I'm not buying into this weight loss/diet nonsense. - Comments

Be confident. This world is pushing so many ideals on us that we will be lost and trampled if we follow them. Good that you're reflecting and thinking things through. It's important to be healthy and to take care of your body and do good things like charity work. I agree that there are more important things to worry about then how chubby someone is. But also there's the fact we live in a consumer society and we are encourage to buy buy buy and we have to reflect on that and exercise and stop worrying so much about the latest and greatest stuff and think about the awesome people and projects we can be with instead.
Nice blog, definitely good to think about. A little angry, but I'm angry too when I think about the nonsense that's shoved down my throat without options.

@ The Zac
You've totally misread the point of this blog and I'm not wasting any time on this. So please stop commenting because I dont want the constant alerts.

@ Soy un Dorito!
Yeah exactly. If you're a 200kg hamplanet whose organs are on the verge of shitting themselves, stop loving yourself so hard. Same goes for a 6'2 guy who weighs like 45kg, get some calories through ya

@ The Zac
It just bothers me to hear both extremely underweight or insanely overweight say that they're fine when clearly, they're not. Other than that, love thy selves and whatnot, fap away to your own pics and whatever. YAY SELF LOVE

Yeah sometimes I see someone who just looks weird and I stare a bit too much. It's embarassing.

@ Soy un Dorito!
Haha that's the go. I'm more critical of other guys bodies than I am of girls to be honest. I'll see a guy who's small as fuck or out of proportion and be coming up with ways to fix it in my head before realising I've been staring at a guy's calves for a bit too long.

@ The Zac
I can find almost all body types attractive. You just got to rock whatever you've got. Boy, I'm all round and fluffy and I've been told I'm hella sexeh because, apparently, I make the whole lolita thing happen
Confidence is the key. When it's not too much

@ Soy un Dorito!
Curvy girls are pretty hot, so are a lot of thinner girls. Obvioulsy I'm not a fan of the morbidly obese nor the anoerexic looking girls. Fit girls are the shit though, a bit of leg muscle, a squatter's ass. Cheeeeeaaaa

@ Soy un Dorito!
Great minds think alike apparently.

Most men I know actually find chubby women sexier than skinny models

@ The Zac
Ah, we're finally getting along

@ Soy un Dorito!
Yeah that's a good point. I'm definitely going to be more attracted to someone I have common ground with.

@ The Zac
I lol'd at the I'm going to wife this bitch
Anyways, I'm usually more pulled towards people who act a certain way rarher than look a certain way. Like, I'd be way more into the average looking boy reading Cormac McCarthy than the extremelly hot guy playing soccer (or any sport, for that matter). More than being attracted to people who look good, I think we as human beings, are attracted to people we feel we can relate to, whether they look like a Hollywood star or not.

@ Soy un Dorito!
Yeah I can agree with that. I don't see a good looking girl and think "I'm going to wife this bitch" I just like the way she looks. If I'm interested in a relationship they need to have a whole lot more than just how they look going for them. And same goes for me, I need to be more than just my appearance as well. I wrote a blog about the double standards a lot of girls have about men a while back. But yeah, it bugs me.

It's good that you define beautiful as more than just a appearance. I do too. Appearance is a big part of it for me but a good looking person who has a shitty personality isn't going to be what I call beautiful.

@ The Zac
I took Psyc, too, I remember that. I mean, of course an overall attractive person is more likely to get your attention but, at the end of the day, and unless you're way shallow, you'll end up married to the woman/man that makes you feel loved and that you feel completes you, not that one model who looks like a million dollars but is dumb as a doorknob.
And, at least to me, it's really hard to look at a stranger and rate them in terms of looks. I mean, I can tell an ugly face from a pretty face, but I find it odd to call someone 'beautiful' if I know zero about them. But maybe that's just a quirk of mine.
More alluring than facial features or body shapes is a character. Some people aren't even pretty, yet they're seductive in a whole different way.

@ Soy un Dorito!
Yes I'm very well aware of that. I don't just work on myself physically, I spend a lot of time improving my mind, and other things. I love learning things that interest me. Looking good is just a part of it. I'm going to be more interested in getting to know an attractive person. We learnt about it in psych but I'm too tired to bother getting my textbooks lol.

@ The Zac
Well, you're 19, after all.
Although that is true at some extent, you will soon realize that being attractive is a mindset and beauty goes way beyond faces and bodies and clothes.

@ Soy un Dorito!
The first thing any one sees is your appearance. And like it or not that's where a lot of assumptions come in. If I see a girl who I find unattractive for whatever reason I'm going to be less inclined to want to get to know her as a person. It's harsh but that's life.

@ crisiscore.
I'm not insecure in the slightest. I just don't think as a society we should celebrate mediocrity and bring down people who want to better themselves. The general gist I got from this when reading through the lines is that she tried to lose weight, it didn't work, then she developed this attitude. It's not new. It's not productive. Each to their own, I decided to give her a bit of advice in case she ever wants to try again. Take it or leave it it doesn't bother me, live your life the way that makes you happy yo

@ little motorkitty;
I never said being skinny is healthy. Of course it's not always. When did I ever say that? I don't look at some skinny little weed and go "maaan dude must be in good health". He's probably not. Unless he's just a hard gainer, if so, sucks to be him.

And no, if I rememver correctly your blog starts off saying how you tried to lose weight and it didn't work out for you. So at one point you wanted to. I could be very wrong but reading it gave me the assumption that you tried once, went the wrong way about it and then decided to be all like "Oh actually it's society's fault". That attitude annoys me.

I'm not fatphobic. How is that even a thing? My best mate is rather large (He's working on it though, good on him), so are a lot of people that I know. I'm not anti-fat so much as I'm anti poor health. It's a strain on the individuals, their families and the general public who has to pay their health care with our taxes. And frankly, being buff is just more fun haha.

First let me say that you are cute. Cute and chubby, haha. I agree with you on some extent, though.

I understand why being fat isn't as desirable because in America being fat usually means disease because of the horrible foods that we eat (including the skinny people) however I do believe that the industry is pushing another unhealthy body image in the media because I see some of those model chicks and honestly, I think they look disgusting. They're way too skinny. It's just gross. Yet to other women that's desirable (and the guys are looking at us like, "What the fuck? You're too skinny" at least black guys are) and so many girls want to achieve this unhealthy image. It's not even attractive.

I think that the ideal size in the media should be size 6-12 because I think that's in the healthy range.

I want to loose weight though because health issues revolving around fat run in my family such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and every other fat issue you can think of. So... I can't get fat. Plus I get back rolls and I don't like how it feels.
