I noticed a lot of skin pics (midriffs only poses) of the "skinnier" MFP members. Is this a "look at me, I'm so sexy aren't I?" thing or a "AND YOU TOO CAN HAVE A RAIL THIN STOMACH LIKE ME IF YOU KEEP AT IT?" message to the not so skinny MFP members? Just curious.

    So thin people can't be proud of their body without it being an insult to bigger people?


    Um, no.

    It actually makes me feel less motivated by thinking I'll never get there! Ha

    Are you just curious? Sounds as though you've already made up your mind to me.

    People have different photos for different reasons.

    Honestly... does it matter? You are here for you. Why are worried about what another user is doing?

    That's totally what I'm saying with my profile pic. Obviously.

    I can't wait until I can have the confidence to post such an avatar... I think it's more of a "look what I did" type of thing... than a "nah nah nah nah nah nah" type of thing.

    I know some people didn't mean for it to happen since the cropping on here is kind of weird.

    But hell, if I had an awesome stomach or back or any of that crap, I'd display it too!

    I think some people post those because it is something they worked for and they are proud of it. Others post pictures like that of themselves from the past or of others to motivate themselves.

    they worked for it, they can choose to show it.

    i also have no problem with rich people driving nice cars or people hanging their diplomas on their walls.

    Maybe they just worked their @sses off to get that flat tummy and are proud to show it off.

    Does it really matter?

    This gives an interesting perspective on dressing (or failing to dress at all,) in a provocative manner.

    I think a lot of people are proud of the work they've done, and I also think they deserve to show it off! It's inspirational, they did it maybe I can to! Some people it comes easier to than others of course, I've seen a lot of people get frustrated with how many others out there seem to shed pounds like taking off a sweater, but still, the fact is, healthy eating and excercise work! If I see a sexy lookin avatar with a flat tummy and bubble but, yea i'm jealous but also hopefully one day I can post mine up!
