  1. Yeah. I can't really blame the guy. I'm super tiny now it's hard to imagine. I wouldn't have a problem with it myself. But of course I get it! Anyway I'm rather attracted to overweight men.
  2. I went out on a date tonight and told the guy I used to be overweight and he's like- haha very funny. Yeah I'm sure you were like a cute 150 chubby pounds. Not like you were, 200 pounds or something crazy obese like that!! Ha ha hargh hargh. Ha ha ha. Dumb ass. Try 250. Har har. God!! Jeeeeeeeze.
  3. I just have to say again( and I'm not bragging, just trying to give people hope) how much I love love love my little tiny boobs. Yes they aren't as firm as they could be, but they used to point down and since I lost weight they have turned up a lot more and I actually, for once in my life, love them!! I always hated my boobs, even before I gained weight. I didnt like their shape and thought they were saggy. It's so weird because the way I lost weight this time made them better!! I still take off my bra and go wow I love those little boobies!! I'm a b cup and it's the perfect size. I wouldn't even mind if they were a little smaller. I thought for sure I would need a breast lift after surgery, thank goodness I don't! I'm so happy. Another weird thing is I always had really thick legs, even when I was 150 pounds, before I gained weight. My legs now are super skinny, like chicken legs. It's so weird I never expected to look like this. I think it may have something to do with the low carb diet. Ones body takes fat differently when you diet low carb. It's amazing how happy I am with how I look. The only thing I don't like is my tummy area where I have loose skin. Need a tummy tuck for that big time!!! So have hope ladies- your boobs may survive this!!
  4. I'm the odd ball. I generally eat whatever I want, just less. I have a weight range that I stick to and unless I bounce up too high, I don't restrict myself. If I go over my upper end, then I cut out the junk. So wish I could be like this!! But I'm too scared to give myself the freedom.
  5. Funniest post ever! Poor thing
  6. I love it! Can I be a badly drawn dolphin??? So funny. I had to send this to my mom ))
  7. @"cowgirljane" what a sucky sucky week! Sometimes it seems like Murphy's law hits and nothing can go right!!! I suggest taking a day and pampering yourself. A spa day, a nice new haircut, ect. Something YOU find very relaxing to reset your week. That's what I do when I feel my energy going to the negative. I hope things get better. So sad about your horse (((
  8. Today my therapist told me I have the body of a 14 year old boy. Wasn't very nice of her.
  9. Crazy! I wouldn't have seen that!! Cool!! Guess I do have nice broad shoulders.
  10. For sure you are an hourglass!!!! Lucky!!
  11. Today I tried to do better. I feel so full and the day is not even over! Wow I'm not used to eating like this. My NUT told me today that she saw me at the gym last week and was shocked that I have the body of a 14 year old boy. She feels I've gotten too thin to say the least. I don't agree but I know I'm close. She wants me to have a carb at every meal. So I tried this: 1. Breakfast Half a bagel (going to switch to whole grain tomorrow) Light cream cheese 2 slices turkey Tomatoes 2. lunch Lettuce Parmesan cheese 1/3 can of tuna 3. Snacks banana Beef jerky Yogurt 4. dinner 2 Meatballs salad (lettuce, kale, carrots) Dressing Avocado 1/4 cup wheat Pasta Feel like I'm going to explode!! It's a process. Going to take some getting used to!!
  12. Loving this post. Keep it coming!!! I can see where I need to improve already!!
  13. I've been in weekly therapy for over a year. . Maybe time for a new therapist? Or put more work in...
  14. What type of body do I have?? You tell me! Before wls I looks like I was nine months pregnant with a very thick legs still somewhat narrow hips but a huge huge overhanging belly. Like a pregnant apple. Now what shape am I?
  15. I feel bad for that girl that guy sounds like a total machismo controlling asshole
  16. I have a real issue with this. I'm 5'6 and 122 pounds. I still feel food on,y when I lose and want to lose another 7 pounds to be at 115 even though everyone says stop. It's a mental battle from years if wanting to lose and not being able to. When will it be enough?? I don't know. I'm fixated on numbers and fear of gaining. Maybe at 115 I'll finally feel done.
  17. Hey guys. So glad I found this forum. I'm entering goal weight and I'm afraid of slipping back into old eating patterns. I'm at a loss of how to eat now. For the last 6 months I've had a severe stricture which made my food choices very limited. It's opening up now and I've been able to eat more, and I need to make sure I set good habits. 1. Breakfast. I really struggle with this one. Can you give me some low carb, low fat ideas for breakfast? I've been eating bagels and Cereal which I feel is too high carb. 2. lunch. I hate smoothies- and I eat out a ton because of my job. Anyone have any great lunch ideas that will keep me satisfied until at least the afternoon? 3. Snack I don't really like snacking but I do get hungry in the afternoon. I've been eating beef Jerky. Any other ideas as to what will keep in my car? 4. dinner. I'm always at a loss for dinner. What do you eat? 5. Late night snack. I like to eat before bed although I know I shouldn't. Hopefully I can get some options here besides cereal which is my go to. Thanks guys!!!!
  18. I'm not sure. I think I'm a rectangle? Maybe an hourglass? I don't think my waist is that curvy but maybe that's because I have narrow hips. I have a little girls body now.
  19. I've gotten online dumped by three guys this week for not being Christian. Sigh.
  20. I'm really not sure what I want right now. I want to focus on my life, job and kids. I want my free time full of fun and adventure, attention from men and people who make my life more interesting in a good way. I don't know that I want mr forever right now. I want to be free for awhile
  21. Oh I can give some tips!! Don't just email "hi" or "how are you?" Say something specific about their profile or offer a compliment. Ask a question so it's easy for them to email back an answer. Have plenty of good photos of you! Not your toys. You in at least 5-6 photos, full body and headshot. Smiling! Not making angry faces. No shirtless selfies please. Fill out all the info on your profile you can!!! I won't email someone back if they haven't filled it out. Always answer a question and ask another to keep the conversation going. First date: Do not talk about exes, weight, diet, illness, or any baby mama drama. Pay. Pick a nice restaurant that a woman would like not a seedy bar or sports club. Dress up. Open the door for her and pull out her chair. Compliment how she looks. Relax. Ask questions about her and her family etc. Try to make her laugh if you can.
