still not comfortable with body

lynnoakdale Posts: 116 Joined: 2003/12/12	2004/02/06, 09:58 AM I need some advice from you men because only you can tell me how to take this. I have lost some weight and I am toning up..........the other day I was in the the gym and when I go there I were a tank top (manbeater) and a pair of shorts.............I wear as little as possilbe without exposing skin other then arms and legs because I sweat like a goat in heat and one of my guy friends was there and he looked at me and said you hide your body when you go out because you pile all those clothes on it he said I had no idea you had curves and then he said that I was solid..........ok I do have some poundage to lose but what does that mean Solid???..........does it mean that my fat is solid and not cottage cheese like???? I feel that he gave me a compliment but does this mean that I should change the way I dress??? You know when I tell people that I want to be a lot smaller guys say no you have to have some meat on your bones..........but it isnt my type of woman that turns their head when I walk down the street.......so what is it fellas.......I am all confused now. -------------- you can lead the horse to the water but you can't make them drink..... ~lynnoakdale

You should work towards getting your body where YOU want it. If you like what you see in the mirror, maintain. If you do not, intensify. Wear whatever you feel comfortable and sexy in!

Some folks never even step foot in the gym and just set around a bitc, well you know what I mean. Take it for what it's worth, someone thinks your hard work is paying off.

	2004/02/06, 05:16 PM I vote compliment too.Curves are always good. As far as how you dress, hec's right. We're dogs. Wear tank tops and short shorts.....all the time...everywhere you go.... unless its bikini season.....Woof -------------- Its like herding cats. Charlie

Smashley16 Posts: 17 Joined: 2004/01/18	2004/02/07, 11:25 AM I would say it was a compliment...I am 5'5 and 1/2 an I weigh 211lbs. Well, then other day I invited my friend Jenny to work out with me and I work out in cropped stretch pants, and she was like "wow! You look good in stretch pants" I was like umm....ok. But I think the reason she was so surprised is because I usually wear really baggy pants/t-shirts so it was a compliment. I hardly ever wear tight clothes. So I would take what he said as a compliment, even if he is a guy.

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/02/07, 06:35 PM I frequently look at myself naked in the mirror. I am usually wearing women's clothing. Is this cause for concern? -------------- Hec da Rec in full effect.
