    • Who is better off?
    • Who has the better job?
    • Who would sell more clothes?
    • Who would be more respected?
    • Who is the better lover?
    • Who has the most opportunities in the world?
    • etc...

    it's a trick question.

    The fella in the yellow shirt has a glass of wine; I think maybe he's the winner.....

    Here, in case anyone is interested.

    Stuff everyone else - I want to do this for me, I was properly skinny growing up and competed in every sporting event going. Now I can't run for a bus, I don't want to limit myself and the only way I can change that is to do this for me. My family are a little shallower and they want me to look more 'socially acceptable' to not embarrass them and I feel guilty that they feel uncomfortable when I meet their friends.

    I like this thread. It gave me a big pinch in a good way and made me do some serious thinking. It has actually spurred me on like a rocket booster. I'm determined now more than ever about a judgment free zone and not making anyone feel less than and at the same time, my mind is set to keep moving forward.

    I've always taken pride in my appearance. Even when was overweight/obese I did the best I could at whatever size I was wearing.

    But I was uncomfortable. When I was losing weight I wanted the fat rolls gone, to be able to wear a bikini and shop at any store I wanted without going to the plus-sized section. I didn't even have a goal weight or a celebrity dream body inspiration. Just wanted the weight off and to get fit.

    I worked really hard, reached my goal and all the above and more. I don't have a fitness model body and I'm not skinny (never strived for either body type), but I'm in perfect health, have a normal BMI, very fit, comfortable with my lifestyle (don't have to diet or overexercise to maintain my figure) I feel amazing and love the way I look.

    Like the above poster said I also feel that it's empowering to embrace your own standards and be the best you can be.


    I keep writing and deleting my response to this thread. This pretty much sums it up for me as well.
