| Do you find yourself overweight Hi everyone
Here's a sensitive subject: weight. Pretty much all my life I've wanted to weight 5kg or 10kg less. Nothing major, but basically constantly feeling like you need to loose weight. The older I got, the slower my metabolism (I am now the grand old age of 32).
Most women I know feel that way. I was wondering if I was alone out there, or, well, if we're all facing the same struggles with our stupid sedentary lifestyle! I just wish we lived in a world when it's OK to wear a bikini in public without seeing your ribs.  |

| Re: Do you find yourself overweight Man I couldn't even tell you how much I weight. I had this phase of everybody telling me I looked really great, and I still weighed like 100 tons. Am not kidding, I think I have platinum bones or something. Could it be my extraordinary brain?
It would be great if exercise was important enough in our society that our work would set time aside for us to do it, because the last thing I want to do after spending hours at work is more chores. |

Despite being involved in two different types of martial arts, and trying to eat healthy, I've got a bit of a paunch. |

| Re: Do you find yourself overweight You know exdactly how I feel. And the worst thing is that if I start doing sports again (I used to run a fair bit, and I love squash, and soccer's cool too), then I GAIN weight. Like one kilo in sometimes one day. People keep telling me: it's muscle mass... Quote: |

| Re: Do you find yourself overweight It's dangerous to focus solely on weight. Looking at a scale isn'tt going to give you any indication what your bmi is. Your weight is insignificant compared to your body fat. Armadillo, you have a wonderful husband and great outlook on the world. Find a balance between being healthy and feeling good about yourself and don't worry about the rest.
Comparing yourself to the silly standards set by fashion and hollywood.....*thumbs down*. Dove has a great commercial showing this http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com
You only have one body - don't spend your life hating it.  |

| Re: Do you find yourself overweight Well my wonderful husband told me about this girl (whom I said was really gorgeous): yeah, his boyfriend likes them chubby. And she's like 1/2 my size!!! Needless to say am going to mentally torture him with that one for the next 20 years.
I just need to start doing sports again (which I like, so not an issue).
But living in Holland is a little tough too, as the average woman is rather thin, and really tall!
I love that saying, I didn't know it (you only have one body...) |

| Re: Do you find yourself overweight i love the dove advertising campaign. refreshing to see "normal" people on skincare/beauty adverts for a change. i'm 5'7" and used to weigh 8st 6lb which is only just ideal for my height. ideally i should be a bit more. i was 8st 4lb before i had kids, but that 2 pounds remained after my 2nd child which is fine. my weight is now 8st 11lb but i'm 13 weeks preg, so thats no indictor of anything! my weight (unless preg) doesnt fluctuate at all regardless of what i eat and what exercise i do. it goes down when i get flu and dont eat for a wk, but thats it. i'd like to weigh about 9 stone, but it just doesnt change. i hoped that after the previous pregs i'd hold onto some of the weight (i gained 4 stone when preg with 1st baby afterall!!), but nope, it all went within about 6 months, so i've learnt to accept that i'll always be 8st 6lb without any curves and it could be worse! happiness is more important. no point being disappointed all your life over something that cant be changed. so long as you're healthy, you'll be happy.  |
