I am not a skinny woman. I am large. But I do think I am beautiful. I mean in general, When I get myself together, I look good, I carry myself well. I think when I lose weight I worry sometimes I will just be average looking, BUT I'm willing to be average looking and healthy. Especially since I am married. Happily.

so I am wondering if there is anyone like me, who is very over weight (i am trying to lose about 80 lbs) who still sees them self as beautiful (most of the time, we all have our days)...

come on BBWs (big beautiful women) lets hear ya!

    I think BBW is in the eye of the beholder, just like any other beauty really. Have any parameters really been established for BBW...I don't think so...

    I think you are beautiful at the weight you are in your pics, and you will also be beautiful at a smaller size.

    I'm tall, but my goal has and always will be a healthy weight.

    I did 25lbs ago. Heck, even 10lbs ago. Most of October I simply felt "fat" ;(

    But on an unrelated note, I can't read BBW without thinking back to the time when me and my friend stalked POF and her ex was on there. He had himself listed as Tall/BBW or whatever it is... I burst out laughing telling my friend she dated a big beautiful women. Now they're planning on getting married next year xD. We still laugh about him being a BBW.

    Edit: Yes, I wasn't too terribly overweight before, but I felt like I was and feel a world of difference now.

    I think there are 2 issues here - one is that subjective notion of beauty, the other is health. Of course it's possible to be big and beautiful, totally gorgeous, sexy etc, but beyond a certain weight your health suffers.

    To me, weight and beauty aren't specifically related.

    There are many "big" women who I think are beautiful and many "small" women who I think aren't especially beautiful. And vice versa.

    Luckily everyone has their own standard and viewpoint, so I think all of us are beautiful to someone!

    I think I look decent when I throw on a little makeup and get souped up. It's rare. Any other time I just feel fat.

    Regardless of my weight, I have never thought "I'm ugly" or "I'm unattractive". I have, on the other hand, though "I'm unhealthy" and "I wish I could breathe."

    I've always been big, and I've always been told I'm beautful...by more than one on more than one occasion. I'm willing to accept both...not to get healthy!

    ^^ this is also true for me. I've never thought I was ugly, just not that attractive. Just like, I don't hate myself, or dislike myself, it's just that myself and I are not on speaking terms, currently. That has changed a lot though since I started to be who I really want to be. Now we're getting there. I think I need couples counseling for myself and I...

    Love these responses:) Keep them coming.

    I just love that knowing "fat and ugly" are not synonomous, and Chris (I think) thank you for that!

    you are gorgeous no matter what! You are rocking that pic totally confident. I agree with the other posts that skinny women can be ugly because of personality or whatever. Keep believing in yourself! I need to take my own advice! lol

    I'm still 60 pounds from the weight I should be for my height, but I am a very beautiful woman, inside and out. I'm not healthy yet, and I'm certainly not where I want to be, but that doesn't stop me from feeling good about the person I am. I suppose that makes me a BBW, but that's not what I want or deserve for myself.

    :happy: There are so many pressures to be perfect, to wear a single digit size, to be "skinny".

    It took me a while but I truly believe I'm a BBW.:flowerforyou:

    Maybe because I'm in my mid-40s and after many yo-yo diets, unhealthy habits and working through an eating disorder, I have resolved that I can be healthy and beautiful without being "skinny". I've made a commitment to myself to be within a healthy weight range through improved nutrition and exercise. I don't care what size I end up being as long as my BMI is in the healthy range. Yes, at that point I will be a BBW just a little smaller one. I'm fine with that and the man in my life loves me no matter what size I am. I love me too :happy:

    I don't feel I look better or worse then the average person. I don't think I am ugly but I surely don't think I look good when I look in the mirror and see fat rolls. Not many people I know find that attractive.
