oh my god i so understand you
i am naturally a really skinny person..everyone tells me that i am. and my stomach is not FAT..it’s just that it will never be flat. i always have that little bump and even if i died of anorexia i would still have it!
off to do some sit ups now
ps. i am just shocked about those models. it’s really disgusting, the message they’re getting out. it’s like, ‘we do not have clothes for you if you are plus-size but we do if you are skinny and want to look microscopic in baggy clothes’

I totally feel your pain… I’m a small person, but I’ve ALWAYS had the Buddha belly. Skinny arms and legs, no T & A, narrow hips… but a big ol’ fat stomach. It’s hard to find shirts that fit me right, since my waist is the biggest part of me, when it should be the narrowest!

>I nearly punched a little stick-bitch in the mouth when she asked, â€œDid we have a baby last year?â€

WE? Did WE have a baby? Yes, lady, you and I together had a baby. Last year. Don’t you remember? How condescending can you get?! I’m pissed for you!

I’m overweight and I get more guys coming up to me at bars and such because I have boobs and they don’t. So everyone wins, I guess.

@verbatim, actually, a zero is equal to an 18

Those woman do look tiny, but I used to work at Lane Bryant, and the woman they use as models are actually a bit bigger. NOT FAT… They look like a skinny person still, but they are not the THIN model… Size 12 is like the biggest a plus size model can be, once you are a size 12, you are in the danger zone of never working again! So stupid…

I took my kids in to get their hair cut and the girl doing their hair was plus size and gorgeous – she had really funky clothes, jewels in her hair and a big smile. I told her she looked fantastic and her reaction? “Do you think I’m pregnant?” I told her “no” looking fairly confused and she said that alot of people ask her when she’s due and it’s making her really depressed about her weight. I find this really incredibly weird. She doesn’t look the least bit pregnant, she just has serious curves. It made me think that nowadays we have this attitude that if you don’t look like a famine victim but dress like you love yourself you must be pregnant. I reassured her several times she just looked fabulous and not the least bit pregnant and when my 8 year old who was oblivious to the “pregnant or fat” conversation chimed in with something like “yeah, you are really funky” she believed us. I’m plus size and I’ve been doing the “dress like I hate myself” and that’s changed since talking to her. But finding clothes to suit/fit/make me feel good is almost impossible.

Since when are sizes 12 and 14 plus size?! Some people are almost as dilusional as the crazies in Hollywood!

I work at Kohl’s, and all of our pictures featuring our Women’s fashions use plus size models. They look really nice. And our clothes are nice, mostly just the same styles as the Petites and Misses in larger sizes.

wow
I have buddha belly and a tilted uterus: never knew those things were connected. I feel better now! Hey, on the plus side, you can gte into some water parks and amusement parks for 1/2 off if you are pregnant bc they assume you wont go on the rides. so, he the belly is good for something.

and in my experience, only women think thin women are really attractive. Most guys i know look at the boobs first, face second, then the booty, legs etc, aLL before the belly.

Same thing happened to me at a gym, Angela. I nearly punched a little stick-bitch in the mouth when she asked, “Did we have a baby last year?”

Dont worry Beet, I’m 7 stone 4 and I have a bump. I nearly hit a woman on the bus with my handbag when she asked me when the baby was due.

I just looked over the Torrd website, and the reason that those girls look great is because most of them are pretty, and most of them are not really fat, either. I guess the best description for most of the girls is ‘plump,’. Many men find this type of woman luscious and very appealing. Real sex appeal is determined by phernomes and instinctive drives, genetically determined. Society can dictate the cultural ideal for what a sexy woman looks like, but in most cases people are motivated by their genetic predispositin.

Adair: it’s an actual condition. It can sometimes make it harder to conceive, but by no means always, I have some friends who found out about the tilted uterus when they had their first OB appointment when they were pg.
