Yessss....I've noticed that too....I was ready to delete them all the moment I read that....

You should smile much more, Bliss Sage, you're so charming when you smile

Thanks . I've heard that...a lot. Everyone does look nice when they smile .

Cool that you posted your pics, it's nice to put a face on a name. We won't let you delete them!

Well, here's hoping Photobucket will let me delete them .

forget about it, Bliss Sage, I've already downloaded them
Hey come on, there's no reason to feel ashamed. Do you want me to post some of me in full size so that you can see my overweight?

I know what you're talking about! I got back problems because of walking around ducked for years in order to hide them... But it's only in our head, there's no reason to feel shame.

You can download them?? oh....

Me too. Some years ago I discovered one major cause of my chronic back/shoulder pain was my posture, slouching, and some years ago I began trying to stand more up-right, the "stomach-in, chest-out" kind and it helps a lot. When I was in high school I wore very big, baggy sweatshirts and tops to hide...

I figured it out Rose...I have always been very critical of girls who show off their bodies without discretion, but part of me has wanted to do it too, which makes me jealous of them too, because they have the nerve to do it and I don't, so with when I combine those two things and try to be more like those girls I have been critical of, I feel embarrassed.

lol Oh that's funny! Me too I used to wear big baggy shirts and go in a weird posture. My trainer at the gym said I have totally shortened chest muscles He said "Show what you have, girl!" The problem now is more finding clothes I can wear

But we won't remain stuck, will we? Let's be proud, you and me, and show what we have!

Great pics Bliss Sage, and here's a luxureous couch to land on!

Thank you guys . I didn't want you to think I forgot you or didn't see . Doesn't guarantee they won't get deleted from Photobucket, but thanks for the soft landing .

Thanks, it's an older photo, don't remember where I found it, but it looked really cool, so I thought I'd use it

[Brigid]

Well, I've been trying to do the insert thing, for an other photo, just to see if I could get it right......but its not happening.

We all feel sensitive about our photos!!
Perhaps it will help if we say we have already met your mind, and it is excellent!!
So how can the vessel which carries it be anything less than excellent itself!!

Have an eggnog, and hit that button...

Do you know how to find the image's URL? Where's your problem in getting them inserted?

This is true. I am not ladylike, and I'm oddly very proud of myself.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Am shy! People who know me really well, like my brother and fiance, know I can get stressed by public situations. Do I have days of feeling gross? Aw yeah. Do I take crappy pictures and say/do silly stuff? YUP!!!

Can I take a really sexy picture and look amazingly good? Yes. I can also take these kinds of pictures:


Me: drunk, greasy, and smoking. Point being, there are no secrets to me, and I'm far from thinking I'm pristine or perfect, and the camera does not always love me. (Don't smoke and drink, kids, or your fiance will get shots like this.)

That you have great boobs? That's nothing to be ashamed of. Having a good body is generally a good thing. Don't make me start a "Post Your Sexiest Picture Naked!" thread!

No worries--I never drink or smoke and I've no fiancé or anything remotely resembling one and no prospects.

That's nothing to be ashamed of. Having a good body is generally a good thing.

Not everyone grows up with or has an accurate concept of what their body looks like or what it looks like to others. I got badly teased a lot all through school, so it's not exactly easy to adjust to being called a "hottie".

Slamhot Boy was a lucky find! I'd be without a boy if not for him. You never know when the universe will throw someone in your lap.

I grew up with a pretty abusive father who told me how ugly/fat/worthless I was for years. I understand it can be hard to accept you're attractive, and that being attractive is positive.

I'm also really happy and thankful we've had this dialogue. Thanks.

Yes, he seems to suit you perfectly. And you found him at such a young age, you have your whole lives together.

I'd be without a boy if not for him. You never know when the universe will throw someone in your lap.

I don't think I want anyone anymore. I've had quite enough of the universe's someone's, and even it's "somethings". You can only check yourself into a mental hospital so many times in life before you lose it so much you can't even do that .

Some people get it right the first time, others never get it right at all. I don't know why.

I grew up with a pretty abusive father who told me how ugly/fat/worthless I was for years. I understand it can be hard to accept you're attractive, and that being attractive is positive.

And now you're happy and you've made amazing progress...and, again, you're still so young! Congratulations .

I'm also really happy and thankful we've had this dialogue. Thanks.

You too, thanks.

I'm also very proud of you You don't need to be ladylike to be an amazing girl

The only reason why I protested at your comment is that I have a boobies-complex too

[Rose of Cairo]

OK. I want to be with Bliss Sage not only with words but also with actions. Her courage inspired me so much, as well as Jim, whom I admire a lot for always standing by himself. I've always felt uncomfortable because of my boobs-and-fat-complex, to the point that there are things I wanted to do only "when I've lost weight".

Time to face my ghosts! Are we here to grow or not?! So, here you have, overweight and boobs. That is me.





And that's what I look like when I'm not that happy... :

There's no need for that. You're beautiful, period.

And I think you need to redefine your concept of overweight a little, with some help from google!

[Spiritual]

I don't call that overweight either, I call that feminine......


But between you and me, it's time to clean your mirror

[Rose of Cairo]

I am 1m58 (5.18 feet according to this converter) and 75kg (165lbs). That IS definitely overweight. And I can feel it, besides. My back and articulations hurt. I have a too small skelett for that weight.

But thanks, you guys I feel MUCH better now, really. This thing means a lot to me. Thank you very very much.

It's the same mirror, these pics were all taken the same day
... but the mirror is dirty again, indeed
