NWFlyer 2 #51 July 31, 2006 Quote Hey, isn't that all dz.com is? A way to waste some time? Feh! It is a place to ... --get valuable medical advice that can (and should) substitute for the advice of your own doctor --have meaningful discussions about whether "if he said hi to me on the plane after we slept together the night before does that mean he really likes me?" --engage in thoughtful political debate about the issues of the day --debate the merits of small boobies vs. large boobies And you think you're wasting your time.

jumpjunkie2004 0 #53 July 31, 2006 Quote I don't think that's what she was saying. It's certainly not what ntrprnr was saying ... it was more that when you grow up "the fat kid" (or in my case, as "the fat adult" for quite a while) even if you're a thin(ner) fit, adult ... your brain takes a long time to catch up (or never quite does). Yeah, you can look in the mirror, you can look at the tags on your clothes, but some small part of you is still drawn to the rack with the larger clothes or worries that you're going to be the biggest one in the room. After I lost a lot of weight, I was shopping at a street fair booth that had some really cute skirts. I looked at the XL and it was too big on me, so I asked if they had the skirt I liked in a Large, thinking that would be about right. The woman working there said "No, everything we have is out on the racks. You should try a Medium." I looked at her like she had three heads. She pointed to her coworker and said "She wears a Medium in our clothes - I think it'll fit you." I could NOT look at this woman (who was a normal, healthy weight) and think "I might wear the same size as her." Guess what ... that skirt fit me. It takes a long time for the brain to catch up, that's all ... I didn't get that as a fishing for compliments thing at all ... just a reflection on how much that stuff sticks with you. Very insightful : ) My dad called me "fattie" when I was a little girl. In retrospect, he should have been calling my older sister skinny Ethiopian girl. She was rail thin and I was probably just a little overweight at 5. It's stuck with me my whole life. I'm always going to have a negative body image. Intellectually, I can identify that it's something broken in my brain. However, when I look in the mirror, I still see myself as the fat girl : (Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

popsjumper 2 #57 July 31, 2006 The only time I was ever accused of being sexy, the girl was on acid and off in space somewhere....she did return to Earth some hours later but didn't remember saying that. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #58 July 31, 2006 Quote I was fat as a kid. I'm not fat anymore. In my head, I'll always be the fat kid, no matter how thin I get. And no amount of therapy will change that. I can totally relate to this statement. For me though, it was acne. I had really bad acne when I was a teenager. I went to a dermatologist for 10 years! At least that prevented scarring. Anyway to this day, if I see one zit on my face, my mind makes it out to be larger than my nose. And no amount of therapy will change that.

Muenkel 0 #62 July 31, 2006 Dave, I have seen a lot of pictures of you. I've never met you, but I have an idea of what you look like. That's a really good picture of you. That's coming from a hetero guy, for what it's worth. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
