Dear LoVe Bug, Please do not feel ofended by these things . There just threads on a slow chat line . This theme is mild compared to some of them . I don't take them as informative or offensive just something to spend free time on . I also will tell you what I have told others here in private conversations .

I do get just a wee bit defensive not just because of my personal experience but because I work in the mental health field & have worked with several women with anorexia & bulimia. In most of the cases I've worked with, it was a simple, ignorant comment by a loved one that was the trigger. People do not realize the impact of their words.

I have come a long way over the past several years & am now at the point where I love & accept who I am... weight & all. That is not to say that I still do not strive to be better especially since I have 2 kids that I'd like to see married & enjoy my future grandchildren but ultimately, I am who I am... & if someone doesn't like me, that is their problem, not mine.

The people that make these irresponsible, ignorant comments also have issues that they are insecure about otherwise they would not feel the need to belittle anyone else.

I thank you for your comment. Please realize that I was having an off night last night & do not normally get so pissed at these unfortunate individuals :)

Each of us here is responsible for their own frustration, snide remarks or outbursts. A little levity and good spirits more than compensate for any imperfections of the body. JMO cheers

I'm 5ft 11 and weigh 12st (168 lbs for you americans laugh )

I think in the Uk I'd be described as slim/average, but in the USA I'd be considered extremely skinny , as most men who are around 5ft 11 weigh about 220 llbs as far as I can tell !rolling on the floor laughing

I agree with you completely that a lot of people don't consider the consequences of their actions (or words). It took me years to get to that point myself & have been guilty in my past of hurting others with my words. I was very unhappy with who I was that the only way to boost myself was to belittle others. I was not a very nice person. Now, however, I look at people & wonder to myself what has happened in a person's life to bring them to where they are now.
I'm very happy with who I am now & where I'm at. I am generally a very upbeat, positive person who tries to see the good in all people.

P.S.... Friends are always welcome cheers

forestshaks: I got a new definition of weights after attending the valentine party in Drogheda. These are my observations. Pls don't be offended. Trust me it's true.

Slim & Thin - u might as well go to the graveyard and pickup the bones.

Average - It actually means "Avearge with 2 bellies
hanging out".

Curvy - I like curvy but another mis-interpreted definition
"Curvy with 3 bellies, double chin included".

Very Cuddly & A bit overweight - Actually means they need to go to
"The Biggest Loser".

Very, very big and fat - Sorry i can't give any definition on
this cos what u see is what u get.
If u want to go ahead and commit suicide be my guest.
It does exactly what it says.

Only 3% fitted the right description as on their profiles..
I usually find that people that are this judgmental are way off the mark and their idea of fat is say like someone who is a size 10 all of sudden in their eyes has three chins and 3 bellies and really the issue is their own insecurities in themselves and should look in the mirror and quit taking their own issue with themselves out on undeserving people.cheers

_LoVe_BuG_: No persecution complex at all.. I have no issue with people having opinions & expressing them.. it is how they choose to express them. Words DO hurt people. I guess it comes down to being mature enough to care how others will be affected by your words.. Even your post.. did you really need to use the word "waddle"... ? How derogatory is that?

Our society has placed so much emphasis on being thin which from a health perspective is great but it has also caused an epedemic of eating disorders as women (& men now on the increase) attempt to fit into the mold that the media has created. There is so much pressure to be thin that people starve themselves or continuously diet which, in a lot of cases & mine included, wind up in a yo yo effect & ultimately end up gaining more weight than they started off with.

Instead of using words to be mean & hurtful, why not think of how your words might affect someone & word it in a nicer way?
There were men that simply posted on here saying "I prefer slim".. Bravo! An opinion without hurtful words included.. plain & simple!

Those that feel they need to critisize anyone else obviously needs to address issues of their own.. & yes, that would include myself since I attacked the first guy & his insensitive response but at least I recognize that.. I'm sure many of you don't.

Well think certain nations like different things in a woman, some like the "Barbie Doll" image, all glamour and latest fashion...(Skinny), others like "Volumptuous". Then there are those who like very plain women. all depends on the guy I guess!!. If I were a guy I would discard the outside packaging and look straight into the heart of a gal,..thats what matters most. JMO...wave teddybear

I have lost count of how many mens profiles say they prefer skinny, slim or slender..Also lots of those same men say they are average weight, but are far from it with pot bellies, thick face and other areas..
The internet has opened a can of worms with many people expecting to meet a "perfect" person like ordering a luxury car online..lol
I dont expect perfection, and most of what I judge on first is am I feeling any attraction to the person physically and are they a good man who can take care of himself, but is not so independant they are unable to love one woman?
It is sad to see how many females become anorexic and bulemic simply because the pressure is upon us to be this perfect image.
Men in my opinion have it much easier than we do.

I say average, and even a Few xtra lbs, But what I learned in School is that a few can be counted on Both Hands, 10 Lbs,
The ones who say few X-tra lbs, is it within 10 lbs???????doh

I see many 200 lbs + saying few Xtra Lbs,THAT is a RED Lie,
so I say under165lbs, and declining, Not adding to the factor...
Some meat is Fine, But 165, or under for me, Its My Preference, and My Right....dunno innocent pointing cowboy
