Guzzi Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Aww mate! I'm so sorry to hear that, I really am. You have my heartfelt condolences. I noticed that you'd gone awol, I think the last time I spoke to you, you were about to go on holiday. Was it Crete, or Rhodes...?Yes, there is a boyfriend. And he has a beard! Yay for beards!!!! The move to Shetland hasn't quite turned out the way I'd planned. Things went a bit tits-up with my health, seems something has gone "oopsy!" in my pelvis. I'm munching tramadol like they're smarties whist hobbling around like Quasimodo with a carrot up his arse, and a face like I'm chewing a wasp. So all in all I'm a complete frigging delight to be around, lol!Poor Colin (the bf) he met me at the peak of my recovery when everything was going great and WHAM! got landed with a cripple. And it's to late!!!! He's stuck with meeeeeeee! Mawhahahaha! 3 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Thrillho Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 So that's me in the back. I gained back a bunch of pre-Ellismania weight, but I don't think I look TOO ridiculous.

No wonder I couldn't remember which one it was, lol! Why the move? Oldest story in the book, boy meets girl, boy lives in the back of beyond.... It's cool, I really like it. I thought I was in the sticks before but this place takes it to a whole new level, it's awesome! I originally came up thinking I was going to get a job as a Tourism Development Officer for a charity on Unst, (I was invited to apply for the job after I was the "reserve candidate" for a different post with them) but then the health nosedived and I had to pull out. Still, I've got my own wee place here and I'm loving it. It's the Simmer Dim (midsummer) so it doesn't actually get properly dark. You can read a newspaper outside at midnight no probs, and by 2am it's getting bright again. And Holy Cow! If you thought I talked funny, you should hear this lot!

It's not going too hot for me. I won't bring the mood of this thread down. I've posted about it in my Battle Log, though. As for cosplay, nothing since Comic Con last year. Weather was crappy in the fall on the days we went to the Renaissance Faire, so we opted not to get dressed up. However, this years Comic Con is a month away!! Going simple, decided to be a Sim. Just need to figure out how to build the green diamond thing (found a couple videos on youtube). But I want to take it a step further and actually have it rotating above my head. A trip to the craft store and maybe Home Depot will happen this weekend 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars. It's a journey you'll have to take by looking inside yourself.

laughing_dog Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 well.. I don't have great body image. I guess it springs from reading too many comics as a kid. You get this idea that everyone is supposed to be muscular all the time. Funny story though, I want to be, and I have the build to do it, I've just been too lazy with gym and diet. Hence, why I'm here. It hit a low when two years ago my 60 year old dad could out bench me. So I said no more.anyway, here's me aaaaand this is what I feel like 1 Quote Miles run, 17.3/72 24%24% Days with logged fitness 9/43 20.9%20.9% Days without refined sugar 7/43 16.3%16.3% my challenge thread!

Deidara Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I actually can't find pictures of (notable at least) people of my gender + body type, and very few even among non-notables. I don't want to compare myself to women, so none of that's going here. Sad. But I do have pics of myself in a gallery here. Anyway my body image is in an awful place in general, for a few reasons. 1: I gained 40lb in college and my family and doctors never stopped giving me shit about it. I started at 100-105 and started trying to gain weight so I could donate blood (the minimum is 110), and then it just didn't stop. I've internalized a lot of the smaller = better and more attractive narrative and still remember what being tiny was like so that hurts lol. 2: I am so, so curvy. I'm a bottom-heavy hourglass and while a lot of people think of this as a gift, it actually makes me feel awful. Because having extreme womanly curves doesn't sit well with my gender identity. A lot of times I'm sure I think I look bigger than I actually do, or that my brain exaggerates my curves, but I can't really convince myself that it's just in my head.

A lot of times I'm sure I think I look bigger than I actually do, or that my brain exaggerates my curves, but I can't really convince myself that it's just in my head. I can't say from a gender identity standpoint, but instead of thinking curves, every time you see your bottom half, maybe you could start thinking 'powerhouse'- your legs and glutes will help you take down some awesome physical goals in the future. Think of action vs. aesthetic (tell me if I'm being stupid, I sometimes say really really dumb things trying to be helpful!) 1 Quote Spaz Ranger BATTLE LOG You can have results or excuses.

Think of action vs. aesthetic (tell me if I'm being stupid, I sometimes say really really dumb things trying to be helpful!) They might do that, provided it's not mostly fat... my hips + thighs are where I gained most of those 40lbs. Thinking action/function over aesthetic actually helped a lot with certain unmentionables, so maybe it'll help a bit here. Actually a neat suggestion, thank you!

Ahyar Dreamspark Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 So, like, on page 7 I posted this, right. Okay, I've been lurking in here enough, so I should probably post something. On the left: me, now. On the right: picture of the body type I think I have. YAAAAYY GENDER DYSPHORIA X( I couldn't find a pic of a model with the appropriate body type, so I just went with a picture Lestat ;P And yes, I know that Queen of the Damned was a horrible movie. I also tried looking for pics of myself back in the days where I weighed like 180 lbs, but I'm pretty sure those all got deleted long ago, because of reasons. New pic is below. Getting closer!

Didn't everyone by now knows that your cultural background affects big parts of your thinking? Even so it would be interesting to see how someone from D.R. Kongo or Somalia had Photoshopped her.

Polaris Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ugh, body image. How do I even start... I don't have pictures at hand to post, but I'm 5'4" and at most I've weighed 67 kg, so I've never been fat really. That hasn't stopped me from hating every part of my body more or less my whole life, and crying in fitting rooms because the clothes I thought would fit me didn't. I have weird body dysmorphia that goes both ways, I can see myself as either much bigger than I really am, or thinner, though the latter usually passes when I see a photo of myself, which has usually resulted in an unhealthy starvation diet. I've cut about 7 kilos in the past four months and I'm... more satisfied than I was before, but still not enough. Like, I can look at myself and think I look pretty smokin', but it's still not enough. I know I'm insanely demanding of myself, but that doesn't stop me from being unsatisfied. I have this mental image of the perfect version of me that I try to achieve, even though some of those things have already become impossible... In my twisted logic, that's no reason to cut myself any slack. But even the possible things are virtually very hard - for example, I should have perfect skin. I even went off skin makeup for a month to see if my skin would magically improve (it didn't). And because I'm single, I have this horrible fear that I'm not good enough if I happen to meet a person who's good enough for me. That I need to have the perfect face, perfect hair, perfect body to be worthy of that amazing person. It doesn't help that I'm turning 26 and I'm terrified that one day I'll wake up with wrinkles, and there goes my chances. 1 Quote POLARIS - LEVEL 4 AVATAR WARRIOR/MONK (currently visiting assassins) | Challenge Thread "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."
