First comment: Almost without exception the women who have posted here saying they are bigger and proud of it have chosen an avatar of a thin woman. Why? i don't have an avatar because i haven't uploaded a photo yet, but if i was going to choose one that wasn't a picof me i would want it to represent me and what i believe. So if being a bbw and proud of it is important to you, why are you girls choosing avatars with thin idealised bodies?

In my opinion an attractive body is all about proportion. i have a friend who is 5 foot 10. She is carrying a fair bit of extra weight but it is spread evenly over her body and she looks fabulous, like a goddess. i'm only 5foot 3 so every extra kilo really shows. Again though, up to a point it goes on evenly and i still look good. At the moment though i am carrying extra weight around my belly, still there after my last child, and i won't really be happy with my body till i move it.

i was actually a bit heavier than i am now when my Master first saw me. We then lost contact, i had another baby and when we got back in touch i was smaller than i had been, although still not back to where my body was before having kids.

i have been trying to lose the last of the weight, He knows this and has been encouraging it. But the other night He asked me if i was trying to lose it for Him and told me that if that was the case i shouldn't, that he loves my body as it is (and i think He is worried that if i lose more weight more will come off my breasts - he is so greedy, they are dd, they can afford to lose a little!).

But i thought about it and i'm not trying to lose it for Him. i just don't feel like me while i'm carrying it.

So i told Him that and He's going to keep encouraging me and use His influence to make me stick at it - because He knows it is important to my happiness.

Body shape is important to me but body size really isn't - although once you pass a certain size it is hard to stay in proportion unless you are 7 foot tall!
