[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the above discussion really shows how distorted our views have become with regard to what is thin, normal, chubby, chunky, fat, obese, etc.

Because over half the population is now overweight, a "normal" sized person now seems downright thin and the chunky person seems normal, and the fat person seems chunky.

But just because our perceptions have changed doesn't change the health issues surrounded with carrying extra weight. [/quote]

I agree. I'm the poster w/ the pics. [b]Even when I was this weight, I can remember trying to frantically diet to lose 10-15 lbs. Didn't happen and I just went with it and enjoyed my vacation. [/b]Now that I'm 30 lbs over this weight, I look back on those pics with envy (even though I wasn't perfect at that size). When you gain weight, you tend to look back on old pictures and think "Why was I so obsessed with losing weight. I looked great!". Perhaps when I finally meet this target goal, I'll remember that I wasn't happy with it in the past and will lose more weight.

I will say that weighing 120-140 lbs is not what I like. I do love how I look in the white dress, so that's what I'm aiming for. If folks thinks that's overweight...well, color me stumped![/quote]

O.M.G.  The irony of all ironies.  This...coming from the woman who for 10 pages bitched to everyone who had "excuses" for not being able to lose their own weight - who called us on our "BS" because of depression or early childhood trauma or other emotional issues...who kept telling everyone to just eat right and exersize.....who just kept saying over and over again "I gained weight from a medical procedure and now want to lose it so I'm doing something about it."  HA!!!!!  And now it comes out that a few years back you tried "frantically to lose weight and it didn't happen????????"  and you "just went with it and enjoyed yourself??????????"  That's what we've been trying to tell you for the last 10 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How quickly you forget your own struggles (and mindset) being so high up on that soapbox.   [/quote]
