*head slap*
so you not only used a derogatory term to refer to women who are naturally thin with small breast and hips ("stick figures"), not only told them they're unattractive and sexually undesirable, but you also compared one group of women to another in a right vs. wrong scenario in what you probably think is some kind of supportive comment.
yeah, thanks for that input. I'm sure we'll all put a lot of value in it.
that sound you just heard? that was the collective eye roll of hundreds of women.

i told my friend about that, she's a bit overweight but she has AMAZING breasts. super perky despite their volume. she tried it out, and wound up losing a couple pounds just because she wasn't so stressed out and focused on what she was eating all the time.
i say we all have at least one awesome physical feature... fuck the rest, nobody's perfect.

That said, the last time I broke up with someone, the first thought in my head was "oh, he met someone prettier/thinner than me." WTF, self? Not "oh, he met someone more successful than me" or "oh, he met someone more fun than me."
Reality did quickly set in. But something is hard-wired there that is difficult to disconnect. If we ever figure out how to do that, I know the world would change.
Fashion magazine editors, as well as the entire staff of Men's Health, will without a doubt be the first against the wall when that particular revolution comes.

...coming from a city like Vancouver, where everyone seems to be in perfectly-thin yoga shape, I feel totally at ease here with my tits, hips, and ass, and what's more, I still get checked out by the guys. I'm not saying that skinny culture doesn't exist in Latin America, but all sorts of female forms are beloved here.
I don't even know why I mentioned this, or what my point is.

This, however, is not true in places like Canada, Britain, and Japan, especially.

Pigs At [jezebel.com]
A Trough [jezebel.com]
No one said you cannot be a beautiful size 12. But, I repeat, you cannot have it both ways. You, or you who eats like a pig and weighs an extra 30 lbs. That is the choice.

And some women like myself DO eat like pigs but dont gain weight. You have no idea what you are talking about.

"yet we too often eat like pigs at a trough"
Speak for yourself, sweetie. Some of us are living proof that lowcarb, if you're American, makes you definitively counterculture.
But you don't seem to be that into individualization and critical thinking.

Sad story related to this post: The other day I was going through old clothes and came across a favorite skirt. It is a size 5. I sooooo am not.

Re the boots, I would love to be able to tuck my jeans into my boots, but that will not happen any time soon. Unless I go to the store that does boots by shoe size and calf size.

And for the boots, I speak on behalf of seemingly everyone I know who isn't me. I have chicken legs. I walk on toothpicks. I would LOVE to have calves. But when I wear boots, I feel like I'm wearing galoshes with heels. You can't win with boots.

It's a UK site, but proof that someone somewhere has taken into account those of us who do not fit in regular boots.

@AndNowForSomethingDifferent: Yes, I know of what you speak. That is my best girlfriend's boot problem to a T. I really hate how they often put in the elasticized bit up at the top that does nothing for 98% of women. Do they really think an inch or 2 of stretchy bits by the leather are going to get the boot to zip over the calf? Or if it does, not to eventually break or rip out the stitching? Some better cobblers can stretch leather boots, but even that's hit and miss.
Sigh. Clothes that don't fit right are such a drag.

Why is having a flat stomach so desirable? It's like... impossible for almost everyone. If you are hardcore into exercise and have an 8-pack, yeah, you might have a flat stomach.
But I mean... no one really has a flat stomach naturally. My sister, who is kindof dealing with a borderline eating disorder, is "jealous of [my] body", but my stomach isn't flat. My "pooch" is bigger than hers! I don't give no fuck - it doesn't hang down to my damn knees, so I figure I'm all right.
LET GO OF THE "FLAT STOMACH" BULLSHIT, MY FRIENDS. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS ASSHATTERY.

@Wibbles: Good times, I hear! :D
@vamvaki_poulaki: I kinda think so, too.
@vanka-vstanka: Well, there you are, proving me wrong! :D I did not know this was possible, but now I do. I learned today! :D
