Hehe, we are so incredibly dorky.

Oh facebook profile pictures. Mine right now is a picture of Eevee from pokemon. xD

Who's dorky? Not me!

I signed off Facebook for a little while. Trying to keep up with iSketch.

Mine is actually a picture of me right now. Usually it is a picture of my girls (dogs).

I usually avoid having a picture of myself. I hate pictures of myself, particularly if it is of just me. ^_^:

I like pictures of my face, but not usually full body photos.

Oh sorry haven't checked out your photos yet Jen...too distracted by facebook games...I haven't checked for the past couple of days and I was inundated with invites and gifts. I ended up deleting some of the games I haven't touched in awhile. :P

Nope, I don't like any pictures of myself really. It's mostly cause I don't have much of the good self esteem. ^_^;

I like full-body pictures better. People can see me better and I can see them better.

I understand that, Izumi. Games get away with me.

Awww, Dae! *hugs*

now see that's the whole trick of it you will always be beautiful if you think you are beautiful

Exactly!

steelmagghia: Hm, it's ok. I'm working on it.

Saiyana2: If only it were that easy. It's much harder to change the state of mind than I think some people tend to realize. ^_^:

Oh no, Dae. I totally understand. I've been overweight nearly my entire life. Nothing makes keeping a positive attitude about yourself like being the fat kid.

I know what it is like to be overweight myself. It's hard when people tell you that you look beautiful, but they just can't seem to understand that you won't ever feel beautiful until YOU think you are beautiful. What's more annoying is that when I was overweight, they told me I looked fine and that nobody was judging me. But when I lost a lot of weight, they couldn't stop "oooing" and "awwwing" over my new slender figure.

...? I actually felt kind of hurt. Is that odd for me to feel that way?

Not sure Jen...I'm just glad hubby says I'm sexy even with the extra pounds. I would be devastated to be in a relationship with a guy who is so shallow they would actually consider breaking up over something like that. You hear about those kinda stories though.

well techinically I am not overweight for my height but I have very small frame so I could still stand to lose about 24 lbs

I don't think it's odd to feel hurt, Jenn. I'm actually about 100 pounds overweight according to my "ideal" weight. I much prefer myself at a nice, slightly plump figure I'd like to lose about 50 pounds. I think that would be perfect.

Blah, Weight loss...
I have no self control. ; A ;
Lucky for me, I'm okay with my weight.

Izumi - your husband sounds like a great guy. You two look so cute in those photographs on your Facebook! =3

It was always hard going to family reunions, Thanksgiving gatherings and other stuff because I felt so ugly. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. But it seems like everyone in my family is really tiny. Most of the females are size 0-2 pants. I used to fit in a size 14, but now fit in a size 7/8 I don't like being terribly slender, because I like not being able to see my bones, lol.

Yeah, I really should try and lose a few pounds. I'm unhealthy more for things then just my weight. Mostly, I really should exercise some more.

And it's really hard when you've been insecure for a long time. ^_^;

Awww thank you, Jen! :heart:

I love him to bits, and I don't think I could of found a better man. :3

It's hard to get up and exercise when you don't have a workout buddy. That's probably the best type of motivation to help you reach your goal of losing weight or just getting healthy in general.

Izumi - how did you meet your husband? :) I didn't realize your last name. I kind of chuckled when I noticed your husbands name. XD

*hugs everyone*
Well, for what it's worth, you are all beautiful people inside, at least! I don't know what all of you look like on the outside, but I'm sure it must match.
