I’m curvy and I like it

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I did my second to last circuit last night - definitely am needing to step up the weights. I am happy to say though that now I can do four push ups on my toes before having to go to my knees to complete the set. When I started I couldn’t even do ONE push up! So that’s a huge NSV for me. I hope by the end of the 12 weeks I can do at least 10-12 push ups.

I have a friend who is having a boob job tomorrow. I went with her to the pre-op appointment to give her feedback on which size she should go with. I’m biased against larger chests having lived with one my entire life, and she wanted it to be tasteful and non-Dolly Parton-like, so I think she figured I would be a good resource. The size she picked out looks pretty natural and now that I’ve seen it, I agree it makes her look proportionate to the rest of her body. It got me thinking about my own body - my bras are starting to get loose again which surprises me, but hey I’m not going to complain. I’m down to a 34″ chest (unsure about the cup size now) - when I started, I was a 42! Of course there are things that I still want to change - I’ve got a lot of some baggage on my hips, and a fluffy tummy and a pooch that could probably double as a fanny pack, but over all, when I step out of the shower and catch a glimpse of myself in the nude, I’m really liking what I’m seeing. I’m curvy, and not in the “curvy’s a polite way of saying fat” way. I’m starting to really appreciate the body I have - not sure I’ll ever have a washboard stomach or even the coveted runner’s legs. I’m an endomorph and will probably always carry some fat on me. But holy smokes am I happy what exercise has done to my body. I can see the natural shape that I was meant to be - curvy. I have hips! I have boobs! And according to my husband last night while we were, ahem, spending some “quality” time together, curvy is apparently a very good thing. ;)

Congrats on the pushups! I know that is one thing I have to work on….. And I think you’re right about curvy, it is a good thing, and it is even better that you like how your body is! That is something that some people can never do!

haha! yes, contrary to most woman’s popular belief, most men DO NOT dig skinny, bony chicks. They like us to look like woman….not skinny boobless, hipless guys! haha

My SIL had a boob job. She went from a B to a C…so not much, but I tell ya, it doesn’t look right. Her boobs are just way too high for someone in their mid 40s’, and way too perky, although it may have more to do with the surgeon who does it, than the actual size. Lord, like you, I have spent most of my life wishing I had much less boobs to deal with…but I guess in the end, they are probably one of my better features. :) its a love/hate relationship! haha

Aw. It’s really nice to hear how you appreciate your body for once, you normally just find flaws with it! I like this veriosn better. You should stick to it :)

I do not have a large chest (Currently C cup, B cup when I’m skinny) - however I have VERY braod shoulders, so I encounter similar problems (button down shirts = NO NO!!) but I don’t have an cleavage to show for it!

LOL I didn’t realize I was so negative when I talk about myself! I will try to be more positive now, ladies. ;)

Anna, I can’t leave comments at your new blog. It goes to the spam verification, but it won’t move beyond that. I’ve tried three times. :(
