Must clear up misconception

[anysia]

Some people think I am trying to 'lose weight' and get thin. Nothing could be further from the truth. Due to a bad thyroid,I ballooned up to a size 24 (maybe more). This was causing other health problems. So, when I say I have finally dropped 3 sizes, it's not because I want to be a Kate Moss. No, I want to be a May West, or Jane Mansfield, or Marilyn Monroe. I want to be healthy. I am now a 16/18, and healthier for it. If I get to a 14/16, there is where I want to be and stay. Round in all the right places. No stick figure this gal, oh HELL no.

i'm a size 18 and the happiest i've ever been. i was sick when i was the "piture of health" at size 12/14 and ppl try telling me that i "should" be that size again. They have no idea what i went through for that size, and should love me for what ever size i am. Just as i finally do!

I just want to be healthy. 16/18 is still causing insulin resistance, so a bit more has to come off. I am not going to go scrawny. I am too curvy to do that, and if anyone doesn't like how I will look, they can look elsewhere.

Exactly!

I'm trying to simply improve my lifestyle, and strengthen the muscles I need for dancin'. That I happen to be dropping a size or two in the process is simply a bonus. It's being energetic, healthy, and happy that counts! Woo! :)

heck, I'd be happy to hit the magical 100 kg mark!

tanx, dear. :)

That is pretty much it. I am not trying to squeeze my lucious round backside into a size 6. I am too curvy/busty for that silliness.

I am 5'8", and a DD, with matching hips. I just want the unhealthy low thyroid/insulin resistance excess weight to go.

p.s. I think I would make a stunning Reuben model.

I hope that this means that the thyroidmeds and all that are working for you. That's wonderful!

It means so much to FEEL healthy, not just look like someone's idea of health.

Yes,it's finally working. 2 yrs of med adjustments,and sobbing because of my expansion,the right treatment/dosage was struck, and I am now getting back to healthy. I want to FEEL good about how I feel (if that doesn't sound too ridiculous).

On an aside..love the corset! :) I must get brave enough to have pic taken of me wearing mine.

You will, kiddo. I saw that determination. :)

You look terrific Anysia :)*hugs*

I'm trying to get down to down my optimum weight but with a Candida problem its really hard .

I'm so hoping to get down to at least 70kg before Swancon next year and so hoping that a job will have me able to buy the medication to treat the candida.

Apart from feeling crappy alot of the time and tired I get the ocassional person that makes me feel worse with "Wow are you pregnant?" or pats my stomach and I have fight myself from saying something nasty .

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

yeah, I've had that. One of my Aunty's told me once I looked like a was 5 months pregnant.

Oh, and there was the time around the age of 13, my mother asked me bluntly if I was pregnant (to find out why I was so fat and seemed not to be loosing anything).

And people wonder why I am so fucked up about my weight...

It's definitely all about the way that you feel. I must admit that I'd love to have a body like May West or Marilyn Monroe. I'm happy being an hour glass. :)

You go girl. :)

[roya-spirit.livejournal.com]

Yes, you must!
and thank you.
I have to admit this one was a cheat, just a waist cincher, but it started on a dare "no one can bellydance in a corset"... oh yeh?
I did.
Not easy, but possible.

Hubby really likes my corset. Of course he gets dumbfounded when I tell him over and over, lace it tighter please. A loose corset means chafing.

the Link won't work. :(
