now that I know her name is BabyDoll, I will stop calling her Fat Girl.

LOL, yeah
I was afraid FatGirl wouldn't see it if I posted it in the other blogger's place only. And I hoped it would encourage and support her.

I identify with this problem!
As a clinically obese woman, I understand FatGirl's problem. I am 5'1" and weigh 180. I used to weigh 210, but I managed to lose 30 pounds. I am still 50 pounds over what is considered a healthy weight for my height and build (very small bone structure). I am not obsessed about my size, but it does present some problems.
A woman with my shape looks horrible in most of the clothing that is marketed for women, even if it's the right size for her. A woman with a discernable derriere, bodacious boobs, and big biceps looks awful in a sleeveless column dress. Most blouses in my size fit great, except that they don't stay buttoned across the bosom. If I get a size that will stay buttoned, the armholes hit my waist. Armholes also present a problem if your biceps area is bigger around than a Pixy Stix. Jeans and capris, even those supposedly made for the "full-figured" woman, are simply not made to contain anything more than the perfect yoga butt. My butt is more of a "Yogi (bear) butt." And I have thighs. Which means that pants and pantyhose don't fit properly.
My point is not to kvetch about my size, but to bring to the world's attention that clothing manufacturers are not making clothes porportioned to real people. I think they use pipe-cleaner models.
So I can understand FatGirl's complaint. I have the same problem.

If you wanna see Dreah get nasty...
then mess with this blogger...
She is only being honest about how she feels about herself...
she has a right to feel anyway she wants about her body..
If she wants to stay "fat" that is up to her
If she wants to lose weight, that is also up to her
She is as perfect as she feels she is and has the right to express it
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR HER STRUGGLE IS ENCOURAGED.
PS.. "fat girl" you are 1 size smaller than myself AFTER my losing 30 lbs.

REAL MEN don't like CHALKLINES!!!
i think Monica Lewinsky if a fox!!! and if Brad Pitt had any sense he'd have married her instead of that stick figure he tied the knot with. Now, in case you think i'm some fatboy fan of yours, i am a 6'0" man who would love to tip the scales at 185, thus far i'm 20 lbs. underweight!
Go to a museum if you want to see what classical beauty is all about, and &%#@ Cosmo and all those rags that hype anorexia!!!!

Hang in there girl!
Don't skip meals. Skipping meals slows down the metabolism. Take a cheat day once a week. Get a female trainer. The guy you hired sounds very un-professional talking about all the girls he's screwed. Keep working out. Do the ellyptical trainer with a slow to moderate pace(40-50RPM's) on the fat-burner program. Eat six small meals a day, (low carbs, six servings of protein/day). I am a certified trainer and used to be a competitive bodybuilder. The ellyptical trainer will get easier. Don't quit before the miracle happens, darlin'!

Hunny, Think Only Of Yourself
I admit it, I used to be a size 0. Now I'm bordering on a 7. I know I am still thin, but to the girl that 105 most her adult life, a 7 is pushing it. That is my own stupidity.
I have slowly come to see that you have to do what makes you happy. The main objective is to stay healthy and keep a good view of yourself (the fact you have an awesome man helps).
I know that keeping up at attitude can be hard, especially if people make negative comments. But guess what, at a size 0 I was getting negativity all around. People constantly told me I was too skiny--to the point that I now HATE the word skinny. My problem, not diagnosed until after college when I had dropped down to a mere 96 lbs, was Acid Reflux. I simply did not eat because whenever I did I'd get sick. Now I'm on Prevacid and resting at between 120 and 125. I am fairly happy with my weight, only wish the little tummy bulge would go away.
My point is that I finally realized I was sick and went to the doc. I didn't gain weight because people told me to.
So you do what is healthy and good for mind, body, and spirit.
(My apologies for talking "bubbles" but it's 6:30am, and I haven't fallen asleep in over 24 hours.)
