Original Post by restless_girl: Very true, and it certainly doesn't help that my mother is an itsy bitsy toothpick, she's never had to try, not a bit. The first time she ever said that to me..I could only stare at her in complete awe, I just .. didn't get it. |

This question intrigued me. A lot. Why do I want to be skinny? I decided to think about it. Really think. I would love to say, it's for me, it's so I can be healthier, and feel wonderful. No. Truth be told, I just want to be more comfortable, I want to be able to sit Indian style for more than ten minutes and not have my feet go numb because my legs are so .. fat. I want to stop crying when I shop for jeans. I want to stop having to suck it in and wear loose shirts just so I don't feel like a fatty letting her gut hang out. I want my mom to stop saying "If you'd just lose a little weight, you would be such a pretty girl." I want to stop telling myself that I'm fat. I want to look in the mirror and be like .. you look cute today. Nice. I want the man I love, whom I have not seen seven months, to not move on to smaller and better things. The kind of guy he is, the kind of girls he's used to.. This right here is the top for me. I feel so lucky he even gives me the time of day..I just want it to last. I know.. we should love you for you, but seriously people..it's the 21st century, my own parents don't even love me for me. So. There you have it. I want to be skinny to fit it, to shop well, and to keep my guy happy. I don't want to be the envy of every girl, I don't want to go into modeling, I don't want to have the BEST bill of health in the country. I want this for purely selfish reasons, at least..that's what it feels like. I just can't look like this forever. I can't be jealous of every girl I see. I can't deal with honestly believing that people think I'm fat, and that's all they think, that they can't see past it. Anyways..that's my take. |

Ooh, buddy time. I'm Adrienne. (Ay-dree-en) I'm 19 years old, and I weigh 189lbs. I'm 5'6.5" I'm an eater. I love food. I have an oral fixation, so I sometimes think I eat just for the texture and sounds in my mouth, as they keep me happy. I will be the first to admit that I need to be more active, I need to have more ambition. Hating yourself and the way you look and not doing anything about it obviously does nothing to help you, body or mind. I need a buddy. I can't do this alone.

Wow. Some of these are just really wonderful!
Honestly, I'm thinking of finding a happier saying. Mine is just something along the lines of "You're flabby, you fail." I guess it's true when they say you're your own worst critic, eh? |
