Hourglass before and after.

I was a very bottom heavy pear or triangle before weight loss. Now after losing 145 pounds and plastics, I like to think I'm an hour glass. I still have thick thighs/calves, though. I guess I don't care what I call it, it's way better than it was!

I think women's shapes are more varied and nuanced than the half dozen or so "shapes" shown in the OP.

The silhouettes we present are altered by attributes like the lengths and widths of our arms, legs, necks, hands and feet and by our postures and how broadly (or narrowly) we position and present our bodies.

Some people are thicker side-to-side, some are thicker front-to-back, and others are neither.

And, of course, our hair styles affect our silhouettes.

As do the fits and styles of the clothing and shoes we choose to wear.

And then there are the changes we all undergo as we age. Our shapes when young aren't the same as our shapes in middle age or when we're of "senior" age.

There are so many variations in our bodies and ways we can alter those without losing an ounce. Why should we imagine we fit into only six "shapes"?

I'll spare you all my rant on "Red Carpet" expectations of women in the current selfie culture. ;)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
