I wasn't assuming anything hence the two options.

I need the city...being so far away from my people is draining me. I only go out...once every two weeks, lately, because of the distance to town...

It's beautiful, yes, but I need regular socialization, ya know?

Roundish. Not very tall nor short (5'10"). Not very heavy but definitely not slim. Not bulging with muscles but beefy.

So this summer I did a 180 and I learned to love my look. I already love what I'm working with on the inside.

I liked a guy who looked like a mixture of Phil Spector and Napoleon Dynamite. He's a Leo. I thought he had a gorgeous personality. That's what I fell for, but he ended up being a douche.

That is awesome! It takes courage to love yourself just as you are. And then to feel free to express yourself just as you want to. Taken me years! And I still struggle with it. I think my Saturn returns have helped this develop. Also think having Sun square neptune (I have major health issues) has helped me embrace myself more completely. Discovering what makes you feel strong, sexy, happy, spiritually grounded and confident despite lifes conflicts is such a gift! You have to move past caring what anyone else thinks.

I'm 5'8" and I WISH I weighed 172! I gained about 10 pounds after visiting California and binging on Indian food and Cold Stone!

I think the best advice I can give to anyone is...love yourself. No matter how you look, cause at the end of the day you came into this world alone and you're leaving this world alone. Don't let other people think for you. Don't let others tell you what looks good on you. Just be you and love yourself. Confidence is the most attractive thing a person can have because it radiates out of that person and everyone in the room can feel it. If you don't love yourself why should others?[/B][/QUOTE]

Well said Janah! I have taurus ascendant. I am def Venus influenced - very curvy. I have to dress conservatively, like wear turtlenecks! I was soooo self conscious about this when young. I grew up in the era of waifs like Kate Moss (Who I think is gorgeous but was useless for me to try to look like her!!). I used to wear clothes that were two sizes too large to hide my body shape. I hated my body for so long & wanted to be like Kate M. I exercised religiously & was bulimic in my teens & very slim but still never was straight like a waif!! I could not appreciate my body until after marriage & having three children, I am now very comfortable & happy with the way I look. I still have to exercise tons - at least an hour 5-6 days per week, cos I love to eat (taurus asc is culprit!). Funnily enough, now I am almost 40 - this body shape is coming back into fashion (wish that had been the case when I was in my teens!!) My teenage nephew told me recently his friends all think I'm hot (I am their mother's age mind you) & that I remind them of Sofia Vergara from Modern Families - slightly gross, but flattering!

Im 5'8 and range from 155-172. Above 167 puts me in the obese category actually. And 172 is my current weight. Oh and I live with Lupus, hypothyrodism, am a wife, mommy,and full time academic counselor who works with at risk youth and have no qualms about who I am. But I do hope you watch your tongue for others on here may be insulted by your original post. However clearly you have strong feelings, so I hope you at least felt better after expressing them.

Like I said, it was an observation and not a personal attack on anyone. It's like how duck faces are ridiculous. People say that flat out without anyone whining about it and listing all the medical reasons for having a duck face.

Btw, to clear things up. I am NOT thin! I'm not even hourglass curvy. I'm probably more toward the thick stump I was talking about. I'm average except I think I keep it real. So I'm not against anyone's weight, thin or not. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm just annoyed by fake people, who seem to beg, plead for attention. I hate fake gestures. Is it OK to be not so politically correct and call a duck a duck? I mean come on. If you didn't care what I had to say, you obviously wouldn't be posting anything about the comment. I just dislike how people try to play it off that they are naturally this or naturally that when they aren't.
Why do people do that? My only conclusion is either a person needs a lot of attention, there fore probably low self esteem or they aren't very mature and think that's attractive.

Like her in the video, why does she get so offended when a guy stares when that's what she's presenting? It's ridiculous.

Lastly, did I say anything about you? Did I spell your sn out and say, "Hmmm that girl. Yes that one right there." Chill out.
