[QUOTE="Lil, post: 653037, member: 17309"] That's a lovely though Cedar...but it really doesn't work. I'm not a person who ever wanted to be thin. I'd be perfectly happy to be "fat but fit" as they say. I was big when Jabber and I met. I was big my whole life actually, though a good portion of that I was on the low-end of "plus-sized". I'd LOVE to have the body I had at 25...which was still pretty big - an 18/20. But the fact is, I never had trouble getting guys as a big girl. Found myself TWO husbands (sorry Jabber dear :) ). I would occasionally do Weight Watchers or something and try to lose a few pounds, but my heart wasn't in it because I felt I was already good the way I was. Other big women talked about people looking at them or whispering about them or calling them names because of their size and I thought, "Really? That happens? Never happens to me!" Either I was oblivious, or maybe it was all about the confidence and how you present yourself...because I considered myself pretty darned attractive in those days and I was pretty healthy, smoking and drinking notwithstanding. Then I met husband 2 (That's you Baby! ;)) and he's very non-discriminatory about weight. In fact, he prefers larger women over tiny ones. He loved me and I loved him and we happily ate our way up the scale for years until one day we freaked out at the weight we'd hit without realizing it! So we started following WW and lost...but it didn't stay gone. I'm all for the power of positive thinking...but it's kind of like ... if I don't really focus on that one thing ... losing weight ... it won't happen. And right now I'm very unfocused. [/QUOTE]
