I know this thread's been empty for a bit, but since this is about the sixth or seventh time I've went to this thread, so it's only fair that I say something. Especially since it takes a lot of courage to put up a picture of yourself in a forum.

Hello ma'am! You look great just as you are, despite whatever weight you had. In men's defense, when a woman mentions her weight as though she thinks it's bad, it's a no-win situation for us. We try to tell her what she wants to hear, so we try to say "Yeah, you were really big then.", but that will make her think you don't approve of her body, and will likely make her cry. Then you think about saying something to make her feel better about herself, just the way she is. But if you do so, and say something along the lines of "It's okay honey, I like big women.", she'll think you think she's a "big" woman, and will cry. And in all truth, if I'm on a date with a woman who obsesses over her weight, and I think I'm heavier than she is, I'll feel like she is subtly trying to tell me she thinks I'm too fat for her. Also, for any ladies, if I'm on a date with you, you pretty much have me, and don't need to try to impress me. If I had a penny for every time I tried to take a girl to a nice restaurant, and she orders the salad instead of something nice from the menu like I worked hard to afford, I'd have an awful lot of pennies.

So to any ladies, don't worry about your body so much. A man's opinion of a woman's figure is just like a woman's opinion of a man's bicep. We don't really care about the exact measurements. We just want it to have the general shape it's supposed to, as well as be adequate to take care of its functions. Thanks again for the pic, you're a babe and a half (not a joke about physical size).

That's kind of you big scare and I am certain Beth the cute thang that she is will agree with me.
I haven't the foggiest idea how to post a pic here ahahaha and Beth hun your adorable.

Thanks Minks. Hehe. Thank you Big Scarey. The reason why I mentioned my weight is because I am signifigantly smaller now than I was in that pic, so I look somewhat different now. That is all. I just don't have any full length pics of me currently.
