The word "smaller" is a relative term and is used to compare two items or people.

I take it from you post that you used to be a size 16-18 and now you are a 12. Right?

Although many might disagree, I call myself fat, because I can always lose some weight, which fluctuates. The last time I was at the "recommended" weight (which is pushed by insurance companies) people who knew me thought I was sick. Depending on the time of year, etc., I average about 10 to 20 pounds overweight all the time .. with the high range during the winter months when I typically stay less active.

I don't like to tell people they are "fat" ... but prefer to say you are "over weight" or "let's be honest, you can lose some weight."

But being "average" in this country should not be a goal, regardless of the topic. Maybe the last word ... you are relatively new on this board, but as a word of caution, asking questions about "weight" on here is not something for the insecure to do ... there are some gentlemen on here who are brutally honest in their responses.

You're still a BBW.

I think average is size is between 5 and 9. But I dont think it should matter what size you are. Guys will like what they like. Some guys are ONLY into BBW, Some are ONLY into spinner type...To answer your question, it is what it is.

12 in mens shoes maybe. You are still a BBW hun

If you wear plus sizes and shop for clothes at Lane Bryant, you are a BBW, regardless of weight or how much you have lost. Upper end of regular sizes ( 12-14) is BBW unless you are 6 ft. tall.

Curvy it used to be used to define an attractive, healthy woman's figure, which was an hourglass shape and good shoulders, now it is used to describe a BBW. BBW wrongly use the word 'curvy' to try and make fat gals feel better about not being called fat.

No matter what size you are or how you look there will be some people who don't like it. You can't please all the people all the time.

Technically a woman can be a size 12 and not be a BBW, but she has to be assembled like Christina Hendrix to pull it off.

You look more "big boned" than BBW in my honest opinion. However, posting an ad in the "review" section (now moved to the "Welcome" area by 3 MODs -that in itself speaks volumes that it took 3) and your current behaviors (innocent albeit) is going to land you directly in touch with the likes of a Wakeup and The Prophet(DH). THAT will NOT end well for you. TRUST IN ME! My advice is to sit back quietly, watch the board, read a ton (may want to start with the one titled "Whale Wars") and then go about your business quietly making gobs of money!

Also, Trey hasn't chimed in yet. I hope you're not the sensitive type.


But then again, what the fuck do I know

I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to start threads concerning your weight. In fact, I'm sure it's not a good idea.

However, congratulations on the weight lose and hopefully you can keep it up!
