I think the concept of losing weight is very simple really. Eat less, move more. However, it can be so hard to apply to your real life sometimes for lots of people. There can be and usually are some complications and besides that, it can be hard to keep up if you only want to look better and feel miserable while trying to accomplish that.

You just can't win huh?

The other night I went to dinner w/ my sister, her bf, his brother, and their mom. We went to the best mexican place in town and I had two enchiladas w/ rice and beans and they are BIG ASS plates! I stuffed more than 3/4 of it that night. My sister said that later they were talking about me, more as funny I guess. Saying they thought I didn't eat, and they were surprised my short frame didn't collapse over the amount I ate.

That's how I eat when there's exceptionally good food in front of me.

I think it's funny, but also, I don't want other people thinking I don't eat! That's BS, cause I do eat, and IDC what I eat, I don't count calories, I don't limit how much (mostly for the cost, but otherwise ).

And I think subconsiously, I like it when people eat w/ me, or watch me eat, and I try (subC) to eat in front of them if I feel they think I'm too thin or w/e.

the topic of weight can be so hard on people..I am sure being overweight is really tough and am sure being underweight is really tough also. Those on the opposite side of the spectrum may not understand that so much. Skinny people want to gain, thicker people want to lose...either way, with the media these days, we are ALL screwed. A size 0 is very hollywood typical, a 2 is about average for them and that is what young girls (as well as older ones too) think is the norm...now if your body size is naturally built to be a 0 or a 2..by all means great, but if you are a 7 naturally trying to diet down to a 0...that is when it gets bad. Some women can eat ANYTHING they want and stay thin..most cannot.
Thank goodness there are men out there that love ALL different types of women..some like 'em thin some like 'em thick! There is no cookie cutter beautiful. We come in all shapes, sizes, colors and often have horrible self esteems but there is always a person out there (no matter what size you are) that wishes they could look like you...and there is a man out there that wishes he could have ya for his own!!

oo i so have all this crap ... its really just hard to be female these days.

Rlise, I'd love to see a before/after pic if you have one...

I think losing weight IS hard, or, as you guys have said, everyone would have done it.

Although I am overweight I eat in small portions because I just cant eat alot. So when people see me eat small portions or just a salad (which i love) people assume im on a diet and i think thats kinda rude. I was eating a salad at work and my co-worker loudly asked if i was on a diet. Cant i just eat salad because i like it? lol Anyway thats my pet-peeve.
