Curves vs. Skinny

I feel sexier with my curves. My man loves them. I wouldn't want to be a bag of bones.

It'd be a lot easier having somebody to please, knowing what they want and keeping myself that way, haha, not at all in a negative way! Being single/having nobody interested in me, leaves me just running on my own track, its easier when you're trying to please someone, you know what marks you're trying to hit!

Do you happen to have a picture of what you are aiming for, or what you find "sexy"?
Some of these kind of posts confuse me xD When I think curvy and voluptuous, I think overweight honestly

Yeah, I sort of think the same thing, I guess its a thought process then, what curvy is to one person is different to another. I like petite, thats a good adjective, but not as in short, haha I'm more on the tall side, but still somehow being petite as tall as I am, that'd be oool, and I guess thats what I attribute to being petite, thin arms and spaced legs, I'm really self concious of my arms, if there is one thing I could change the most it'd be my arms, I work on them the most at the gym, getting some real good muscle C:

Oh trust me I struggled with that for a VERY long time! In fact my nickname is Heepo xD

There is just a point you reach i think, where you are starting to feel confident, not completely happy, but feeling good. Then you start to have little treats and still feel great! Took me months of work, but I finally am at that point. I found a few inspirational athletic pictures, train hard, eat healthy most of the time and it really will help

After about a month of very good eating, I start to have a treat every couple of days that fits into my macros and no more guilt

Aww, Heepo, thats a cute pet name cx

I try to leave my induldging to homemade desserts or when we go to the movies, butterless popcorn, I honestly sometimes eat a whole bag, but its soooo gooood and the no-butter cuts out a lot of the fat, so I just call it a carb day and go with it c: I love peanutbutter too, thats what helped me gain back a lot of my weight when I got sick from the first run around, when I eat it now I take it for the B vitamins instead of thinking oh wow all this gooey fat thats gonna sit on me later, cus B vitamins are pretty good for you c:

There is a picture on my profile of a heepo, that my boyfriend blew up and put on my wall xD we joke a lot

I'm actually working on my nutrition degree and good for you for getting those b vitamins!
What do you have your protein/carb/fat goal set to? That will really help with body composition
All about being healthy! Eating enough will prevent "skinny fat" and if you eat right, you can have other wonderful beauty side effects like glowing skin, strong nails, healthy long hair. What I have been working on now Just think ultimate goal is to be healthy as possible! To prevent chronic disease, defects, and improve well being, fitness, and beauty

Oh dude, I'm going for a degree in Nutrition too, this is only my second semester in college though, derp, I'm just a kid xc I always feel so little :c My mom and dad always have made home cooked meals, and explained the importance of proper diet and that calories are not BAD, its like, you could get 200 calories from a Hershey bar OR you could get 200 calories from some yogurt and granola, maybe a slice of fruit, thats not bad now see, no need to fear 200 calories, so on and so forth, they've always been supportive and created a healthy environment for us, whole grain breads, fresh fruits and veggies, teaching us to put bran and germ back into foods we make like waffles or pizza dough, how to read nutirtion labels properly, super thankful for their upbringing. I don't eat fastfood but I love to eat out like Red Robins or any hamburger joint!

I dont' really have a set goal for protein/carb, I eat a lot of protein like egg whites and beans and tons of yogurt. Carbs, I'm bad sometimes and I know I don't eat as many as I should, I'm working on it though. I've been down with the stomach flu this past week so my eating has been all breads and rice, haha, but when I'm well again, I'm going to try and be better with them daily.

Sometimes I think its a self-confidence issue, I'm not in a relationship and I don't have an active social life in the state I live in so I think that if I'm skinner/curvier, one over the other is going to somehow help me obtain friends and a relationship where I have to live now, I know its ridiculous and its more of getting out there, and I do! I go to see live bands on the regular and I go to work, I still just sort of have that thought process, and I'm constantly checking out ladies figures in movies, how tall they are to how lean they are, are the curvier or thinner and what roles are they playing, do they have a thigh gap, is that what I look like when people see me, sometimes its hard realizing THIS is what I look like, I didnt' see myself losing too much weight when I did the first time last year, I just saw me in the mirror not me unhealthy skinny, its hard to do that sometimes

I'm 5'8, and I've been 100lbs. That was when I used to get people shouting at me 'EAT.' It didn't look good. I looked gaunt and drawn. I put on a bit of weight, and got me some boobs and hips, and if it hadn't been for the fact that my hair was AWFUL, I would've been hot. :laugh: That was when I was 17-20. Now, I've filled out rather alot, and would like to go back to being thin. Now, by being thin, I mean still having my boobs and hips. I want those curves...but not for my tummy to curve out the way!
For me, being skinny is fine, if that's how you are naturally. If you have to starve yourself into osteoporosis (sp?) to achieve it, then it isn't right for you. But most women look better with some curves.
To me, people like Victoria Beckham are not attractive. I firmly believe that as a grown woman, you should not have the body of a 12 year old boy. If you are naturally skinny, or an athlete, fair enough. Other than that, curves all the way!

The community I used to be a part of DID say that having the body of a 12 year old boy was what was DESIREABLE and that really threw me for a loop but I said "okay!" and did my best to obtain that look, because what I was believing was that if I had a small, thin, bony frame all angles and juts, I'd be doing what "everyone else" desired, and I WOULD have it and THEY would look up to me and yeah, it was reallllly unhealthy and being here is so much better! I love it here way better, it all actually makes sense, haha! All the support here is great and people care and look out for you, its so great, this place is a gift.
