I am a size 22 up top - blessed in the nork department and a size 18 on the bottom.
Sometimes i get irritated because i can't find clothes in my size that i like but when i look at my body in the mirror - i like it.
As i say, my top heaviness is due to an ample bosum, which is, for my age pretty firm still.
I have been slimmer, in fact i was a size 10 when i met DP - but that was 20 years ago. Then after i had DD 7 years ago, due to illness i was a size 12 again - miserable, i hated it, my breasts shrunk and i didn't feel like me.
I do have self esteem issues but not surrounding my body.
When i tell people i am happy being the size i am they make faces at me - i find this insulting.
I am pretty fit, i walk for miles and cycle distances that make the face pullers making faces and declaring that they can't do that. I am extremely flexible and can touch the floor next to my toes wth the flats of my hands without bending my knees
I would be happy to be a size 18 on top and a size 16/14 down below but no slimmer, thanks. I would probably prefer that size but for no reasons other than health reasons - i eat a healthy diet but probably drink a little too much I also have flabby thighs which need sorting out, but othe than that, when i look in the mirror, i like what i see.
I'm 5'2"
I am a very sexual person and i FEEL sexy and my DP certainly thinks i'm sexy.
As i say, i have self esteem issues but they are no way associated with my body imagine. I don't like my face so much.
AIBU to be irritated when people clearly don't believe that someone of my size is happy with their body.
