message 851: by Brittomart (new)

Brittomart Oh. I do that? Shit, I do that. Okay, I gotta stop doing that. 'cause I didn't know I was setting them up like that.

And this has made me think about one time where I showed myself to someone, and they didn't run away, and I did not get mad at him for liking what he saw. The guy and I liked a lot of things about each other, and we had known each other for a month, hadn't even talked about pictures at all (Because that didn't matter. If a guy asks for a picture, I probably have already cut him off in my mind. He's already pissed me off by just asking). I honestly could give a rat's ass what he looked like; I was completely infatuated. We were talking, and I mentioned something about liking Dorothy Parker. He joked and said, 'Are you sure you're not 40?" And I said, "I would show you a picture, but I would run you off." And he assured me that I wouldn't, but he was joking, and he didn't really doubt my age, and then he said, "wait, how shallow do you think I am?" So I just sent him the picture anyway. And he does this great thing. First, he made a joke. Then he said that he loved my eyes. And I know that people say that if someone says you have pretty eyes, that means they can't find anything else that they like, but the way he described them...I knew he meant it. And then he said he liked my smile, which I don't like at all, and he was very detailed...he really had a way with um, words, and then he does the best possible thing he could do at that moment. He moved on from the picture. He thanked me for sending it to him, and he already knew all about my self-esteem issues, and he knew how hard that was for me, and we just talked about something else.

He was the only person that's ever done that. He let me show myself to him, didn't make a big deal out of it but let me know that he appreciated it (it wasn't like, something I was supposed to do), and then we moved on. If more guys had that attitude, I probably wouldn't be this defensive about how I look.

Haha. I love plus size models. Thanks.

What pictures and video? Because, I'd love to have an accurate description in my head of Britt as she makes it sound more like:

or

Just so you understand my definition of "Huge". :)

My foster mother weighed about 500 lbs when I was in H.S. She's lost over 200 lbs now and is looking and feeling GREAT! But, as a result I think my definition of "huge" and Britt's may be VERY VERY different.

Nes pa?

Phoenix (phoenixapb) | 1619 comments There are a few pics of her eyes and upper half of her face in the Eyes thread, and a video in another thread that asks what TCer's sound like...where is LG? She could pull em up in 2 seconds flat. I'll do my best to see if I can find them.

For pitty sakes, you're NOT "huge". And, you do have a lovely smile! You're darling and you really need to stop with the disparaging comments about yourself all the time. Sheesh! You're going to chase the good ones away with that negativity!

Stina (stinalee) | 749 comments Those aren't cankles either. You have ankles... that would look super cute in capris. :)


message 857: by [deleted user] (new)

I totally agree, Kristina.

Phil | 11837 comments Actually, those are some pretty sweet ankles.


message 860: by [deleted user] (new)

yeah, those are definately NOT cankles.

Better?


message 864: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep.

I confess that I used to have quite pretty ankles, even if I was a bit chubby. But, in the last couple of years I have a tendency to get swollen ankles from time to time and I feel like cankle girl...


message 865: by [deleted user] (new)

what exactly is the definition of a 'pretty ankle'? i always thought there were only three distinctions: the bony ankle, the cankle, and all the rest of the ankles.


Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~ (lyzzibug) | 708 comments Those are nice ankles Brit. NOT huge at all!


message 867: by [deleted user] (new)

Um, I don't know if I have any pictures of my ankles when I was younger. If I'd have known that they would swell like my ex-mother-in-law's I would have had whole photo shoots done!

Here, you listen to this every time you feel the urge to make a disparaging comment about yourself:

message 868: by Carol (new)

Carol | 1678 comments How is "It's okay, I like big girls" making you second rate, and "you're not my type" = you're ugly?
The first comment seems like "You ARE my type" and second one seems like "let's stay friends, there's no spark for me"
It can't be wrong both ways.


message 869: by [deleted user] (new)

And, (I'm adding to Carol), skinny girls get the "no sparks" thing at times too. Right, skinny girls?

Sure! My HUSBAND told me he liked petite girls. We were the same height. jackass. But yeah, I could say I have a type, but then you get to know someone and that falls away.

The ankle should not be the same girth as the calf, and the calf should be more petite than the thigh.

I like these legs:

Handsome armpits as well.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I really want to slap someone on the internet right now. Some people have no sensitivity trigger. Feeling kind of bummed right now and I'm not used to this.

Oh well, it's probably nothing a good night's sleep won't fix.

Steph, skinny girls are lovely too. And, boobs aren't all they're cracked up to be. Look on the bright side, you'll never have them sag and have to pick them up to put them in your bra! That's a "win" in my book!! :)


message 880: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments I've dated large, small and in-between. What was important to me was that they were well-rounded (please, no puns), intelligent and caring people. No sourpusses need apply.

As far as initial attraction, I like a nice smile and a pretty neck. I'm also into proportion.


message 881: by Phoenix (new)

Phoenix (phoenixapb) | 1619 comments I gotta apologize to the the skinny girls...I meant no offense by what I said in my post. I think skinny girls a beautiful too! And many of them have the same problems bigger ladies do, as far as not seeing themselves as good enough or ideal.
I just want to say to all you ladies, no matter what your size or shape...
You are living art! Let no one tell you that you are not an exquisite creature! You are woman and you are beautiful!

Brittomart When people correct me like that, I get pissed off. Like forreal, I know I shouldn't, but I get so angry 'cause it's like they're calling me stupid or something.

Barb, how do you stick YOUR tongue out of Phil? That's magic! You're magic!...like Charlie Sheen.


message 886: by [deleted user] (new)

No, they're encouraging you to learn and grow, Britt. And, having a bit of a laugh. Bun catches me out EVERY time! I take it and I give it, all in fun.

Sally would for sure appreciate a queef attacking cat!

Good kitty!

****************************************************

On a different note, this morning my cat (who normally sits in the bathroom window sill waiting for me to get out of the shower) wouldn't come out of my closet. She just sat there the entire time staring at my shoes. Even after I was ready and went to the kitchen to get my lunch bag (which is normally her cue to RUN to the kitchen for bye-bye treats) she sat there. I brought her some treats and tossed them on the floor on my way out the door.

Later when he got up, Honey found a dead mouse in my shoes...Spring.

Just a couple of different incidents last night. One was from a person making comments that shouldn't have been made, another was from one person bullying another person that didn't deserve it.

Sleep did help though. I am not as upset about it now.

message 893: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I adore Crystal Renn. Simply gorgeous and a real fighter for body image issues. One of my Goodreads friends ghost-wrote a book with her. I was a little sad to read she is no longer plus-size, simply a bigger model (size 8 or so). She is apparently into hiking and lots of yoga now.


message 894: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments Her level of fitness and happiness is awesome, but many of her plus-size fans are disappointed in her, and very vocal about it on her fan website--kind of cruel to Renn, in fact. They're all, "you let me down, Crystal, we believed in you, blah blah."


message 895: by Brittomart (last edited Mar 23, 2011 08:15PM) (new)

Brittomart Okay, breathe, Brittany, breathe.

So something might be....happening on Monday, and I can't focus on anything else, and it's driving me nuts. I can't really tell anyone about it, but dammit, I can't hold water, and I don't know...if it's going to happen. But I really need to focus 'cause I have a paper due soon, but I can't stop thinking about it. I keep telling myself "whatever happens...happens," but that's not doing a damn thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the...event, but I don't want to be let down.
