    Amazingly, my dairy milk and sofa diet and lifestyle plan is not shifting the weight as quickly as I thought... or at all :rotfl:.

    Code, I'm not a 70s 12 any more! And since being so inactive for the last few months, I'm not even a modern size 12 any more!
    . :(

    And I'm definitely not a size 8 anymore! I remember when I was I was miserable with my size a lot of the time as I was always being judged. People thought it was ok to make comments about my size and make out I had an ED. I didn't, but at didn't stop people making judgements. :( I used to be envious of my friends who were larger as they had womanly curves.

    The weight I am now, I'd settle for a happy medium and be the size in between what I was then and what I am now. Just goes to show that us women are never happy (in general) with our figures, but that also, we judge ourselves way too harshly.

    right measured
    Waist is 26"
    Upper arm just under 10"

    Bit worried

    How tall are you? I have a 26 inch waist, size 6/8 !!!! but am a shortarse and being on the underweight side of the BMI indexes is normal for me. Depends on what's usual for you?

    Eta despite this I have a size 10 jacket from years ago that I can't get over one arm anymore. Sizing really doesn't mean a thing any more it's so variable over time and between shops.

    Its like the middle of the night out there.

    Raining and grey. Will have to put some lights on soon as its so dark outside.

    I have been overweight most of my life. Its seems when I got 11 or 12 that was it. The problem is that I have huge boobs 36E and big belly. If I could get rid of the belly I would happy with big boobs, bum and thighs.

    I was chatting to my husband yesterday and he said if I was not gorgeous he would not have married me. He did always make me feel special no matter how big I got.

    But I do need to do something about it as I am at least 3 stone over weight :eek: and I am a shorty at 5ft 4!!!

    Yours

    I now have anaesthetic throat spray and it still hurts.

    But I am enjoying your chatting. I think I am twins, judging by the waist measurements.

    Just channel flicked onto itv+1 by mistake and Loose Women was on with Wet Wet Wet. I used to love them, especially Marti Pellow! He's still got it even now! :happyhear: Am tempted to go and see them on tour!

    I used to love Wet Wet Wet too, growing up we had their cassettes in our car so I knew a lot of their songs off by heart! I'd love to go to see them live but I daren't admit it to anyone!! :rotfl:

    With the size/shapes discussion, I've never been skinny but would love to have bigger boobs and have that lovely sexy hourglass shape. I can't even find a bra that happily fits my sad, flat chest.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    LOL!!!!

    Do you know what that is spooky someone said that to me a couple of days ago. Why are you not together.

    He fell out of love with me and I turned in to horrible person with everything that happened.

    We get on better as best friends then anything else.

    I do care about him deeply. And even though we are separated I still feel that he is part of my life. And always will be. As it was circumstances beyond our control that ruined it.

    Yours

    I've always thought I wouldn't mind the large hips if I had the large bust to go with it! Am a flipping triangle :rotfl:.

    V dark here too calley - been grey and raining all day. Have awarded myself a week of evenings off. Am usually out 3 or 4 evening a week, but it's quieter this week as it's half term. Was feeling guilty about not making the most of the free time by going to the gym or walking but then thought why stress about it? It's cold and dark, I'm so stressed I might burst - nothing wrong with some pj and DVD evenings.

    Am meeting my guiding mentor tomorrow evening and I've just realised how little I've achieved since I last saw her. Oh well, sure I'm not the only one that takes ages.

    ETA: Birdie! We really are shape twins!
