashion snobs in the world, and that's too bad. Too bad they can just be as nature meant them to be.

Some people are Meant to be small and slender, others of us are meant bigger people, but never the less we are all Who we are meant to be. :}
So Sweet Rissa, my obese( I fukn Hate that word) Sistah, dont worry bout the small stuff and just revel in who you are. You are as fine as warm silk, and dont you forget it!
And Frannie, you are beautiful just like you are, you cute lil tart you...lol
Cat. ;)

hi dark eyes
being 5ft 1 as well 7stone 6lb is the minimum weight you should be, Ive always stuggled with healthy perception of weight
i think that articles can grossly mislead people to think they are unhealthy
everyone body mass index is different
and how can you know it wasnt a misprint?
often I see Naomi Campbell - a model weight stated as 7 stone something.. and she is 6ft which just doesnt happen

Im on the first diet of my life after getting a chronic illness and putting on over a stone, but even at 8stone 8llb I am within a health BMI even if I do have a wobbly middle that real!

if you feel untoned, you dont need to lose weight you need to exercise in a way that will build your muscle tone
hope that doesnt sound like im preaching but ive been in your shoes at your weight with distorted ideas about whats good and bad

being comfortable in your skin is whats important

Darlins.....

I have never been one to really worry about my size any more really. I often make fun of the fact that I am a six foot tall blonde chubby chick from Boston is full of life, full of love and has much to share with the world. I guess since being on this site and I have met so many wonderful people, mostly men as that is what we are seeking, who really do not care about my curves and softness. I have had a lover who is five feet four and one who is six six and all in between. They have proven time and time again it is what is with the body that counts.

Belle

Those who like us blonde bodacious babes know what I mean....but do not ignore the pixy petites also. ENJOY us ALL

Before I had my babies at age 23 I was 126 lbs at 5'7", that's 9 stone for all you Europeans and never dieted a day in my life. I was a roly poly kid though and lost all that 'baby fat' when I hit puberty and grew 6 inches. I never thought as myself as skinny, never complained but always pinched the skin around my waist thinking I could lose just a few more. Then it was my own doctor who told me I was on the verge of underweight.

Then I had my boys nearly back to back (they are 14 months apart) and ballooned to 195 lbs. I was hopelessly lost, having never dieted and didn't know what to do about it. I was also clinically depressed due to the place I found myself in during my marriage.

About the time I asked for a divorce 6 years later, I did something drastic. I decided I needed 'clarity' and didn't eat or drink for a week. Well, I nearly passed out, went to the doctor the next day where they tried to draw blood, but couldn't as I was so dehydrated, so they pumped me with 2 bags of IV solution. The next time I went to the same doctor (who was 5'10" and thin as a rail, she brought out the BMI chart and told me where I really should be. Subsequently the stress in my life led me to lose 30 lbs that same month, and another 20 within a few more months. I found it funny that the man I asked for a divorce told me to stop seeing her as she was going to make me anorexic.

Now 3 years later, I'm a healthy 140 lbs (10 stone), and yes, would still love to get to my prebaby weight but not stressing about it anymore. I would never want to be one of those genetically engineered women who win pageants and have their ribs and every other bone in their body sticking out. Who knows how close they are to passing out right on that very stage.

I say be proud of who you are, whatever size, height or shape you are, and if you don't like it, then get off your ass and do something about it!!!

Love to you all,
hugs and kisses,

P.S. and yes, I hope my story will inspire some of you to realize that your weight, thin or rubenesque, should never be your main source of happiness.
