MMMMM bed. I'm asleep at my desk. God I hope this day goes fast.

Good luck on a quick day.

As for being a 'big girl', eh, beauty knows no shape or size. Sure, the media can parade around their version all day, but it is seldom reality in either what women look like in general or what most men are looking for. It is also not always healthy. So you are taller than the others? Awesome. As Chris said, you stand out. You are not as graceful? That is arguable as we have seen you dance (you were not the one falling on your butt ) and heck, you can always make up in power and strength what the willowly types have in grace.

My exwife was 6' tall. She got all kinds of notice. She was a big girl. No two ways about it, but heck, it didn't stop her from being the center of attention.

I slept great until last night. My allergies were horrible last night so I'm going to get my flonase refilled. I think I slept maybe 2-3 hours. I'm not working tonight, so after I get that filled, I will go back to bed.

my allergies improved especially at night when I got an air filter for the house.. have you tried this?

[athomeontherange]

well I guess I am a short big girl at 5'5.5" LOL

I get noticed in a room though because of my hair.. can not say I enjoy the attention though.. I would happily share that!!

OMG, I have spent my life trying to get (positive) attention. Love being the center of it all!

I always thought of myself as a big girl. Then this week my daughter was scavenging in my closet and I still have skirts that I wore when DH and I were first together. So she stole a couple as they are long and in style again. Now let me tell you she has what can only be considered a perfectly proportioned body, and the waist band of the skirts are tight on her. She weighs almost 20 pounds less than I did and is about the same height. Her response, obviously your boobs were bigger!

I have broad shoulders, wide hips, I'm busty and I have thick thighs. No matter what I do (ever) I won't be one of those little girls. Think Serena Williams when you picture me (only with 200 lbs on the frame and white skin lol). I have very muscular thighs (my husband loves them) and what I call "linebacker" shoulders. I'm German, through and through. I hated my shoulders at my wedding and kept the veil pulled over them to conceal their broadness. Lucky for me, the broad shoulders and broad hips will produce a nice hourglass once the excess fat in the middle is gone. I'm with you on the femininity thing - it's hard to feel feminine when you look like a football player!

(feminine... does that word look funny to anyone else? femininity is even harder... too many "in"s in there or something...)

I have broad shoulders..snipped...

See this is an awesome look (as is everything else you described). I love a woman with a great set of shoulders. A friend once said to me (after I described what I would like a woman to look like), "So you want her to look like she could kill a deer, toss it up on her shoulders and carry it 5 miles back home?" Yeah, pretty much.

As a wise man once said, "If a man wanted a bone he'd get dates at the cemetary" Nothing wrong with being a healthy 'big' woman.

My HS bully used to call me "Football Player". I still have very strong negative feelings about that guy and the way he made me feel. So stupid after so many years.

RE: The belly dancing ladies - I also have to admit that I am much stronger than they are. I lift weights and it shows. My torso is proportionate to my lower body and I will have the classic hourglass measurements when I reach goal. Then the men will be dropping at my feet, if I so desire. That husband of mine better watch out.

In that case can I take my number now so I am first in line?

I would be interested in doing this! hahahaha

I always wanted to be petite and willowy. It's what was always displayed on tv and in magazines. Now, though, I'm noticing a shift toward "strong" being sexy (of course, it is, but now the media is catching on).

Looking back at my figure when I was "skinny", a size 7 was my size b/c my hips and thighs. I don't think I'd ever be able to go smaller without looking sickly, which is ok by me. I'd like to go back to what I looked like post Basic Training. I was strong, I wore a size 7, and I felt like a badass!!
