Why is it that if a girl is a tiny bit ooverweight suddenly shes a pig yhat doesnt take care of herself that you shuldnt respect at all? im not fat i have like five pounds to lose and im on a diet. but people stare at me. they stare at two things 1)my breasts. 2)my stomach. why does it matter soooooo much that imnot perfect? its not like they are! can anyone tell me why just because i have an extra five pounds on me thats all people see.

Being a plus sized model isn't about being a curvy girl that worry about whether or not boys like them. They're just models, whether they're skinny or not. They walk down a runway, flash a smile maybe, strike a pose, wear clothes that are fragile and expensive, and buy whatever they want. They're not even people.
My best friend and I are real runway models. We look ten pounds skinnier than we are, and as if that's not good enough, we're not "tall enough" to be runway models.
If two curvy, pale, bored little punks that did this for the heck of it (and to brag to their friends about partying with beautiful people) and got into modeling, then I think someone who actually IS plus-sized can get into this business.
It's not hard. It's just walking back and forth.

I hear yeah gurl I hate the way I look cuz of what other people say It hurts so bad and I try so hard to look my best. I always try to stay away from people who may pick on me. I was picked on more in middle school and it runied me forever. Its horrble what words can DO to a person for LIFE.

well i'm more than 5 pounds overweight. and it's rly hard sometimes. i actually got rly lucky w/ the people i hang out with. they don't care what i look like, and kids at my school aren't too bad. but i have seen girls and guys get picked on just for being bigger. i get rly pissed when i witness this. just bcuz we have an extra helping of food sometimes and don't fit into a size 2 doesn't mean we're not exactly the same. plus if u look at the people in our world who have made a difference, it would surprise some people how many of them are overweight. so a note to all u skinny bitches who read this, please just leave overweight people alone. making fun of them accomplishes nothing at all.

You shouldn't really cut food but eat less of the fatty ones more fruit but the key to any diet is to exercise you can cut foods but all that ends up doing is slowing your metabolism you need to be active to speed it up

What foods should I ditch to lose some weight? Soda as a first, but what else? I don't want to stop eating everything, just a few small things.

What everyone here needs to remember is that it is that the number doesn't matter, but how you feel. If you feel good and you think you look then it souldn't matter what anyone says or does.

My friend has stopped eating lunch at school because she gained 7 pounds this winter
I've tried everything to get her to eat again. I've even stopped going to my Tech Ed. class so I can make her eat something. But i still doesn't help. I've used compliments, I've even bought lunch for her.
I can't keep this up. I have an F in Tech now and if I get caught skipping class again I'll be expelled. Is there anything that I can do to make her stop starving herself?

I have a problem with my weight also. I'm a female, I'm 4'9 and a 125 or 130.
I go on those websites like ediets and they all say the samething.

What I get tired of is when it saids on there how much do you weight? and then what is your goal weight? I put 117 as my goal weight and they still say I'm too big. I told my older sister about it and she said not to worry about what they say. They don't know how my body is, my hips are way bigger than my waist and so, when I get a skirt or make a skirt I have to make it or buy it to where it will fit my hips more than my waist.

Cause it looks really funny when it fits my waist and not my hips. That's why I like the hip hugger skirts.

I can lose the weight in my waist easy, the trouble I have is in my hips and thighs.
Does anyone know any good exercise for your hips and thighs that actually work?

I know what you mean about people staring. I can feel your pain there.

Coming from a person who lost 70 or 80 lbs, it's not impossible to lose wieght, and anyone who has the motivation to can, aside from a very few medical cases. Proper diet and excercise. You might not get model thin but you won't be considered fat. If you're overweight, it's simply because you sit around too much and overeat.

if you're only 5 pounds overweight, then people shouldnt be noticing. im 15 years old and i'm about 50 pounds overweight. im extremely insecure about myself, but alot of people dont know that because i dont act totally insecure. i dress comfortably, and i hang out with people i love and trust. i have never had a problem making friends, and i have alot of them, and that's because being over weight doesnt phase me when im around them. i am losing weight currently and i know it's a struggle.

another thing is that i dont always have positive people in my life. i do get made fun of,but i brush it off. sometimes it's hard, i know that, but you have to learn to let it go. my dad drinks heavily and when he's drunk he's really mean to me, but i know he doesnt mean to hurt me, because he's drunk, so i brush it off. people i'm friends with at school sometimes make comments and then laugh, because they dont know it hurts me to the extent it does, but sometimes you can turn a negative thing into a positive one. think of their insults as motivation to lose your weight and keep it off. its what helps me.

Maybe raindrop, it's how you present yourself. If you seem to be sensitive about your weight then of course people will notice it.

I know the breast stares are irritating especially since my male acquaintances will actually ask me what size I am. I just ask how big they are and they usually shut up...

i'm bigger but not fat theres girls way bigger than me in school we are all human. eavan if we super thin people would call us belimic or tell us we have a eating disorter there is no perfect bodey.

its not all the media's fault. they are advertising Healthy people, not just the skinny ones.
Ok, you are the reason we have young girls leaning over the toiolet right now. The look at your opinion, and the opinion of people like Janice Dickingson, and say, "Oh, crap, Im fat! Then they end up bulimic all because of one stpid comment!!!!!!

All I can say is be happy with yourself. That is what counts. I'm anywhere from a size 0 to a 2 (blame it on the Cali image) depending how much I dance/workout during that time and whether or not I'm wearing my clothes baggy but even I see myself as fat. I understand your problem raindrops with the whole guys staring at your breasts. I'm a 38 D (yes they're real...it runs in my family unfortunately...)and being as skinny as I am with breasts that big catches guys attention...esp when I'm at clubs and crap. But it's things like that or when they compliment me on how toned I am that have taught me it's ok to be myself. I'm ok the way I am. Once you accept that..you won't have to worry about 5 pounds or such...you'll just be happy with who you are...and that's the only thing that matters in life.

It matters to society that your not perfect. Society tells young girls, and everyone for that matter, that you need to be a certain height, look, and weight to be perfect. And if your not perfect, your terrible and fat(even if you only have 5 pounds to lose.) ppl should respect you no matter what the matter is. For most ppl recognizing other ppl's imperfections,(and making fun of them because of those imperfections) is a lot easier to do then recognize that they themsevles are not perfect. I say as long as your happy with yourself, don't worry about what other ppl say or see. There is always going to be somebody who thinks that you don't look perfect. You just need to say screw you guys, i'm happy and perfect the way that i am!

Here's what gets me about the original author of this post: She is five pounds overweight! That isn't much at all. I think she is just insecure.

It always bothers me when people who really aren't fat think they are. Me? I really am. I'm way more overweight then this chick. But am I complaining about people not liking me because of it? No. I'm the one who really has a reason to complain and I'm not. Most people don't give a damn and they wouldn't give a damn about her if she wasn't insecure about her own weight.

And, yes, it bothers me if people say something about it. But because I have such a sparkling personality (or at least I try) and I get along with people, it doesn't happen very often. Most people accept me for the person I am. My boyfriend even thinks I'm hot and tells me he doesn't think I'm fat. He gets mad if I say I am---probably because it's unattractive to point out your own faults. You have enough other people to do that for you, you know.

The only reason I'm trying to lose weight is because I want to lose weight---not because of other people.

First off, learn some type of grammar skills and then maybe I can take you a little more seriously. Second off, why do you even care about those people who judge you based on the way that you look? If they are not willing to sit down and take the time to get to know you, than why be concerned and fret?

i feel ur pain. if i'm called fat 1 more time by my dad i may flip out.
