yup. total bullcrap. I can walk in different stores and “be” different sizes. I’ve learned to love those that have more “flattering” numbers for me.lol.

I have no clue what I was trying to say, I just got done choking on a chicken bone.
Oy, clothe sizes…I’m a 14/16…and I would like to get down to a 10. Right now I’m between sizes (12s are too small, 14s are too big) so I have to wear a size 14 with a belt. I also know it’s mostly my diet…which…ugh…whatever.
Deb, I think a size 4 would be tiny for you. 6-8 sounds healthy to me. Anything below that seems…anorexic or something. Why does everyone want to be a size 2?
Hi, btw!!!
never have and will never be a size 2! too much junk in the trunk for that.
So i hear my buddy Vic placed in his show tonight! He’s still retiring though. 46, gone as far as he could. Says he can feel the toll its taking on him now…quit while your ahead!
yeah for Vic!
my kills so far tonight: 3 mojitos and 3 glasses of champagne.
Life is good.
I’m 5’2" (practically). I was a 14/16 so a 6/8 is a pretty good improvement. I agree with everything you all said. The thing that hits home the most is to be strong I probably can’t go much smaller. I think I’m just having some weird brain fuck going on. I had a really fun day today.
I won an in house competition on front register to sell the most milkshakes. I sold 60, about 20 more than second place. Free chick-fil-a for a week is my prize! WOOHOO
Congrats byu. You must be quite the salesman.
21 seconds!?!

This is my secret script
(group of 4 17 years old girls come up)
(I am at the counter, I don’t put in their order as they talk)
Friend 1: I’d like a salad and a glass of water
Friend 2: I’ll just have a sandwich, cut it in half
Friend 3: can I just have a side of fries?
Friend 4:Hm… I think I’ll… Oh wait you have a new milshake? I’ll have that!!
Friends 123 in synch: “We’ll have one two, forget our orders”
Me: (Already put in four milkshakes, in the process of making them) “That will be $XX.XX”
Yeah, it happened like five times. Always the same way. I already know you’re all going to get milkshakes, I might as well tell you you’re getting them. The other times I always just suggested milkshakes, and people, well, let’s face it, they like milkshakes. I make them good too, not too thick, not too liquidy.

I do custom orders too- if they want it easily drunk through a straw, or if they want it so thick they have to have a spoon. I’m a milkshake master!
Milkshake are totally awesome. One of my favorite things.

Where in Washington are you? I have a feeling I’ve asked you before, but I’ve forgotten.
And yes, milkshakes are awesome. I made one at the end of my shift and tossed in two scoops of protein, so it’s healthy.
AttyDeb, I would very much like to see you on the Vixen thread. Same with Pch. Same with Greeny. I don’t think I’m alone on this one either.
Good evening, all. 16 days til I’m on my way to DC!
deb I wouldn’t worry about the dress sizes. They’re all over the place! But I know what you’re describing and I think at least for me, that comes from the pre-occupation with my body that goes with training a lot, tweaking the diet and taking your goals seriously. Before I worked out, I had other obsessions and I barely noticed what my body was doing or what it looked like. I suspect most people who regularly visit this forum have some form of dysmorphia, but I don’t think it needs to considered a mental dysfunction until it’s affecting how you value yourself.
It’s a challenge but I think a healthy exercise to attempt to remove the value judgments from your body and think of it more as you would anything else you are working on as a hobby instead of viewing it a reflection of your self-worth. For example, if you were learning how to paint, and your paintings weren’t coming out as you expected, you wouldn’t think you were less of a person, but you might be a harsh critic of your work and you also might examine it and notice the area on the top left of the piece has a really luscious quality and the shadow is just perfect and you want more of that and then you paint some more. But you wouldn’t take it personally or feel hurt because it really doesn’t say anything other than you’re learning to paint. It’s not who you are. Once you can remove the value judgment, you can be much more objective about it.
I think as women, because so much emphasis is put on our looks and our bodies, it becomes really tricky to have a clear, honest, positive view. It’s so common for women to feel like a fatty and that feeling is more than just carrying fat, but feeling unattractive, unworthy and all sorts of other stuff that has nothing at all to do with thighs and bodyfat! It’s hard too coming from being fatter because there is a whole big pile of baggage that comes from that.
Sorry for the rambling! Those are just some thoughts I’ve had on the whole self-image thing since I’ve been lifting.
