[redandblue]

hi,
one of my male (gay) friends has just insulted me and hinted that i am overweight..i am fairly tall at 5ft 7 and weight 9stone, sometimes just over that. I know he is obsessed with all things Hollywood but i honestly thought i was quite slim!! (usually dress size 10)
Now am totally paranoid when he is near..

men! what do they know

your weight sounds perfectly wonderful to me

i am 5 7 and my double f chest weighs about nine stone at the moment. FGS, youre thin girl.

Your friend is a prat. Sorry. But I should think you are very slim.

No you aren't FGS

Blimming heck, I'm 5'1 and I weighed 9 stone - or a bit under - at the beginning of this pg. My BMI was 23-24-ish, I think. What an odd friend you have.

but surely you know you are not overweight, rab?

Yes i know im not overweight but now he may have sown the seed of doubt into my mind, saying that size 10 is actually quite large these days, etc etc, and that now i dont think i am as slim as i thought any more..he is skinny as a whippet but then he never bloody eats!

oh i know im being stupid; there are worse things to worry about in the world right now, other than my stupid weight analysis..

new name by the way!

you really need to ignore this guy's comments. he must consider everyon is overweight!!

You're not overweight you're just showing off.
Coming on here telling us you are 5'7" and weigh 9 stone.
MAke us all feel bad why don't you!!

I'm 5 7" and can't even remember when I weighed that little!

"Size 10 is actually quite large these days"

That's bollocks. And you know it's bollocks.

Why does his opinion matter ... he fancies boys, not women, so you still wouldn't be attractive to him even if you were size 0.

i have just joined weight watchers and only have 8 pounds to lose to rach my target weight of 9.5 stone. i am 5ft 5. was feeling really good about myself until i read this! maybe i should make my target weight 8.5 stone now......

i'm 5ft 7 and 9 stone, i dont think i am overweight

WW probably have a much better understanding of what your target weight should be than some random person, astarisborn. Why listen to what some random bloke who you don't know, and who doesn't even fancy women, has to say?

god no youre positively lithe. ditch the bitch....!

Definitely not overweight! What an idiot. Size 0 people are not healthy, will age quickly and may not live much past middle age.

A gay man told you this?

Well, there's your clue.

Women: not his area of expertise.

I hate to say this, but gay men by definition aren't exactly drawn to womanly curves....

Eh? Seriously?!

I'm 5,6 and about 9st 3. My clothes are size 8-10. I don't want to be any smaller!!!!

astarisborn, no dont listen to my dickhead of a mate, he worships skeletons!!
i will be proud of my curves and round padded bottom.
so there.
