Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Ok, let me get this straight, you are 6'3 " and weigh 164 pounds? And you used to weigh 125? In my opinion, 164 pounds at 6'3 " would be right in the ideal weight range! Heck, I am 8 inches shorter than you, and think I looked great at 160! Not to make light of your personal body-acceptance issues, but is it possible the 6'3 " was a typo? ~Jette~ in NC Start Date 4/7/2003 SW-285/CW-252/MG-250/FG-160 " When the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain to change... it is time to change " Husbands... > My husband likes women with a little " meat on the bones " and at > 6'3 " and 164 I certainly fit that description.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 :::Phew!::: I was a little worried there for a minute! (Not to mention intimidated by your amazonian dimensions, LOL) As for your theory that it is harder for you to accept your weight because you used to be thin, I would say that can definitely be a factor. I know I am always kicking myself for letting my weight get as far as it has. I was never what you would call skinny... a voluptuous size 7 at my very best, and most often a 9/11, but I considered myself to be attractive and sexy, and I think self-perception is the key (you can see a very scary, late 80's, heavy metal, mini-skirt picture of me in the Photo section, LOL). I have a husband who met me when I was a size 9, and he still loves me and finds me attractive now, but I can't help but belittle myself for being so fat, no matter how much he says he loves me for who I am. I want so much to be " the way I used to be " ... I felt confident and sexy, and often wonder if I will ever feel that way again. ~Jette~ in NC Start Date 4/7/2003 SW-285/CW-252/MG-250/FG-160 " When the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain to change... it is time to change " Re: Husbands... > > is it possible the 6'3 " was a typo? > > LOL!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 >>>Hey, maybe I'm doing this all wrong...instead of trying to lose weight, I should attempt to stretch myself and get try to get taller!! I'm sure even THAT would be easier than losing weight! LOL -- Loring wouldn't that be cool? I'm 5'9 " now, so I'd really be getting up there height wise, hahaha.
