Asians have a greater chance of diabetes, cause it runs in my family
too. So I've got that against me and i'm "overweight" so as my mom put it I have a "50 percent chance of making it to age 60" or something like that.. hmph Hell, i'll be happy if I can just make it to 30. Sure I want to lose weight, but I also want to finish school. I want to train and be on the diving team next year and do well. I want to fix my financial situation and learn a lot more at work. I've got a ton of things I want to do, and losing a lot of weight just isn't that important to me right this moment. All my friends say I look fine and I feel fine. I'm happy to be alive and have the things that I have, and to me that's enough. All I need to do now is get financially independent and fine a nice man, and I'll be happy. Kristi |

A load of BS if you ask me My mom once said I should be a size 4. She hasn't said it since, but i've never forgiven her for saying that. Kristi Unless you are 2 ft 6 ins high, she has got it well wrong ;-) Cheers, helen s I have an idea that USA sizes are not the same as UK ones. What would be the bust/waist/hip size for a USA size 4? I think the shoe sizes are different too. Tweed I can fit in some 3/4s, but sometimes have to get a 5/6. Bust - 34 inches (86.36 cm), waist - 23 inches (58.42 cm), hips - 34 inches (86.36 cm). [In figure measurements I prefer inches... 34-23-34 sounds much better than 86.36-58.42-86.36!! ;] I have humongous clown feet (even though I'm only 5'5") and have to get a size 8W - my feet are 10 inches long and 4 inches wide.

I remember once when my folks were in town we went out to dinner. I'm a natural blonde but my eyebrows have always been darker than my hair. I also don't pluck them into non-existence like some women do, I just keep them trimmed in their natural line along the brow. That particular evening I used a clear NO COLOUR eyebrow gel when I put on my makeup. Mom kept staring at me and asking why my eyebrows were so dark. I told her I'd used the gel stuff. Still she stared. "But I don't remember them being so dark." "Well, it makes them look a little darker, I guess, but you know they've always been dark, Mom." A few minutes later, "I just can't get over how dark your eyebrows are!" You get the drift? Apparently the topic for dinner conversation was going to be my eyebrows, come hell or high water! Jill You sound like part of my family. I have several cousins with naturally blonde hair and dark eyebrows. I've always thought it was an unusual and attractive combination. Jo You can sort of see what I mean here, although my hair in this photo is looking more reddish than blonde! Also no makeup but then I rarely wear it when we're working the shows out in the heat... melts right off your face. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...79447333ryOWhN Jill |

So yesterday, I'm on the phone with my parents. I tell them I was going to get a few pairs of shorts appropriate for work. The irony, of course, is that after all this, I went to Kohl's and bought several long skirts; not a single pair of shorts. But they're comfy! -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I've got a ton of things I want to do, and losing a lot of weight just isn't that important to me right this moment. See, this is my problem. I'm into lots of strenuous exercise, and it's awfully difficult to lose fat when you're also trying to at least stay even on your athletic performance. If you eat less, you have less fuel for the workout. I do want to lose weight, but not if it means feeling like I'm dying every time I go for a ride. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I think I just looked at a tag recently that said USA 12 / UK 16. Then again, those numeric sizes seem to mean different things to different manufacturers. In fact, I was trying on shirts, and a medium was just right for one shirt; for another shirt by the *same manufacturer*, it was way too small. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

"Monique Y. Mudama" wrote in message ... I swear this - they are one and the same woman - they speak in indentical terms! Is your mom German? =P Count yourself lucky. Whilst in my mid-twenties, and *slim* I was wearing a short dress. My mother told me not to wear it as... wait for it... remember I'm in my twenties at the time... I was "no spring chicken anymore." Ugh! Mom actually encouraged me to wear bandeaus and other small items when I was a teen; things that *no one* in my age group wore. I thought I was fat back then, but when I look at the pictures ... well, I wasn't. My face from back then is so narrow, it looks like an entirely different person. I don't know how to make it so that comments like this don't hurt. They do hurt. They *know* it hurts. Sadly. It's something some mothers do. On the plus side, my mother having the tact & diplomacy section of her brain being the size of a gnat's testicle, made me acutely aware of just how damaging thoughtless remarks from a parent to a child can be - as a result, she did me a favour, I really make a concerted effort *not* to be like that with Nathan :-) Yeah; I don't have kids, but I try to be very careful about what I say when it comes to esteem-related issues. I'm pondering a new strategy: I might tell my mom that from now on, every time she makes a comment about how fat I am, I'm going to eat a chocolate bar. Maybe that will finally make her think. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
