Are you a BBW?

Well, I'm big, and I'm a woman, but I flunk the beautiful part. Honestly, I was never beautiful, cute, yes, but not beautiful. I was actually pretty for a few years in my early 20's, but I am not attractive at my current weight, and I don't have babies to blame for my weight gain. I am currently on a diet, and I've lost about 15 lbs in about 6 weeks, and I'm not really having any trouble staying on it, especially since I keep getting rid of the stuff that would tempt me to stray. Got a few more things to get rid of, but I can eat things I really love, like Special K cereal, just limiting how much I do eat. Maybe I'll actually post a pix of me if I lose enough weight.

Hiya worldwise. Im not BBW, im petite woman. I only 7 pounds, 5'3. hahaha. I think im too small. I do eat alot but i never put some wieght on. I always weigh myself, almost everyday but still 7lbs, sometimes it drops to 6.5lbs when im too stress. Even winter it stays the same. Im trying too hard to put weight on coz i feel too small when im in the crowd and i feel inferior of my size lolz. But the important is we are healthy. Cheers.

Big?Yes.Woman? Yes.beautiful? I am not sure.I was a chubby kid and around teen. I never wanted to diet and I still don't.am I noticed, I don't know. I am too busy having fun and making a lot of friends,mostly guys.It helps when you are a sports addict like I am.I wouldn't want to lose any weight.Why?All my favorite clothes fit.

I am not but my hairdresser friend is. Like you...she has accepted her weight. She is actually really beautiful just as she is and dresses and presents herself as if she is very confident. She has no problem getting boyfriends, dates and looks from men. She does try to lose weight but is not obsessed with it. On the other hand, I have another good friend who is just as beautiful and not nearly as big and yet she seems so self-concious of her weight. Much of her problem is that her father in law is forever making negative comments about her weight which are hurtful and take over any compliments anyone else has for her. I think this is a great discussion and I'm going to have her read it. Maybe she will see that she is just awesome just the way she is. I hope...I hope.

I think after you have children the quicker you can get on the wagon and lose it the better. If you don't it gets worse and worse. Drinking alot of water helped me. There are alot of men who like BBW's. There are sites that cater to just those. I have been slowly losing weight. I think that is the best way but you really have to be strict with yourself. No salt, sugar, lots of water and exercise 4-5 times a week if not every day. Good luck!

I am a BBW. I have never been skinny my whole life. I have since having kids gained weight (almost 4 months of bed rest took my well toned body and turned it into mush). Though never skinny I was health and muscular ,being into sports and karate. For me the weight loss issues are more for health reasons then anything. I did do a number on my body as a teenager trying to lose weight and I did many bad things to do so. I suffered from those mistakes then as well as now, my metabolism has been completely damaged. After a few months of medical care for this it came to be found that my whole life I had suffered from a metabolic disorder most likely from the diabetes medicines my mother had been on when pregnant with me (These seem also to have caused my pregnancy issues as well). I am now being treated for that and although the weight is not falling of miracle style it is slowly starting to melt away. I exercise and listen to my hubby complain that I am turning into a different person. I tell him I am only going back to what I was before but I guess he likes this better or so he says.

I have been either overweight or obese all my light. Kids in school gave me h**l. I never dated all those poor pitiful me things you hear about overweight kids. In college, I didn't worry about it so much as I was focused on my education. Then I married a man who I thought accepted my weight and I thought it would be okay, until he filed for divorce earlier this year and told me what he really thought about my weight. Since then I have lost 50 pounds using weight watchers. I really want to be a healthy weight, buy clothes in the same stores and my friends and be noticed not because I am overweight but because guys think I pretty (especially since I find myself single again.) I have 50 pounds to go until my goal weight. I already feel better both emotionally and physically, its amazing my knees no longer hurt. I am working hard to lose all the weight this time (this is the upteenth time I have tried dieting to get the weight off, its a problem for my whole family). And I will have to be diligent all my life to keep it off. For me its an emotional thing and its like being treated for any other addiction. You have to be viligent or you will fall off the wagon again.

everyone seems obsessed by weight nowadays. I wish people would obsess on their health which are two separate issues. You can be skinny and unhealthy and you can be overweight and very healthy. So I say eat right exercize and get healthy not thin.

I'm not a BBW, I'm just an old LSW (little skinny woman}. The most weight that I have ever gained is while I was carrying my children. Sometimes I wish I was just a little bigger, maybe then I would have bigger boobs then.

Yes I am a proud BBW. I to struggled with the up's and down's. My belief is everyone is not suppose to be an hourglass shape. If so God would made us just alike. I exercise and eat health, and sometimes I eat the no-no food. But I know the limited on what to eat. So whats wrong with been alittle on the overly size just as long as you know how far to go. Happy mylotting big friend.

i am a man though but i really love to meet bbws maybe because i am a black man, i will like to meet you as well and can we have a chat on yahoo messenger, my yahoo id is shynur44, i like bw women because they are often happy ,most skinny women often get aggressive and that turns me off

I feel that I'm not pretty or beautiful woman, but people told me that. For me pretty or not depend on our personalities. Inner beauty is more respectful than pretty face. Okay, I'm pretty and beautiful, but I wanna be pretty inside look, not at the outside look.

I like big girls. More cushion for the pushin. Lol. But no, there are several types of big girls out there. I like the big girls that are toned and take car of thenselves. Got to have some type of shape. Not like an over sized meatball. All in all, Big Girls are cool with me.

I am a sexy beautiful young lady, am now 24 years of age weighing 160lbs however when I was about 22yrs of age I was weighing about 130lbs. I have realised that disorder eating and eating at nights will cause you gaining weight. My tummy is abit big but I just need to maintain my eating order and stop eating at nights. Some people say that I gained too much weight but I am feeling comfortable with my weight. Once you are comfortable with your self don't let people discourage you. Thumbs up!

I'm glad to hear the weight is coming off slowly. Mine is too and I am content with it also. I need to lose about 50 pounds to get to where I want to be. I was never overweight until the last few years. It is hard to adjust to and I do not like the extra weight at all.

I am a BBW. I do need to lose weight because I need to be healthier and now my uncle is having health problems due to his weight. But it depends on what day you talk to me on how I feel about myself, sometimes i do feel that I'm pretty, other times like when I look at a picture of myself I do not think I am whatsoever. My boyfriend tells me that I'm pretty all the time but still it doesn't change how I look at myself. I just need to buckle down and lose the weight. But I know that I will never be "skinny" I just want to be healthier.

I am a BBW also. I was skinny in highschool then after I started having kids the pounds just kept packing on. While in college I did manage to lose quite a bit of weight the summer semester I had to take tennis. I did gain all of that weight and more back though when I got pregnant with my youngest son. Later on after he was in school I lost a whopping 90 pounds and I was really on my way to being back into shape. I worked out alot and ate a very healthy diet. Now I am in my late 30's and pregnant again. I have not put on too many pounds from the pregnancy but I could stand to lose quite a bit of weight after I have the baby. I just want to feel healthy again. I am going to start back on a healthy exercise and diet regime after the baby is born. I will never be down to a size 6 again and I don't really want to be. I do want to lose this belly bulge that I have and gain back more muscle. If I was to lose too much weight my fiance would complain. He likes something to hold onto.

I am a very proud and happy with myself and body. BBW grins. It has taken me so many looong years to finaly just bein happy bein me. I finaly came down to where I say this is me take it or leave it. I do active things such as excersize every otherday to maintain my weight I also would like to lose a few. I would not change for anyone. GREAT TOPIC !!

I really want to lose weight. I will always be a bbw, my body is just built that way, I'll never be very thin or anything, and don't want to be. My boyfriend thinks the world of me and loves how I look. I always tell him how I'm exercising or cutting back on certain foods and he says I don't need to lose a pound. lol It just makes me want to try harder, we have a great relationship and he supports me in anything I want to do. I've learned that it isn't what you look like, but what you think of yourself that determines who you are. Trust me, when you feel sexy, you will radiate with it, and men/women will see that and feel it. You will feel better about yourself when you are able to feel good about yourself.
