If you don't mind this coming from another woman, both of you girls are very beautiful.
I'm not exactly a skinny waifish lass myself (size 12-14/36D), but I have to say, confidence and happiness with your own body is
everything. I used to be a lot skinnier but put on some weight after a major breast reduction. You'd think smaller boobs + more weight = less attraction, but I've not found that true at all. And almost all of my partners have been smaller than I am.
When you are comfortable with yourself, it really shows. Sure there are shallow, appearance-focused people, as well as those with just a preference for thin girls . . nothing wrong with that. But there are just as many men who love softer bodies with rounded bellies and hips and thighs. Attractive, intelligent men who will let you know just how much they appreciate you.
My boyfriend is the hottest man I've dated, and funnily enough . . he thinks I'm gorgeous too. He's 5'9 and about 155 lbs, size 29 jeans and nicely built (and well-sized cock, but that's just a nice extra!), incredibly intelligent, great personality, and just plain
nice. He constantly tells me how much he loves my body (and mind! :wink

. Those guys are out there, and don't settle for anyone less than someone who appreciates you for who you are.
Love yourself, love your body, love all the things you have to offer . . and other people's admiration will follow. Confidence and happiness on a chunky girl (which honestly, both of you look like real women of normal size, to me) is a thousand times more attractive than a girl who has modified her body and style to fit mainstream tastes and bases her esteem on what she believes other people think of her. Doesn't mean you can't work towards losing weight if you wanted, but don't do it for anyone else. As long as you are healthy, be proud of what you have, and enjoy yourselves!
The whole average size vs. unreal expectations has backfired for skinny girls as well. My sister, who is naturally a size 0 (she eats like a horse), gets more negative attention than I do. She couldn't put on weight unless she locked herself in a closet and stuffed her face with twinkies for a week straight, but people assume she's starving herself and she feels embarrassed she's so thin. Case in point: you can never make everyone happy; some people will always find something negative to bitch about that is none of their business . . and unfortunately, they are usually the ones that get heard :tongue:
