These words are as wise as they are beautiful.

for me i am fat when i am over the weight charts.. im 5'4 and average is 124 to 138 for so called normal.... well i dont know anymore if i would feel fat at 124 its been hummm 6 yrs since i was that? i sure know the hell i was fat at 158! omg! i am 134 now and not that fat but still feel fat! though average i am sure not fit! im blobby! least i can tie my shoe again! lol! im sure i would feel much better at 124 or less!.. then i wont call myself average. it will be athletic.. cause of my build who knows though maybe i would still be blobby! errrr gross! i think it is how u feel comfortable! at 41 when i weighed 122 i was at 18% body fat< because im muscular> so low body fat or at the top of being low... yet im in my below my weight range... at 114 which i have weighed i was really dangerously low! i think i was like 14 % and still a size 3 ok or 2 lol but im very muscular.. so it did not match up and looked still a size 6!

Don't worry, eat and be happy!

oh here is my issue... a long legged chick that looks much thinner than i! can look 4 sizes smaller than me. by the way that is barbie doll no muscle shaped! says she cant believe i am her size. puts puts on my pants and cant squeeze them on! pizzes me off! lmao!

yea i might be so called average? but now at 134 i can fit some size 4 up to a 6....... i remember the 4's were too big for me when at 124... i had to go to jr oh that caused issues at work! buying short shorts cause that is all i could get! 4's were too big for me! try and get a pair of shorts that fit and stay up! that are 4's and one in above the knee!

Are you talking about me? I never said anything to you. You don't look fat to me, and my pants size is 9-10. But if you are, Thanks for the Barbie comment! Luv it!

Back to the OP - Rachel

For what its worth, I've been overweight my whole life - weight has been a constant struggle. So my opinion could be taken as a bit prejudice. But any guy who has rejected you because of your preceived size, is either an idiot or using that as a lame excuse. Yes, I looked at your photos, and I didn't see anything wrong with what I saw. So with all due respect (and the risk of sounding like a dirty old man) you are a quite attractive lady. So hold your head high and tell those detractors to kiss your a$$. It's probably the best offer they ever had.

You know....you just made my day. Thank you very much

First off, your a beautiful girl. So what if you r a lil stocky, Im my opinion you shoud have no problem findign someon who will find you beautiful, desireable ma nd sexy. There are alot of men that DOnot want barbie. Just be you rself, have faith,a nd do what makes YOU feel sexy. I'm short nad stocky myself. But I know I'm fabulous anf fun. If you believe that people will be drawn to you. Good Luck Sweetie and Welcome to the group.

I think you're hot
<<-- dirty old man

You're simply stunning girl...you have beautiful features...don't let these guys make you feel bad about yourself...there are men out there that appreciate and LOVE women that are thick...you are definately NOT FAT!!

be yourself be tru and if some one dose not like you for you there not worth knowing dont feel u have to change to please someone smile always u have friends x

you are too fat? i am too affectionate i was told last night. (she saw me petting the cat and got wierded out i was told... because i treat her like that. Do i treat my women like pet cats??) but i was not to let that bother me so hey whatever.
ok post away guys i need a laugh

Hey, 5'4! We're of the same height!

I looked at your pictures, and you're beautiful! How could you feel any kind of insecurity when you look insanely hot? And this from a straight conventional girl!

You know, no matter what we look like, someone will have something to say about it. There are people who just have to say something negative or give an insult, which in my opinion, is designed to make them feel more superior, ergo, better about themselves. Don't mind them. They're the kinds that are not worth knowing.

iamx said it perfectly, when she made that analogy with the flowers. Look at Angelina Jolie, she's beautiful but you will still hear a LOT of people judging the way she looks. Don't work on trying to please everyone. Just work on pleasing yourself and the rest will follow.

Oh, did I mention you look hot?

well done for saying that very tru

yea she left me that night

ack sorry my bad wrong window

no .. wait nvm

Dont worry beauty by todays north-american bag of bones ideal...Marilyn Monroe was fat ...your georgeous
