My sarcastic thought of the day...
Hey, I just had a sarcastic thought.
You know what other people think is your 'ideal weight'?
Just a little heavier proportionally than them.
It's is true though. If you're much heavier than them then you're obviously too fat, and if you're thiner than them then you obviously need fattening up.
So 'ideal' fluctuates with the viewer.
Em
So true Em!!!
Its funny you posted that.I had a experience kinda with that a couple weeks ago. My sister n law and i was talking and I told her how I'd like to get down to 140-150..she looked at me and said.."Stacey, you are never going to get down to that" I said yeah I will..I said my sister has lost some weight and got down to her weight where she is suppose to so I know that I can too. she then said to me "You are big boned just like me theres no way that you could way that much..you'd look sick" And i just kinda brushed it off because it may take a lot of work but it can happen..and for two her and I aren't even related by blood..she has only seen me big so she cant see me smaller i guess? I do have bones under all this fat..just because igot a lot of it doesnt mean i'm big boned. But anyways..I think it kinda goes with your sarcastic thought! What I think it really is..she knows she can't get down to that..so she isn't wanting me to get down to 140 or 150. But she kinda hurt my feelings when she did say all that. Nothing positive came from her.

Yup...I have consistently been told in various ways, mean, mid road, kindly - ALL of my life - gee, you are a big girl. And I have been, truth told, on my own curve.
Just wish I'd known that term *my own curve* BEFORE I became bulimic/execise compulsive!!!!!!!
My DH tells me alla time how wonderful he thinks I look now at 185ish. Clearly, at 64.5 inches tall, I SURE could lose another 20-30# and STILL not be small.
Bottom line, not sure where that is for you, but for me, I know when I have crossed the line into not acceptable - for me. But most other yardsticks, I don't measure up.
Luckily, at age 50, I no longer care as much as I have years ago WHAT the Peanut Gallery has to say. I'm glad to be alive, I know most days I am doing the best I can to be healthy, even the days when okay, could done better, it is pretty impressive what you & I do!
That "friend" who said you are now too thin and what was it haggard? - just showed her true colors - GREEN!
