I
n my mind I feel that I need to. I see myself and some days I think "oh hey sexy!", but other days it's...harder to stand.
I get told almost every day that I'm not fat. I don't have a eating disorder or anything like that, but after the comments made by my boyfriends father...and friends from highschool...it's hard to convince myself sometimes that I'm not.
Back in highschool a girl came up to me during art class and asked if I was pregnant. I pratically screamed at her that I wasn't and then she told me that she heard it from this girl. I never did find out who it was that said it, but I know the rumor was running around the school. This followed me of course. after highschool...was in the mall, a coffee shop, and the girl asked if i was pregnant. It was further rubbed in when i said no and she then proceeded to say "are you sure?"
my current boyfriend...told me about something that his fathre said. his father apparently believed that i was pregnant and almost jumped down his throat before he told him that it was just a pudge. it's where all the fat on my body, most of it, is. on my stomach.
So yep. I have a very strong need to lose weight.

  | Posted Sep 17th, 2007 at 12:43PM Girls are jealous of your beauty and need to bring you down, and so will insinuate what they will to make you feel like ****. DONT LET THEM WIN. Your boyfriend doesn't sound like that nice of a guy. Even IF his father said that (you have no idea if he did) any reasonable guy with a hint of brains would know not to say that to his gf unless he felt like hurting you for reasons of his own. NONE of this is about YOU. Stay strong and know your own beauty and think about dumping the b/f if he continues to treat you with such callousness and tell off the ***** who asked if you were pregnant asap. She sounds like she needs a nice slap. I'll be happy to oblige if you don't want to get your hands dirty. :)   |
 | Posted Sep 17th, 2007 at 12:53PM #1 Even if you were pregnant, who's business is it anyway?!?!? #2 Those who claim to care about you, those who know of your past with this (pregnant vs.pudge and the hurt feelings) should also be very careful to protect you from such things. Your boyfriend disregarded this and it makes me question his true feelings for you, much like Cel said. #3 Everyone has a genetic predisposition for a certain body type. Yours is what it is. Mine is what it is. This does not mean we cannot improve it to a degree but there comes a point wherein we will simply have to accept it and learn to love what we have been given because it could be a heckuva lot worse. And I'm with Cel ... *takes number* I'd like to get in line to slap the heifer that second guessed your answer. UGH! |
 | Posted Mar 23rd, 2009 at 7:46AM I know how you feel. But if you feel discontent with your body, you should do something about it. I felt disgusted when I looked at myself in the mirror, so I finally decided to go to the gym. Its been a month that I've been going and i 've lost 10 pounds. I think that's the best thing you can do... :) +2 nods |

 | Posted Apr 8th, 2009 at 3:29PM, last updated Apr 8th, 2009 at 3:32PM I'm thin all around but my hips stick out pretty bad. People are always trying to 'push them back in'. I'm insulted for a moment then I remember people are idiots. I workout almost everyday but the hips are a part of me, I guess. My boyfriend tried to 'push them in' the other day. I screamed at him then burnt his dinner. We must be from the same town because you deal with the same idiots. +2 nods |
 | Posted May 30th, 2009 at 3:07PM lmao bonita princess! burn that dinner!! heh heh he should know better than to be so mean & dumb! y'know, i see the whole weight thing like this -- and i custom design for women of all body types and they always see themselves a s flawed. silly silly women , when will we stop chiming in at ourselves?? anyway i figure there is NEVER a "need" to lose weight unless for health. so the only thing left to do is to ask myself, 'do i WANT to change my body?'. if the answer is no, then all there is to do is build up myslef against all the dummy dumb-heads of the world. If the answer is yes, then all there is to do is learning what kind of workouts give me the best results. i think the real title of this story is maybe, 'people are making me feel like crap' *hugs* |
 | Posted Aug 7th, 2009 at 10:11AM Oh honey embrace your thickness!! Its beautiful and its what ur bf likes and wants and most importantly what u want! There's always gonna b haters around whether ur fat OR skinny. Trust me when I say this HATERS DON'T DISCRIMINATE. So no matter what size u r there r always gonna b someone who is talking... Its all about what you want babygirl if u wanna lose weight, do it because you want to. Not because of what some else says and if u wanna stay where ur at then so be it! To hell with al the haters! But u gotta luv them tho. I see losing weight as a major priority if health problems r arising. But like I said, other than tht its all bout u and what u want. |
 | Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 5:04PM Well, all I can say is.. people love to gossip, people are ignorant, stupid, a bunch of us apparently feel the need to hurt others' feelings to feel better about themselves.. so my advice would be (and I bet you've heard it many times before): Just don't let it get to you, I mean what do they know? They're just being ignorant and childish, we all have our round shapes, not everyone has to look like a model, we are all beautiful in our own ways, you shouldn't let their rambling get to you like that, you should know better than them! I can't judge whether you're fat or not, but even so, it shouldn't matter if someone's fat or skinny, or just a little chubby, we are who we are and certain people just gotta grow up, and get it through their thick skulls that perfection is overrated, noone is perfect. So well I hope my advice was of any help, if not then I'm sorry ;x |
