whatireallywant -- forgive me... but I must be blunt.:wink:

I know several people who have had liposuction. Sadly, most (if not all) of them are now just as big (or bigger) as when they started. It didn't solve ANYTHING.

So I would not recommend liposuction for anyone other than HIV people with fat abnormalities, and normal-weight men/women with isolated fat deposits that do not respond to dieting/exercise.

Basically, you can't eat the "standard American diet" and hope for a different body shape. You are genetically predisposed to store fat in the middle, around the internal organs AND around the waist. And that "apple" shape is a fairly reliable predictor of existing or potential heart disease.

If you want to look different, you can forget about eating "normally". And only you can decide which you like better -- the taste of pizza, hamburgers, cookies and coke, or the feeling of looking good.

I have never eaten an "American diet" and I never will.

If you are serious about changing your shape, check out Rice Diet Program and/or buy the book, The Rice Diet.

I do a modified, higher-fat (and brown rice only) version of that diet. And because I eat only good food, I have the arteries/blood panel of a teenager, and I can drink all the beer I want and indulge in French fries when the mood strikes me. I also exercise (push ups, weights, crunches, etc.) 4 - 5 times a week, INTENSELY, but for only 20-30 minutes at a time.

Soooo.... don't look for a "magic bullet". Stop eating an American diet and start using weights for exercise.

I watched a program called diet doctors the other day, as an experiment they asked a female champion boxer who was very fit, and ate well to eat junk food just for a fortnight and take no exercise (she did the normal amount of walking and housework just nothing that was specifically 'exercise') in just a fortnight she'd put three inches on her hips.

Yeah...I've been told that I need to work on my confidence. I'm trying. I was at a party tonight and yeah, I'm still shy, but I got into a pretty good conversation toward the end of the party.

As for the lipo, I actually want that for comfort reasons. I have to get down to around 105 lbs. in order to have a flat stomach, but I'd look too skinny everywhere else if I did that. I remember what it was like back then, and my clothes felt better, didn't pinch me, etc. So it isn't just for looks (although it'd help). I'd decided not to get a boob job at all, after hearing about all the problems and all. I read once that if you get plastic boobs you attract plastic men! :biggrin1: (Of course, at one time I would have taken the plastic men! Hey, any male attention is better than none!) I sometimes hear women complain about construction workers giving them wolf whistles when they walk by. I always get ignored, and would love to have them make wolf whistles at me! It's like, why are you complaining about being seen as attractive? That's weird to me, I guess. But I suppose I got negative attention for too long growing up (being barked at when I walked down the hall at school, etc.) I'm happier now, believe it or not, although I still have confidence issues and I know this.

I was talking to a woman tonight who has had 4 dates in the past week. (and no, she isn't what I consider the "perfect female body type") Me, if you want to add the last four guys I dated together, you'd have to count back to 1999 or something! (it's not as bad as it sounds - one of these guys has been a long term open relationship) I have not had anyone here since I moved to San Antonio express any interest in dating me (and I moved here in March 2006), but I'm sure the shyness is a big part of that, too. I'm working on that, but it's a long, slow process. I go to parties and stuff, but I know that I am more comfortable in specific activity oriented groups rather than at a party. I can sometimes join in the conversation at a party, but often I'm just standing off to the side by myself, and no one is talking to me. I can't just open up a conversation - I have no idea what to say.

I'm being honest here, I think you'd look ill if you weighed 105lbs, when we're younger we weigh less but as we get older we put on a little weight naturally but we carry it more easily. I was 98 or so pounds until my late 30's, if I weighed what I weighed now then I'd have considered myself too heavy but as we get older we seem to handle a little weight gain better plus the extra weight stretches out the wrinkles :) Instead of worrying about weight as an actual figure just try to work on firming up what you have, walk everywhere instead of driving, take the stairs instead of the lift, get a step counter and work out how many steps a day you take and aim to double that, make small manageable improvements that will take effect slowly but surely. Don't diet but rethink your food, a good way to think of it is a bad diet is beige coloured a good diet is like a rainbow, all those different fruits and vegetables in it look so appetising. The trouble with dieting is it always comes to an end, and then back on goes the weight.

Oh, I know I'd look ill if I weighed 105 lbs. again! I was much, much younger back then! I am also big boned, so I carry weight actually better than a lot of women with smaller bones. I have no desire to look like a stick! I want to look like an hourglass - that's my problem!

I like to exercise but have trouble with motivation sometimes, especially when I'm alone (prefer to exercise in a group, like with team sports or going hiking with a group of people or something like that). I did order some striptease workout DVDs! Have some sexy fun and get exercise at the same time! :smile: Of course it'd be more fun that way if I had an appreciative audience for my, er, "workout"! :tongue:

Also, when I get down on myself I just have to go out and see the women around me. Although yes, there are a couple of women of my ideal type around. The vast majority are not, though. At this party tonight there was one woman of my ideal type there (although she's shorter than I'd like to be), and the rest were not. When I get around a group of ordinary people, I actually compare pretty favorably.

I'm concerned about you. I'm not usually mean or insistent, but if you want to change your shape, at least read my post and the link that I gave you.

Liposuction isn't a cure, and you currently have a health-dangerous body shape WHICH YOU CAN CHANGE.

Super models do nothing for me ... give me a regular girl with curves.
That super skinny sit is a turn off

I believe there are those who are admirers of the supermodels, those who like the curvier types, those who desire the more real type and those who crave the larger BBW types. What is all boils down to, in my very humble opinion, is how you carry yourself.

As I have stated in another thread, my day time image is conservative. I take pride in how prepare myself for the day, from head to toe. When I walk out the door I make sure that I am dressed appropriately for the day ahead. If I am in executive meetings for the day, I dress the part. I am in a suit and/or stick with neutral colors. My persona is that of an executive. If I know that there is a chance of some media, I make sure that I am not too polished/harsh looking as I don't want to be percieved as different from the audience (i live in rural america) but definately a professional image. My persona, warm and inviting. On days that I don't have to 'dress' I am more business casual with a flirty/romantic flair. Any one of those images/persona brings respect and attention. Perhaps because of my height? My natural beauty? (said with tongue in cheek). Is it my chest size? Maybe, who knows. But what is important to understand, when I am tired and I just need a break from being 'on' I go out with the girls to a little dive bar. I wash my face, undo my hair, slip on old jeans, flip flops, a tank and a very loose light jacket and slip into even the center of the bar and bring no attention to myself. Its how you carry yourself and knowing what you have to offer that makes the men (worthwhile ones) drool.

I don't like extremes at either end of the spectrum, however there does seem to be some political correctness issue in saying you prefer thin or slim women, very few men on the net will come out and say they prefer a slim woman, they'll happily say they prefer bigger women however this isn't borne out in real life, go in any night club and it's the slimmer women who are the most pursued. Women come in all shapes and sizes, they can all be attractive but why do thinner women get such a bad press?
Well while there are certainly exceptions to the extant that concurrence would be in the main I would say most of the females I thought of as notably attractive might be deemed to be on the the more svelte side.
The prevalence of their portrayal would appear to speak either to a popular interest or a skewed if not missed allure.

I'm not understanding your point. There are lovers of different types, but it all boils down to? Sure, how one carries themself counts. Many different factors count towards attraction, but all that is really beside the point of the thread. Just like when someone asks if bigger is better for vaginal stimulus, but then some responders to the thread begin posting about other factors (usually factors of the relationship type) as if that removes size stimulus from the equation, or as if that answers the question.

Exactly. I am not going to attract the attention of a man who likes shorter women and/or less curvy regardless of how I am put together that day.

Neither will I attract the attention of a man who likes my type if I am not feeling confident in how I am looking that day and/or take extra effort to put myself together.

OTOH, I am still the same woman height and curves wise when I go to a dive bar to unwind, but if I have an attitude that I want to be left alone and I'm not dressing for the occassion. I could be a man's dream woman and I could walk right by him and he wouldn't notice.

If a woman walks by shaped like Serena Williams, I notice. I can agree though that clothing does have an affect. I might not could ascertain the body build as well in very loose clothing. Though in her case that booty is going to be obvious in just about anything. Whether she wants to be left alone does not play a role in my noticing curves.
