PB Confessions page

[ErinC]

I confess that, as a woman, I prefer the look of slenderness to the look of muscularity. I even prefer it over "curvy."

I'm not one of those "I don't lift weights because I don't want to bulk up" people either; I lift weights regularly and have done for 20 years and counting. I LOVE lifting weights. I have a good amount of muscle on me. I'm just saying: my dream body would have some soft curves, some muscles and - yes - some bone. Maybe a little clavicle, maybe a bit of hip bone or slightly visible ribs. I'd love to have little toothpickish arms - maybe I could finally squeeze my pipes into a short-sleeve blouse!

AND... when people post videos of strong Crossfit-type women, I look at them and see similarities to my own body - but it's not a body style I covet. AND - even worse! - when people post videos (in horror) of the slender raw vegan video girls or Zuzana from BodyRock, those are the bodies I'd most like to resemble.

I have a touch of Big Girl Syndrome - similar to Little-Man Syndrome but in reverse. At 5'11" carrying a lot of muscle looks less Tight n' Toned and more Large-and-In-Charge.)

By the way, there's no judgement allowed in the confession booth.

Confess your PB sins here.

I feel your pain. This is perhaps why I've avoided (albeit, wrongly) weights all my life. I'm built like a brick shit house with a lot of fat over top. So even with losing the fat, I'm still going to look like a line backer.

Thanks to these German and Italian genetics!

I was just complaining about my massive calves in another thread. Seemingly, I'm doomed to live with them for the rest of my line backer life.

[Roary]

EricC, I'm 5-10 and I totally get it. I'm built to hold muscle, and some of the cute clothes just won't work. Ever. (don't get me started on my massive calves! Ha!) Confession: i feel the same way as you!

[Westly]

I really like the skinny look too.

But, I tend to put on muscle really quickly too, and I don't want to be curvy, I've been 'curvy' all my life (In the obese sense of the word...>.>. The further away from a feminine form I can get the happier I will be.

FtM FtW. No hormones for me, though, just top surgery.

I also confess that I have myself fully convinced that feasting on chicken wings at a pub is perfectly Paleo.

Are they naked?

[ErinC]

Sometimes, not always. And they are more than likely fried in canola, so...
Oh, and then there's the whole matter of the accompanying beer.

Ha- actually, this is how I do it: chicken wings = Primal; beer = part of my 20%.
I love when I can manipulate math in my favour...

Whoa whoa whoa. You're posting Zuzana as an example of a "skinny girl" with "not too much muscle"?

This woman?


She's freaking ripped. Not "skinny" at all. Of course her breasts are obviously fake, but still... she's essentially a body builder.

There is a gastro pub close by that has grilled naked wings served in hot sauce w/o msg/sugar mixed with butter that has 35¢ wing night. Apparently the owner decided that the recipe made for the best wings and wasn't doing it for health consciousness.

HOT!
and her boobs don't look fake to me. She looks about a C cup.
