skinny vs curvy

[Rachiebaby24]

I'm just talking to Tracie about this on MSN! I prefer the curvy look. I'm 5'2, have size 3 feet and get into size 4 (US size zero) quite easily and I weigh barely 7 stone. But not because I starve myself, goven half a chance I would sit and eat 24/7, mainly junk food. I am just so petite! I know my weight isn't healthy and I hate that I am so desperately thin and I keep getting told by people that I'm too skinny. That hurts the same as being told you're too fat. If I could be any size I would be a size 10/12, have a bum, some hips, some BOOBS!! So am I extremely jealous of all you curvy ladies, any unwanted weight, chuck it over here!

i hear ya....the amount of people who would say to me "oh i would love to be your size" etc - even when i was pg (i lost loads in first tri) people would say your soo lucky but i hated it

Did you say you'd managed to put weight on? If so, how the heck did you do it?!

I dont know.....think it was my age....since havin g Maley i have only put on a few lbs than what i was pre-prgnancy....i dont know how i do it....for example today i ate:

three toast n peanut butter for breakfast
toffee crisp
2 packets of nik nak crisps
tuna baguette
2 toast n peanut butter again
rocky chocolate bar
3 cereal bars
a orange
beef stirfry n salad for dinner
2 cans of coke

and as im writing this im drinking tea with jammie dodgers and another rocky bar.....

and the thing is....thats not that much cos i havent been shopping!!!

My little sister who is 9 is so skinny, she looks ill. But she watches all these programmes on tv and all the girls in it are these plastic anorexic kids. She is a fussy eater anyway but it can't help that what she watches puts things like that in her head. Plus I noticed while watching a few of these things that if there is ever a larger girl in it they are always the stupid one or the geek... why?

Lets play devils advocate then ....

If i were to hand you £20,000 for free to spend ONLY on cosmetic surgery/ self beautification (hair, nails, tans, etc) no combacks the money would be yours to keep.

Would you take it?

absolutely honestly hol i wouldn't change anything with surgery. but that's just me.... i see natural beauties who are older like a lot of french actresses, they look old, but they really look gorgeous. that's what i hope for!!! lots of water for me!!! xxx

thats a lot of stuff! I don't eat breakfast which is probably a bad start. I mainly snack during the day and then have dinner. I used to eat like that though. Do you find that eating a lot of crap foods helps though? Or is it everything in moderation or well balanced diet?

I agree with alio and tracie. given money I would stretch to getting my nails done and maybe a spray tan but no surgery for me thank you

when i was younger i had a really unhealthy body image - that was due to being skinny.

Now, i can honestly say i Love my body and i am happy with it. Yes, i have greasy hair. Yes i have bad skin. Yes, i have dark circles under my eyes no matter how much sleep and water i have, yes i have crooked tteth (which is the only thing i want to sort out so i can smile for wedding pics if i ever get married )

but i can honestly say i dont care and i know my worth.

Your personality can make you look pretty anyway.....at school there were these twin boys....one was good looking and an arse and one was not so good looking but so lovely.....in some weird way the not so god looking one was more handsome because of his nature and personality.......its what inside that counts.

Dont you just love a good old debate ...

For the first time in a few weeks a debate thread has made me smile rather than want to tear my hair out

tbh i admire you girls for being able to have that mindset, and just be happy with what youve got.

hmmmm not sure that would be true.....!!! if the money was there right in front of you...you really wouldnt???

I had a boob job in 2005....i used to be really unconfident about my boobs (i was skinny and a 34b).....it was never anything someone said it was how i felt about them...i used to feel like i was depriving my boyfirends of boobs!!! lol...... as i got older i got less and less bothered and i think i would be ok with them now im older BUT Then i had the chance to have a boob job and i coudlnt say no and i was the best thing ever.

I dont think i would have anymore surgery and i would certainly not put myself in debt to have anything done BUT, if i was handed money to have something done then i would definately have my teeth done but nothing like a facelift or something like that. I believe in enhancing not changing. I enhanced my boobs and facelifts etc are too intrusive IMO.

awww... i promise it's true rach!!! hee hee.... i think if you want to do it to make you feel more confident then that's fab.... it genuinely doesn't interest me. xxxxxxx

i couldnt im scared of needles and pain.. i just get by with my tattoos.. the thought of ppl cutting me scares me... aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Rachiebaby24]

alio - i think that its so good and a healthy thing that you wouldnt be tempted....i would like to think i wouldnt but i dont know if i coiuld be that strong if the money was in front of me....i wonder if thats because i have had surgery before??

i want to add that i didnt have the boob job to be perfect. I dont believe in one perfect! Just as something is perfect for one person is not for another. I believe in making yourself happy for yourself not others and i had my boob job for ME! no-one else!

Id spend every last penny

Of course i wouldnt have stuff done for the sake of it, it would be on stuff i would actually want.
