One of those women

from JoeUser Forums
i don't want to end up like one of those women....

one of those women who starve themselves so they can fit into a smaller size.
one of those women who all they can talk about is calories and how fat they are when they're not at all. i don't want it to run my life.

i don't want to be one of those women who put so much emphasis on physical appearance that it becomes their obsession.

their god.

one of those women who eat like birds and feel guilty about eating at all.

i don't want to be so superficial as to let physical appearance affect my life and my happiness.

i'm not fat, but i'm not thin. who, would even care if i lost 10 pounds? i think i would be the only one. i'm the only one who gets disgusted by my chubby legs. my stomach.

but WHY do i care so much?

i don't want to feel guilty about eating anything, whether healthy or not.
i don't want to starve myself,
i don't want to puke after i eat,
so what do i do?

stop being so shallow is what.

but that's easier said than done.

i want to be one of those women who's confidence carries them. one of those women who know who they are and don't care what others think. i want to be one of those women who are care free and live life to the fullest, never weighed down by insignifant things like a little meat on the bones. that's who i want to be.

I heard a radio talk show today for a few minutes...the guy said, "When I see a heavy woman, I usually think she has more issues than a woman who takes care of herself. And I am more inclined to want to date the slimmer woman, not because she's thin, but because she has less issues."

I wonder if that is how most men think, or if he was just odd.

(I will admit to putting on a few pounds when I go threw periods of the blahs. OR when something major happens and it is simmering in the back of my mind daily. OF course I have LOST weight during times like that too.....hmmm)

I don't think there is anything wrong with eating right and exercising. But once you are doing those things, I believe you have to accept your body for what it is. If you are taking care of yourself, then you shouldn't beat yourself up for not looking like...????(Whoever)

That's just my take tho. And it took awhile to get here.

Just try to be healthy not skinny. Take care of yourself for yourself. When you start exercising and eating right, you feel better. At least, I know I do. And yes I would like to be smaller than I am but it's not what my whole world is about.

yeah right. i think that must have been just him, because most guys want to date slimmer women because they look better. sex appeal means everything to alot of guys.

good goal. i realized when i was looking at pictures that no matter how skinny i get, i still would still be unhappy, because with each time i achieve a certain level, i'll want to go to the next until it becomes very unhealthy. i don't want to do that, and i myself tend to be a perfectionist sometimes, which is why i obsess over little flaws, and little things i can't do, and i'd do the same thing with this. so if i drop it before i become too involved, i'll be good.

Meh. I'm chubby now. I don't like it. I hate it, actually, because I don't look the way I want. Clothes don't fit the way I want them to.

My personal appearance is one aspect of me. It's not all I am (thankfully!), but it would be foolish to deny its importance or impact on my lifestyle and my relationships with others.

A little meat on the bones might mean for some women that they're in a size 10 instead of a 6. On other women, "a little meat" on the bones could mean that they don't have the stamina to run and play with their young children or can't squeeze their stomachs into a booth at a restaurant.

It's a delicate balance.

ndition.

Me?  That is what I look at.  And I find a lot of beautiful women (I am a sucker for beautiful women, but men do nothing for me) in all sizes.

Very good article Jlaur!

That's what it means to me. I used to wear a size 6, then I had surgery and gained some weight...now I wear a misses size 8/10 or a juniors size 11. To me, that's chubby. But you know what? I look better at this weight. I don't look gaunt like I used to. I'm still getting used to being what I consider to be heavier, but I think in the end I'll like it.
