I am overweight and i suppose i give out a false impression by my avvie. However, i didnt see any on there that reflected me accurately. I always tell people if asked about my body shape, size that i am ample and certainly not skinny and surprisingly have never been ridiculed or turned away because of it - on the contrary usually guys on here say its nice for a girl to have meat on their bones. Of course that doesnt make me happy with my own body, i long to go back to the days before kids where i could turn guys heads when i walk in a room, but age is a worse enemy there than body size - lol. I am trying to do something about my size at the moment, slimming and walking alot, but that is mostly because i want to be as healthy as i can be, i owe that to my boys and husband, but having lost over 2stone since the summer, i realise that my all round happiness has improved by doing this. Dont really know how i got here in this thread, i have digressed im afraid, but as a kind of postscript to the original thread, i think personally a well covered, curvy and sexily dressed woman is infinately preferable to most men to a bag of bones who looks like she needs a good meal, thats what i have usually found anyway. Love the body you're in gals, and if you dont then change it!!
