dear racer,
i just caught up on this thread. have you seen all the press about carrie otis, one of the most successful models ever? she spent years eating lettuce and snorting champagne to remain the ideal model weight of 115 or what-have-you, and now she has allowed herself to go to 155, and she is happier than she's ever been (or so she told the lady on 20/20 or whatevah).
it just seems like your SO should be able to see past some weight gain and support you in whatever you decide...i agree with all the other posters, and wendy *did* put it so well...how attractive his his darlin booty nowadays?
i had a boyfriend who looked at my belly with disgust because i am a skinny person with a potbelly. fuck it, i say, i like to drink. a pot belly is proof of living and drinking well! :)
if yr not happy with yr bod, it's best to change, but i know the weird mind games...i used to have eating disordered behavior, like if i ate a slice if pizza i'd run a mile to work it off crazy shit like that, but i'm this big carrie otis fan now, she says eat healthy and exercise, don't deprive yourself but take care of yourself...
your body is yours, don't let anyone fuck with you that way please, size 12 is normal, do what you want...how is your SO's psychological condition? do you think he may be using your weight as a scapegoat?
too much damn hypothesizing when i don't even know you! weight issues are close to my heart and i just want you to know that you've got another supporter.
love,
sar
