packing woes

[lolofatty]

oh god. I'm packing for the move, and throwing out beautiful clothes that are way too small. I hold them up and it looks like a child would fit into them. it's crazy to think how your mind changes with your body; I think, "how could I have possible fit into that less than two years ago? it's impossibly small." And back then I was asking the same

I've had that same situation many a time. It's depressing. I never enjoyed my skinny years either (I'm so retarded I don't even want to say "skinny" but "skinnier" because I can't ever imagine being skinny). Balls to that.

PS- You're gorgeous!

[lolofatty]

lol, "balls to that," love that, never heard it before

thanks for the kind words.

moms do that. you'll just know to never do that to yours.
you're not shallow, you're a product of our culture. its inevitable.
my mom was always telling me that i wass gaining weight too. so stupid.

[lolofatty]

why the fuck do they do that?!!??! we don't do that to them!!!

[kar_kar]

i think they are a product of their culture.

now that things like anorexia are widely recognized and our own american society is becoming so much more diverse (ssexual preference, cultures, ethnicities, languages), i think the younger generations are fighting old models and view points that restrict this un-stoppable, exponential heteogenious growth. its a shame that glamour/sex/appeal is still predominantly viewed as thin though. if anything, i'm WAY more attracted to women with curves and junk than i am the waifs

i also now think it's not "skinny years" persay, but "pre-woman" years. i've gained about twenty pounds since highschool, fifteen of which happened lasst summer, andi'm stiill gaining pounds. i was attributing it to the anuittritious food in china, but now i'm just realizing i'm putting on that hip, ass, and waiststill. its that weight that women just get regardless of how much they refuse to eat or what they eat; the weight just decides to come. yuuuuuup. its also because most of our models are practically prepubescent (half of them are atleast) or so amazonian perportioned that they barely show weight

[lolofatty]

that's a good point, getting older really does change a person, not only mentally but physically. fucking models. they're not happy, so why aren't we happy either?

btw, 20 pounds? TRY FIFTY!!!!!!
anyway, you're so beautiful kar, and I'm pretty sure those 20 pounds are invisible.

I love you and miss you terribly.

hey sorry i didn't mean to make that statement a comparison type one. i was just saying that i haven't gained weight since junior high, so it was a bit of a shock to me

thanks for your looove

i can't wait to see you in our home stomping ground

i've been loving your recent personal pictures because you look so much more womanly. its good to see because its almost a cop-out to be a thin model because you already have the "creative" formulas and recipes in the magizines, on the web, and in pop art at your finger tips. people with curves have to look back to either the old, old days or they have to make something new up...usually its an odd blend. there's a new acceptance and almost exciting thing about woman who aren't what is always pictured making their own personal artistic image and consequently statement
keep em coming

love love ya

[kar_kar]

oh and i decided to love the poundss

make mickey mousses with them
lots and lots of mickeys

in public

in hopes of random rasberries

I feel you. My mama is the exact. same. way.

Kara speaks a lotta truth.

I've lost and gained weight multiple times since high school and I haaaate when I catch myself thinking "________ will be better when I'm THINNER!" because it is total bullshit to not enjoy life because you think your arms look fat or something. At least I catch myself thinking these things and then reprimand myself.

Or maybe that just means I'm crazy and soon I'll be talking to myself out loud in public, only in affirmations.

My point? I've always thought you were beautiful and I always will.
