What's a Girl to Do?
Posted: 01-31-07 08:33am

I was never the butt end of the ugly jokes but i've always had my fair share of the-dun dun dun-fat jokes. I was fortunate enough to obtain the "awesome" gene my family seems to carry and pass on. Though, I was the "cool fat girl" I was never the "cool fat girl with a boyfriend". I never let that bother me, because I always had my writing and music to keep me occupied.

I'm now 22 years old, and i've lost all the weight (no need for an applause Wink ) I am now completely satisfied with the way I look. When I go out in my flashy threads, guys can't help but drool from their mouth. Hey, after 21 years of being miserable I deserve to gloat, right?

Well, my problem is this...My body is disgusting. When I bare my flesh I can't even look without being disgusted. I was fat for 21 years, I didn't expect my body to start off on a clean slate (but mr. Devil if you're reading this, I have a deal for you) but I would never in my wildest dreams fathom I would be left with this body. I have stretch-marks galore. I can't wear things that I would like to wear, i.E., haulter tops, cropped jackets, and bikinnis. I lost my weight out of pure vain resons, not healthy, I admit it.

I'm still a virgin, and I haven't kissed a guy since I was about 16 (a one time afair). Believe me, i'm not a virgin out of any religious or moral reasons. If I could have my way with a man, I would. I'm just very insecure about my body; it's revolting. I'm pretty sure I could make a man go blind!

I feel i'm doomed to live a pathetic and lonely life. It makes me just want to go snack on some cookies and gain the weight back. What's the point of looking good with clothes on and once you disrobe you're a complete beast?

Any advice on how I can cope or should I pack my bags and start heading down lonely way?

I don't think you should worry. Because if a guys loves you and you both finally come to the point you take your clothes of I don't think he's gonna run away.

He will take you the way you are. And I believe it's about the inside of a person, the personility. There are men who don't think that but I do and there are others who do the same!

So I believe when it comes to the point the man you love will take you as you are and will make love to you and enjoys it!

I honestly don't think it will matter to the right guy. Trust me. The saying,"love is blind" is absolutely true. I have dated women that other people made fun of me for because they were "fat or big nosed or whatever" but I liked them for *who* they were, not how they looked naked. I was madly in love with a girl once who was 205 lbs. She was (in my mind) the most beautiful girl. We broke up (not because of weight, because i'm an a$$) but I still think shes beautiful. No worries....Not all men are pigs!

Well, the stretch marks will fade over time.

You should also work out and do plenty of resistance training whilst on the correct diet in order to tone up. Go to body building.Com - you will get good advice on the figure you want there.

Many say "don't worry blah blah", but you clearly will. So try to do something about it.

Stretch marks can be minimized with creams..and certain types of working out.

Besides, there are a lot of guys who are shallow and prefer skinny girls..and then there are guys who appreciate girls with a little more meat on their bones.

I don't intend to sound demeaning or womanizing .it's true.
some guys are just attracted to girls who aren't anorexically thin.

Just keep that in mind Wink

skizzi123 - I dont agree with you..... Believe it or not out there, there are females that do "look after themselves" but are still classified as larger women!! Some women are just born like that and it cant be helped. I believe you really do have a shallow look at finding a woman but you seem to have found someone so congratulations!!

I have to ask you though, if the woman that your with now for whatever reason puts on weight and is no longer "skinny" what will you do? Leave them? No longer love them??

Just something to think about..... Not everything is black and white!!

I will say that I agree with you in one aspect of your post..... Its not all about the looks, it also has to do with self confidence and self esteem!

I still dont agree with the rest though..... You say even if your born like that you just have to work harder?!?! Some womans bodies werent made to be thin, its impossible!! Have you ever thought of thyroid problems, someone being larger because of a tumor that for whatever reason cant be operated on?? You could starve yourself for 2 years and you still wouldnt be thin!! There is more to a woman than her weight!!

To the author of the thread:

I said that stretch marks would fade.

You should also note that loose skin (this may be something that you have a problem with) can tighten up over time, especially if you are young.

skizzi, some people are genetically predetermined to be in a certain size category. just like some people are naturally thin, some people are naturally larger. no one ever argues about people who have a hard time keeping weight ON saying they "aren't doing enough" it's crap. I am a larger girl and damn proud because i guarantee you I eat more healthly that you do and i work out more. i ball room dance for crying out loud. peoples skeletal frames are built differently. people inherit body types form families just like noses and eyes and smile and diseases. and don't bother arguing back, because it's true and maybe if you read a book about the human body you would know that rather than just blindly accepting what society deems to be correct. because most women who are "thin" and "healthy" are not. they are usually under weight or have other health issues. a skinny person can get type 2 diabetes or heart disease or have bad colesterol or high blood pressure just as much as a larger person. If you are going to attempt to argue a subject, know more about it, know the truth and for that matter learn how to type because it's like reading another language because that gibberish you are writting is most definitely not english.

PS, The Godly One is right, skin is highly elastic and unless you just lost so much weight that there is no way for it to tighten, then it's going to work itself out Smile congrats to you on achieving your goal!

Your problem is about Self-Love
Posted: 07-01-08 17:27pm

You don't have any Self-Love and without that I doubt that you could ever love a significant other in your life. You see that Self-Love must be the Pivotal-Point around any and all relationships, to put it quite bluntly, If there is no Self-Love and you cannot love yourself, how are you going to love others?

I will not come out and say looks are unimportant because they are for everyone no matter what they say its a human condition, everyone likes someone to look good to (now read this)THEM, what one person sees as ugly(I hate that word) another will see an the most beautiful attractive person they have ever seen.

So it sounds like you lost your weight pretty fast which has caused loose skin, now without seeing it I can not know how bad your problem is but if it very bad, don't fret it can be fixed, it might not be the vision you have in your head of the perfect toned body(come on who has that now adays) but you will be able to get yourself into a place where you are happy about it(this is if it is really bad).

What you need to do for a beginning is to get lots of protein into your diet, this will help with the exercise program you will be starting, this will be a figure comp weight lifting program have a look here http://tinyurl.com/6jq8rc for training, you are not looking to get massive but you need to put muscle mass on to fill the skin out.

This will not take masses of muscle less than you might think, if done right you will look fantastic, at the moment drink as much water as you can and get yourself in to totally body massage ASAP, the water will allow your skin to become more elastic and the massage will help it tighten a little, and when you start your weight/resistance(start super light and work your way up) training keep it going with the massage.

Now lets say you have taken a year or two to at this and you still have too much skin(I highly doubt unless it was a lot of excess skin) there is the surgery route, I would advise you to try all other avenues before going this way, its can look good very good, but it can be pretty invasive surgery and has its own list of complecations, the human body has a great capacity to fix itself you just need to nudge it in the right direction before you allow people to cut bits off you.

Good luck and be happy!

Eddy
