Hey:-)
I think that every body type has its perks and downfalls. I personally don't really notice weight all that much. For me cleansliness and health are much more important. It is also important to me that you love yourself and rise above your phyiscal shape. I think that the only reason weight should ever become an issue is when it become physically debilitating or medically dangerous.
Of course my body issues affect my relationships. I am not fat, but I am not really skinny either. I guess I have what can best be described as an hour-glass figure. I have big boobs a thin waist and big butt. I am really athletic, so really i don't have all any medical body problems. I am really insecure about my figure though. When I wear a dress that looks sophisticated on my sister (she has a model type figure), I end up looking like a slut. Since I like to wear pretty dresses, I end up getting a lot of rude stares and inappropriate comments from people that make me feel really insecure at times. I try to rise above it though and just wear what I like. I guess what I'm saying is that every body type has its own stigma attached to it.
That by the way includes the popular model figure. I know becuase my sister, who is practically perfect by today's standards, also has body issues. If you let your life be dictated my your figure you will never be happy. No matter what you look like, there will always be something that makes you feel insecure if you let it.
