If the people would get the attitude that having tattoos/ body piercings/ body art makes you any different of a person, we could be accepted as a normal part of society. People get the wrong impression of me all the time. Think I'm a bully/ aggressive, a party animal, on drugs, etc. I am just a normal person, working a…

Mine stay basically the same no matter what my weight. I wish I could be a "normal" size in that area... You know, the size you can buy in a regular store, which is usually only up to a DD if you're lucky. For me, as I get smaller, but boobs just appear to get larger. It's different for everyone... I guess it just depends…

It's pretty and looks nice on you... I'd go with a black shoe, a little more strappy , less bulk. But I love pink and I say stick with it!

Same here, wine and beer. I enjoy sampling different kinds, but have passed a few times lately because I'd rather eat my calories. Also regular soda.

I so get it. I'm currently looking for a job, and I don't even apply to a lot of clothing shops because they are all filled with skinny mini staff members, and I've had information from one inside source that a certain department store won't place you on one of its counters if your weight isn't in proportion to your height…

Thank all of you! I've tried to talk to friends about this before and they all think I'm crazy... so it's good to know there's other crazy people out there, too. LOL =D I feel so much better. <3

So, I think I may have been a little misunderstood. I don't want to look like Kat Von D... I have no desire to be a stick. I have been overweight since I hit puberty... that's around 27 years... My body will never look like her's, or the other Barbies. I've fluctuated in weight by 60 - 80 lbs a few times, and had some…

I do not feel the need to keep up with anyone. But I understand your thought process. I would like to argue something with you though... if I may... another perspective.... I hope to be hott and firm again. However, at 51 and what my body has been through, Barbie doll isn't going to happen. Firm may not even happen. But a…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices. I struggle everyday to produce the best artwork I can. And to see these Barbies with the long lines, and I am waaaay better than them, artistically. That may be what matters to me, that my artistic skill is above them, but to the "general public", they want to be closer to the…

I feel the same about her... I don't even respect her, maybe for her talent, but not as a person. I love Marilyn, Bettie, and the REAL women!

I meant 106 lbs overweight. I haven't been 106 lbs since I think 7th grade =)

Everyday when I get up. It may be disheartening to see a slight jump... but it is more-than-equally pleasing to see it go down.

I absolutely feel your pain. I may not have the children to take care of, but I have employees, that's close. =) I have a live-in boyfriend... again, close enough, right? Ha, just playing, but really. I'm 40 years old, full-time, every day, open til close manager of a growing custom tattoo shop. I tattoo, I do body…

Eating steadily throughout the day keeps your metabolism working at a steady pace.... I am a night snacker, too. I have found that making sure I eat steadily through the day, I am not as hungry at night. For me though, it's a lot of habit. Snacking in bed. I don't think it's bad to eat a snack at night, but if most of your…

Welcome back Maureen... I am new here, feel free to add me. =)

I am soon to turn 41, new to this site. Looking to better myself, and find some weight loss friends to inspire, motivate and support me, and for me to do the same for them. Feel free to add me to your friends!
