Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 03.23.2012, 06:55 PM: Appearance and Weight So, I've been kind of bothered by the amount of girls in my grade who are obsessed with being skinny. It's not good for them, and it's definitely not too good for bystanders, such as myself. I find when they start degrading themselves over weight or hair length or their face, it makes me worried about my own appearance.

Posted by husky51 on 03.23.2012, 07:16 PM: I am fat... pure and simple. I've lost weight and gained it back a few times, now I don't bother. If I lose, fine. I don't go overboard when I eat and i eat mostly lean things. Don't care for cakes, might have an occasional donut or piece of pie. I've had ice cream in the freezer for months and haven't gotten around to eating it. My doctor has told me that I am not allowed to diet to lose weight because of the meds that I am taking. I have to pretty much eat the same foods during the week. I can have a couple of salads, but I have to watch the Vitamin K intake since too much can affect some of the meds.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 03.23.2012, 09:48 PM: Ahh, I didn't mean to make it sound like I don't know how super skinny people feel. I do. My friend who is has always been called anorexic and whatnot. It hurts her feelings a lot since she's kind of like me in how she eats; not very much but a lot at times.

Posted by husky51 on 03.23.2012, 09:58 PM: groan.... after bragging about how little/lean I eat I just filled up at the Sizzler.... fish and chips, bowl of beef stew, good sized salad, a bit of choc pudding, banana w/ strawberry, a bit of berry pie with a bit of ice milk on it. I feel bloated right now...

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 03.23.2012, 10:31 PM: Henh, Roar, you're around the same height as me. Except I'm a lil bit shorter. Closer to my boyfriend's height. I'm 166 cm and he's possibly 170 cm tall. At most 172 cm. My average weight falls between 55 kg and 60 kg. My overall weight hasn't changed since I was 12, but my clothes have all gotten smaller in size.

Posted by Kazegami on 03.24.2012, 05:17 AM: I would very much like to be thin, myself. I like the idea of being angular and bony. I had a friend at school whose figure I always really envied; she was was a very healthy person, ate healthily all the time, played sports often, beautiful skin. As far as shape goes that resulted in a very sort of boyish figure really, slim hips, just sort of flat everywhere.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 03.24.2012, 10:17 AM: Ahh, I know what sort of figure you're implying Kaz. I get jealous of some of them too. One of my favourite models looks very much that way. I didn't even realize she was a girl! I thought she was a very feminine man up until yesterday, because her hands kind of looked masculine (but small). (she's not a fashion model really, she just models her own scarves and things like that. I love her personality and how she dresses)

Posted by hopexx5 on 03.24.2012, 10:46 AM: Im natrually quite skinny, I doubt ill be gaining weight because i eat like a pig now and i havnt gained any. I have habits of downing drinks in one and eating burgers as quick as it suits me, but despite that i seem to retain a fairly slim if not feminime apperance.

Posted by Wikidkid101 on 03.24.2012, 12:22 PM: I am what you would call overweight, I am not fat just... podgy! I was never like this all the time, just the past few years, I have become very lazy and I eat quite a bit and I am not burning it off. The fact I have a sweet tooth and a very big liking for chocolate so much so you could call me a chocoholic doesn't help, but I have never been embarrassed with my size. I am trying to lose weight at the moment by cutting back on portion sizes and all the sugary stuff I eat, as well as the amount of coke and fizz I drink. I am also giving up chocolate for lent to try and loose some weight and to prove to my friends I can do it. (I am not religious).

Posted by Orphic Okapi on 03.24.2012, 04:37 PM: I am 6'4" (193 cm) and weigh about 150-60 pounds (70 kg, roughly). This body type, I've found, is generally frowned upon in men.

Posted by husky51 on 03.24.2012, 04:40 PM: hahaha, my oldest son is 6'3" and weighs about 270-280 pounds, the last I heard... a bit tubby, lol |

Posted by Kazegami on 03.25.2012, 12:32 PM: That's a bit like what I'm trying to get into the habit of, Saviour. Instead of snacking I'll just drink water or tea instead, and try not to eat except at mealtimes.

Posted by on 03.25.2012, 02:04 PM: I am incredible skinny and I am not sure why. I can eat like a pig and will not gain a thing. I exercise occasionally, but not so much that I would lose all of my weight.

Posted by husky51 on 03.25.2012, 04:33 PM: And in this Forum, zachary, you can deal with it yourself or let others give an honest opinion. I wasn't much with the girls when I was young, but when I see pics of myself from back then, whoa!!! I guess it was more my personality than anything. I had been raised a mpmma's boy for the early years and was somewhat of a nerd, even back then., not very athletic altho I could run and climb quite well. I seemed to attract the brainier, plainer girls and with few exceptions, I wasn't happy with that. I was 5'6" and 145 lbs when I joined the Navy at 18.

Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 03.25.2012, 05:02 PM: I weigh about 54 kg and I'm 5"4. I suppose I'm what you'd class as 'slim', but not particularly skinny. I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and I would stay super tiny, but in recent months my metabolism seems to have slowed down (probably because I'm towards the end of my teen years) and I've put on weight. It isn't huge amounts, just a little on my tummy and bum, but I don't know. A little adds up to a lot in one's mind. I don't have a huge issue with my figure, but I'm not really happy with it - I'm starting to wonder if anybody ever is.
