Mr J, and I spent a couple of days out in the archipellago, the weather was wonderful and of course we went skinny-dipping since we were alone on that island. The cliffs were slippery and I had trouble getting back up and had to swim away a bit to try another place where I could get up. Mr J has a new digital camera with a great zoom and he used it to take a couple of pictures of me during my struggle. In one of them I look pretty much like the woman in this painting by Anders Zorn although I'm not helping a child, but trying to get back up on the cliffs:  I was actually quite surprised by the look of myself.

 ) build is![rant]As for those "height/weight norm" charts, they are utter bullsh!t and they are changed arbitrarily as well; case in point: When I was in your age and weighed 155 lbs, the then-current height/weight chart listed me as "grossly underweight and said that I should weigh 220 lbs. Now, twenty-some-odd years later when I weigh 230 lbs, the current height/weight charts say that I am grossly overweight and that I should weigh 170 lbs. Those charts don't take into consideration one's muscle mass or body type, and I repeat, They Are Utter Bullsh!t!.[/rant] Quote:

When I look at old pictures of myself, I look rather thin. Which is quite funny, because as far as I can remember, I didn't think of myself as thin back then -- in fact, I'm pretty sure I was self-conscious of my weight. It's all relative, I guess.
Oh well. Now I'm soft and squishy and don't really care all that much. At least this way, I don't need to worry about a metabolism collapse.

I'm not administering to someone else's idea of what is perfect. I don't want to be just thin, I want to replace the fat with muscle, if possible. But for that, first I have to lose some fat, which means losing a bit of weight. Once I start building muscle, I will weigh more, because muscle weighs more than fat. My sister is smaller than me and weighs more than me, because she has more muscle. Also, while I despise all those people who worship their body and think thin is the way to go, I do want to lose a bit fat. I really want to fit in that dress. I don't have to lose much. It's really only my butt that is in the way, and only a few centimetres. I just noticed I exaggerated a bit when I said I have to lose 10 kilos. I really only have to lose about 5 kilos of weight, approximately. Also, I've never seen any of those charts. In any case, I really want to lose those kilos and that fat. You see, for some time I haven't done enough for sport, and thus gained weight. I want to get back to my old weight, no more, no less. I used to be thinner, though I never was a stick in the landscape. I was completely normal child, with normal weight, and I just want to have a *normal* weight, and one that fits in that damn dress. Don't worry, I don't care about what people think is beautiful. I think beauty has nothing to do with weight (like that painting that Jelensie posted. I think it is beautiful. Though those really abnormally fat people, that basically can't leave their bed any longer because they're just too fat, scare me.  Likewise, looking like a walking skeleton is not really beautiful. ). I was never thin, but I was never really fat, either. I'm still medium, and I just want to lose those unnecessary fat cushions, and still remain a medium. -

Also, Hammy, you're not going to impress the girl you like if you don't like yourself. Speaking from my own experiences and those of other people I know, when you're in a relationship with someone, the self-loathing thing gets really, really old after awhile, and there's a limit to how long most people are willing to deal with it.
