Something home-cooked by Kellifer (can be anything, but it's usually not fried).
Supper (1:00am)
Plenty of munchies (chocolate, exceedingly good cakes, etc)
I stuck to this for six months and went from 11st 4lbs to 10st 4lbs.

Maybe you could send none of the food you are eating before 9 pm in the night to me so I can put on some weight.
Weren't you complaining about a poor diet a few months back? Now you're revelling in it!
I think my skinny figure was brought on by years of gorging on coca cola instead of food. The sugar just got burnt off doing sport and then I was left with...nothing Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :
It's not a poor diet. It's got fruit and everything!
I don't feel as ill as I used to, and I guess my belly is getting a bit smaller which is good for the old "self-confidence".

Mine is:
Breakfast: Tea (3 sugars)
Lunch: Cheese and tomato sandwiches (2 rounds)
Dinner: hot meal - varies between mountain of pasta/ noodles/ entire pizza/ quiche. Something hefty to keep me going until midday the next day.

Posted by squeegy (Member # 136) on :
Jaysus, I feel like a pig compared to you lot.
Breakfast A bowl of cerial and a cup of tea if there is time.
Mid Morning Snack Slice of cake and a coke from the shitty 'bakery' across the road.
Lunch Recently 2 pies and 2 fizzy drinks but now cut down to one of each due to budgetary constraints.
Dinner (supper?) Varies between a full meat and 2 veg to a sandwich depending on how hungry I am.
Maybe I have worms? Anyway, Im still a skinny mofo.
Posted by Abby (Member # 582) on :
Jesus, have you lot all had your stomach stapled or something?
I need two breakfasts (at home and at work – maybe a piece of toast, then some soup and fruit), lunch (sandwich or more soup and salad, occasionally a hot lard-lunch), late afternoon snack (biscuits/soup/nuts) and dinner (substantial), with beer/wine variable.
I don’t have four portions of soup everyday though, it is interchangeable with the other options. Right this moment I have some butternut squash, ginger and apricot soup with dipping bread. It is excellent and should keep me going until I have dinner with a friend in about three hours!
I try to steer clear of gratuitously lardy food and go for large volumes of ‘good’ food, but sometimes I lose the battle…
Posted by jnhoj (Member # 286) on :
Cereal / Toast, tea.
Sandwiches of some kind , fruit juice
evening meal of lots of veg and carbs.
thats about it.
I can usually manage without one of those depending on how busy I am though.

I'm starving right now, actually. I really wanted something healthy for dinner last night so I made a giant bowl of fresh asparagus soup. This morning I feel almost too weak to operate the mouse.
But - I only have to look in the mirror at the big round ball of fat that people call my head, and grip in my fingertips the rolls of flab that threaten to spill over the tops of my trousers and it reminds me that I can't give in yet.

breakfast - often doesn't happen. if it does, it's a couple of weetabix (no sugar) and perhaps a grapefruit.
lunch is invariably a sandwich (often on white bread) and a bag of crisps. i think about having a piece of fruit or something instead, but i find they don't taste like bags of crisps.
dinner - always hot, either meat + 2, pasta, or something and rice, but always fresh. i h99 "ready meals" - they are made by idiots who have never even seen, let alone tasted, the food they're aping. and they're too small. dinner is usually accompanied by a couple of glasses of wine.
i don't snack between meals, i don't add suagr to anything, and only use a little salt in preparation if the dish needs it - never on the plate.
i weigh 2.5 stone more than i did 10 years ago, but i'm just below the midrange of the "correct" weight band for my height. have not been to the gym for years though, and my physique is disappointing.

My role model in terms of my physique is indeed Lady (please, not "Princess"!) Di, but it's erroneous to think that you can't build muscle without eating cow pies.
Also, I was being a little misleading in my diet report. That was Monday and Tuesday diet, extended to Weds and Thurs if I break it on Mon or Tues.
Normal diet Weds-Thurs=
breakfast
coffee and sometimes cereal
lunch
"wrap" with meat, salad, or bagel, or filled roll, or 2 cheeseburgers if Metro is offering McDonalds vouchers that week.
supper
as above
Friday sees more shameful gluttony as I take advantage of work's free "Cafe del Mondo" for
lunch
filled baguette and chocolate muffin
However, the big change comes on Sunday, which explains why I need to discipline myself dianalike on Mon and Tues.
Plus, distributed throughout the week, I must consume at least 1.5 bottles of wine at home and maybe 6 pints of lager when out.

Well, all this started off with Prof-Kov's determination as to TMO's most-wanted. Not a pair of shoulders or an arse between em. 'Tis my assertion that a man shouldn't be starving himself to look like a anorexic bird.
See, Errbs, I reckon many women have bought into this skinny bitch myth cus they thinks men like it. Not me, I like curves, boobs and buttox. When Cosmo or Vogue sat down to reinvent the ideal woman did anyone ask me ? Did they fuck. Did they ask any fathers, builders, Sun-readers and general ordinary folk ? No, they asked some gay fashion designers what an ideal woman should look like so it shouldn't be a shock if their ideal woman looks like a 12 year old boy. And now it looks like blokes are starting to do starvation and you've got a chance here to save one of these ladyboys - tell them what you really like or they'll be sicking themselves into an early grave.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head there. And until Kovacs jumps in to say he was only joking about his "some of the best looking" remark I shall have to assume this was based on the world's least fun meet. The one where all the guys shared half a biscuit, got a bit tetchy after six cups of sweet coffee and couldn't quite talk through sucked in cheeks.... but by the end, by god, they'd got the good-looking rankings sorted.
Warning... female diet follows. Some readers may be offended by the presence of multiple food groups and between-meals snacking.
Breakfast - cup of tea, apple
Lunch - Carton of tomato and chickpea soup, cereal bar (it was Gillian McKeith "Vitamin C" bar. Don't bother, overpriced)
Tea - Mackerel, fresh ratatouille (courgette, pepper, tomato, garlic), hummous, wholemeal pitta bread. Some Green and Blacks to follow. Quite possibly a couple of apples if I feel like it.
All of the above supplemented with about three cups of coffee, three more of chammomile tea and a couple of doses of effervescent echinacea for urgh reasons. If I go to the gym there'll probably be a large packet of nuts or the like on the way home....

I favour tall and slim but if shorter then chunkier is the way to go. I had this exact conversation with my friend the other night and it's all to do with them being a man and making you feel like a lady. Size -> bigger - man - macho - dominant etc You don't want to be lying there feeling like a giant heffer next to some tiny skinny boy, it really harshes the boner. So their size needs to be proportional to yours. However you don't wanna go too far the other way. I can do man-tummy - actively enjoy man-tummy - but recent forays have revealed that I really really can't do man-boobs. Especially not if man-with-boobs has a nipple-play thing going on.

Jesus I’m amazed some of you don’t waste away, my typical daily intake:
Breakfast: Rarely, if anything then a bottle of Mars milk if the cornershop on the way to work has any in, which isn’t often annoyingly.
Lunch: Either Bombay Bad Boy pot noodle with a bread roll or similar OR sandwiches and crisps Or if it’s Friday possibly a Chinese from the van on the market
Mid-Afternoon: Can of coke, full fat, none of your battery acid diet crap
Dinner: More or less always meat and plenty of it, plus rice/potatoes/pasta, typically something spicy like a chicken or prawn curry, homemade lamb kebabs, pork or prawn stir-fry with rice or noodles. Always a large portion of.
Weekend: maybe cereal or bacon sandwich if I get up at a sensible hour, sandwiches/ left overs, beans on toast for lunch, then something like a curry, pizza or similar for dinner, if Sunday then possibly a takeaway
Booze: Far too much normally, there is a downside to working next door to a pub after all it seems, very rarely do more than a couple of days go by without booze intake of some kind these days.
I would like to lose a bit of weight, I’m not fat but I am a bit porkier round the middle than I’d like, playing tennis/badminton regularly is helping but I really need to get down the gym again to be honest.

I have consumed today.
One banana. A handful of shortbread biscuits. A bag of tortillas. 3 cups of coffee.
I don't feel that hungry, not enough to cook something. I might eat a bit of fruit in a bit or have some toast. Am I dying? Is it possible to survive on this?
One day I will hit reply after checking my post.

Dude, I think you might be dying. It is not possible for an adult male to survive on that diet for any length of time. Unless of course you are 36 inches tall and weigh 47 lbs. If this is the case, forget I said anything.
For the record, I eat more than that before breakfast each and every day.

The Vogon Diet:
Brekkist
2 slices white toast n marmite (if hungover, a veggie sausage sandwich) fruit juice
Mid Morning
Choc bar/biscuits approx 1 litre Kensington tap water
Lunch
wholemeal cheese roll crisps
Afternoon
apple satsuma cuppa tea (3 sugars)
Dinner
something vegesquarian
Evening
cuppa tea (3 sugars) lard (popcorn/ice cream etc)
Based on very occasional interaction with bathroom scales, I think I have been about the same weight for the past ten years or so.

Posted by Meg (Member # 444) on :
A couple of years ago I started a food diary, after cottoning on to the fact that my weight wasn't exactly healthy (currently a stone and a half lighter than I was then). I discovered it again the other day - I was eating cereal, biscuits/crisps, sandwich, chocolate bar and more crisps, followed by more crisps and or chocolate, then maybe a pizza and garlic bread or anything not home cooked. Probably some wine and or beer too. Ouch.
Now:
Breakfast - if I have anything, it's yoghurt or cereal. From next week, it's going to be natural yoghurt with dired banana chips and raisins. Yum (I hope).
Snack - one or two rice cakes with cottage cheese
Lunch - salad with fish or chicken
Dinner - fish or meat and veg. Pasta, rice and potatoes don't feature very highly - need to remedy this. (although tonight's dinner was a mug of beef oxo with a slice of wholemeal bread torn up and thrown in, plus an extra slice of buttered bread on the side - food gets delivered tomorrow)
Snack - Green & Black's chocolate (now have a self-imposed ban on buying the stuff)
And yet, I remain a biffer.
Edit - Ringo have you got lardy?? And why aren't you on msn, I want to talk to you.

okay, just bin spending a little time going over the diet, my previous eat what you want when you want might be a little off, considering I dont have the money to eat what I want when I want it.
usually (mon-fri) breakfast = none
mid morn = 2 peice a toast'n'marmite (if theres any bread left)
lunch = packet a crisps and a chocolate (if I feel rich)otherwise 2 peices toast'n'marmite (if theres any bread left)
afternoon break = starting to think this doesnt exist anymore as I have had only 2 in the last fortnight, 2 rollies, 2 peices toast'n'marmite (shocked if there is still bread left, sacrefice 1 rollie for the time spent checking the bread for mould)
Dinner = usually massive plate of economy pasta and economy sauce purchased from economy 'lidl' for a combined price of approx £1.50 for a full weeks supply or a chicken burger and chips (combined price £0.99) from my local economy late home option
generally dont drink much at all, averagely about 2 pints of lager a week probably less. about 10 cups of coffee a day, 6-7 of which is that nasty instant shit, and about 20 rollies/fags if I feel extreeeemly rich.

If you really did have worms though then that imagery would totally work.
Incidentally, if you do ever have worms then get your owners to put a wormer tab in some cheese and then you won't even notice it when you eat it! That's much better than when they hold your mouth open and throw the tab at the back of your throat and then hold your mouth closed and stroke your throat. It's meant to make you swallow the tab but you can usually sneak it into your cheek, pretend to swallow and then spit it out into the litter tray when they're not looking. I prefer the cheese myself.

You see, that's the problem with that method. I would suggest a squeezy bottle (of the kind ketchup or mustard comes in) which you can use to squeeze water into the mouth to help the wormer go down and not stick in the throat. Has to be done while holding the mouth shut, of course, and just inserting the nozzle between the lips.

cheese, I'm telling you. Make sure that you never ever give them any other human food apart from the odd piece of cheese.

I did read somewhere that, apparently, cigarettes are bad for your health, and in all kinds of ways. Perhaps you could try becoming a non smoker and see if that helps at all?
I've found that since stopping smoking, I'm able to excercise for longer and harder without getting tired and out of breath. Consequently, I'm able to shift weight like never before.
Maybe there really is some truth in what the scaremongers tell you about smoking?

A few years back I plumped up a little, and my Doctor told me I was fat and needed to lose some weight. I couldn't stop eating and thought I might even have a compulsive eating disorder.
Then I moved to London, got a new Doctor, got an allergy diagnosed (the symptoms of which I'd been complaining to original doctor about for 7 years), and bingo! Dairy comes out of the diet, and within a couple of weeks I'm feeling better. After a couple of months I'm like a whole new person.
Now it is about 3 years later, and I have lost 3 stone in the past two years by doing nothing other than removing the allergen. Feel much better, fit into size 12 clothes (I still have size 20/22 clothes from way back when), and eat what feels comfortable, rather than what evil allergy is dictating to me.
Anyway, average day I eat:
Breakfast: 2 bags of Hula Hoops Packet of Chocolate Covered Sesame Snaps
Snack: Crisps or Biscuits
Lunch: Sandwich
Tea: Whatever is there. Sometimes healthy, sometimes not so healthy.
I drink orange squash continually all throughout the day, which is not quite the same stuff as water, but not really too far off. Still wooshes through me like an enema.

OK, let's do it like this. Two scales, first for height, second for weight, both on a scale of one to ten - one being the shortest and ten the tallest on the first, and one being the thinnest and ten the fattest on the second. The Weight scale would be mre indicative of how your body acrtually loks than how much you weigh, which isn't (as the ladies have shown) always indicative.
bandy would therefore be described thus:
H9W5
So - extremely tall, and neither particularly skinny nor particularly stacked. of average muscularity according to his height.
Now you go!
Oh, and with regard to women'd sizes, i always find the body mass index quite useful. if I'm feeling a bit paunchy, it's alway snice to confirm that I am still bang in the middle of the healthiest weight range for my height.

Again, misogynistic media-fed third-hand "ideas". You lap up the breastmilk of Daily Mail and Dove, and spew it back at Me! You really think size 8 females are some kind of mutants who can't have children and don't look womanly, and that any man who finds them attractive must have some anorexic-fetish or secretly fancy boys? The notion that to be a "real woman" you have to have wide hips and swinging tits is just as offensive as the idea that the ideal woman should look like she's stepped out of a concentration camp.
I was exaggerating before: "for yuks". I don't really feel size 12 is chubby. However, I don't think size 8 has to be abnormally bony either. By swinging the other way you are insulting anyone who naturally has narrow hips and a small bust. Where's the progress in that?

I think there's a lot of progress in challenging or subverting the dominant stereotype, yes. I also said 'signifiers of fecundity' which is not the same as claiming a size eight woman is incapable of child-bearing.

That's a very reductive reading, Ringo. I was simply linking in Kovacs' views on dress size with Kovacs' sexual proclivities. I'm not making any generalisations about the male sex based upon what Kovacs believes. I think that would be doing men a disservice, don't you?
Posted by Vanilla Online Persona (Member # 301) on :
Also, my system has the advantage of two values past the decimal point, - length and girth. So Prof-Kov would be worth ¥7.11. Whereas London, I suspect, has larger balls.
The system allows ladies of the opposite sex to compare notes whilst at the same table as their lurvers. What could be sweeter and more delightful.
Yes, this is the system for any woman of taste. Up Vanilla, Down Scrawnus.

I might actually believe what you're saying, were it not for the fact you mentioned challenging or subverting a dominant stereotype, which surely is something which runs far deeper than Kovacs' sexual preferences?

Perhaps I should have written 'a' dominant stereotype rather than 'the'. What I meant is that, if, in attempting to praise the fuller-figured female, our skinnier sisters get insulted in the process, this is not something which concerns me overly. Likewise if, in the process of female emancipation, males find themselves losing cultural power or potency, this is not something which concerns me overly. Likewise if, in attempting to render buildings accessible to disabled customers, the organisation has to shell out a few extra pounds in order to intall a wheelchair ramp, this is not something which concerns me overly. Likewise if, in attempting to render our predominantly-white police force more multicultural, an Asian police officer is hired rather than a white one, when they are both equally suitable for the position, this is not something which concerns me overly. Likewise if, in making a delicious omelette, the shells of the eggs find themselves torn apart and thrown in the bin, this is not something which concerns me overly.
Is this so wrong?

It is self-centred and offensive to millions of women. You decide. And OJ, a lactating woman does not equal an adult woman. Many people, including myself, would not like to drink breast milk. That doesn't mean they are all repulsed by adult females. I also don't agree that a petite woman with a size 8 figure would look like a child.

Yeah - I'd say so. I don't think all your examples are comparable, but I don't get why it's OK to insult skinny women and not fat ones. That doesn't make any sense at all. How is that making any difference at all? The wheelchair ramp/ money example is just a nonsense: For it to work along the same format as the rest of what you've written you'd have to say:
"So what, if in rendering a building accessible to wheelchair users, you have to make it inaccessible to able bodied people?"
That more closely resembles your points, as well as exposing what you're saying as the one step forward, one step back cack it actually is. The asian/ white job thing isn't progress. Progress would just be ignoring ethnicity altogether.

I find the exhortation to love all other females simply because they are 'sisters' just as tiresome as the stereotype that all women are competitive bitches constantly at each other's throats. If avoiding offence to women is so paramount in your world-view, how does this square with the fact that, in praising the skinny figure, fatter women get insulted every single day?

She doesn't have wide hips or huge tits but does not look, to me, like someone who couldn't or wouldn't have children. She does not look like a child. Neither does Modge's friend who is 5'2 and size 8 look like a child. It is entirely possible to be petite and be in womanly proportion.

Well... exactly - isn't that why putting the boot into "stick thin" girls no different to saying 'fatty' or whatever? And it's not equivalent to simply holding up slim girls as examples of fit people, and fat girls being inferred to be less attractive. You're suggesting that men who like skinnier girls are somehow sexually deviant. That's more offensive than someone saying they like slim girls, and then just letting people draw their own conclusions.

Yeah, scrub the wheelchair one, that doesn't work. As for the ignoring ethnicity thing, of course that's the ultimate goal, but at this present point in time, when bias is something which we have to struggle to overcome, I think we *do* have to consider ethnicity until more of a parity has been achieved. Likewise, of course, ideally, nobody - fat or thin - would ever be insulted. But at the moment, while the dominant sterotype continues to inform any woman larger than a 10 that her body is inferior, any speech or text which works to redress that message is performing a valuable function. And if that speech or text inadvertently offends some oversensitive size 8 who is apparently blind to the comfort offered by the messages in the culture around her, then - so be it.

You're the clown who used the word "sisters"! Is there no middle-ground for you between loving all women and slagging off any women who don't, for whatever reason, have your body shape?

If I were to say I find women of, say, size 8-16 more attractive than anyone outside that range (which I didn't actually say, but I would be OK with doing so) I don't think that's really insulting anyone else. If I were to narrow down and say I find sizes 8-12 generally more attractive than anyone skinnier or fatter, that's still not offensive to anyone unless they base their self-worth on my personal opinion.
For you to imply that women of size 10 or below don't have the signifiers of womanhood, motherhood, fecundity, adulthood or whatever is a far more sweeping and damning statement.

It's not inadvertant though is it. It's completely possible to suggest that a size 14 is attractive without adding that size 8 girls look like half starved kids and men who fancy them are repressed kiddie fiddlers.

Well thanks for illuminating that point about adult/lactating females Kovacs. I would never have figured that one out. Fact remains, it's an odd choice of metaphor for someone trying to prove they're not repulsed by adult women.
I don't agree that all size 8 women look like children so don't lump me into that one either.
I also have absolutely no idea what you're trying to prove here with your "reverse insult" argument, apart from perhaps trying to build on the deliberate sleight to "chubby" size 12s, which was, in itself, well lame...
Wasn't the original point here that there was a worryingly anorexic trend in some of the male eating habits detailed here, which could be skewing the perspective somewhat.... Only the very skinny or inhabitants of planet-la-la-fashion would equate a size 12 with chubbiness.

I never said that. I associated Kovacs' views on dress size with Kovacs' views on sex. As I said to Ringo, I'm not making generalisations about male sexuality. I'm talking about Kovacs, an individual with his own distinct sex of sexual preferences which he has discussed at length on here. It's you and Ringo who are extrapolating generalisations from this - generalisations which I have never made.

I wasn't "trying to prove" I'm not repulsed by adult women. Where the hell do you get that from? Why would I have to "prove" that when I've been sleeping with adult women for decades, living with one for years and marrying one in a couple of months?
Breastmilk is disgusting to most adults, isn't it? It's more weird for you to try to make out there's something suspect about a man who doesn't find it appealing. As for spewing, I gather it's what babies do. With milk. I don't think that was an awful metaphor, off the cuff.

This is quite hilarious. Thanks for cheering me up. I'll always remember in future, that when I use irony or humour it's to drench a screwy argument and that when you do, it's conversational finesse only ruined by humourless cranks like me.

If that's not the case then I apoligise, but I really don't see how you could possibly believe that in order to say that one body shape is attractive, that naturally implies that all others are unattractive. Is anyone really that imperceptive about male sexuality, and female notions of self worth?

I disagree. I feel that a size 12 is a bit too thin, a size 14 a bit too heavy. A size 13 would be just right.

It's not mashed. It's real cock (or hen) flesh! And the special sauce tastes too much like fanny batter to be farmerspunk (I imagine).

I never said that. I associated Kovacs' views on dress size with Kovacs' views on sex. As I said to Ringo, I'm not making generalisations about male sexuality. I'm talking about Kovacs, an individual with his own distinct sex of sexual preferences which he has discussed at length on here. It's you and Ringo who are extrapolating generalisations from this - generalisations which I have never made.
Come off it! You claimed it was understandable Kovacs would like size 8 women given that he was "[turned on by]extreme youth and is actively turned off by signs of fecundity in women." That's equating men who fancy size 8 women with - basically - perverts. That's just a bitter argument.

I think a slim body is more child-like than a fat one, given that we naturally gain weight as we age.
I think that a curvy female body with fat thighs and a round ass and heavy tits is associated more with the traditional 'feminine' child-bearing female body than a slim-hipped, small-breasted, more androgynous shape.
I think it is natural that Kovacs, who has explored issues around age and sex on here, would be attracted to a body which appears more child-like and androgynous than one which appears more adult and overtly fecund.
That isn't the same as saying that all size 8 women are sexless childlike anorexic sticks and that all men who fancy them are pedophiles.
Is it?

I dont know really. Can it really work both ways? I mean, on the one hand you say that smaller framed women are more androgenous and child-like in their appearance, and yet on the other hand you're saying this isn't necessaraly the reason why men find them attractive.
Why else would men find them attractive over rounder figured women, if not for those particular physical attributes, as you yourself have defined them? Surely, by very definition, you're implying that someone who finds size 8 women attractive, finds a child like appearance sexually pleasing, and as such implies a sexual preference that most would find slightly worrying.

If this is true then what fucking dominant stereotype are you trying to overturn, that makes it OK to lay into skinny chicks in the name of? If the fatter, heavier image is traditionally associated with the 'feminine' body, and the slim, small breasted is traditionally 'androgynous', then what are you arguing against? You make out that somehow the dominant idea of women is as size 8 sex pot and that that needs to be overturned, yet now you're claiming the 'traditional' feminine body is actually exactly the type of female body that you think should be called feminine. So does that mean that your just whining about nothing... or what? Shouldn't it actually be the skinnier women going "I'm a grown woman and I'm fecund too, you fat fucks" and claiming that "fat fuck" is just the sort of insult fat women should have to put up with in the course of addressing the idea that it's not just fleshier women that should be considered adult, childbearing, whatever.

I'm sure some women would object to the idea of a "physically protective" male partner, in that it implies they are "the weaker sex".
Posted by H1ppychick (Member # 529) on :
Now you're just stirring. My point was that it's a subconscious desire to be the protector, to be the hunter-gatherer, not a conscious belief that women are weaker.
On the other hand yes, women are generally physically weaker. No value judgement associated with that at all.

Posted by scrawny (Member # 113) on :
I think the thing that got everyone's backs up about this whole debate (which Kovacs later admitted, typically, was just 'for yuks') was the statement that MEN (not women) generally have a preference for the 'svelte size 8' to which kovacs refers, and that size 12 is a 'chubbier size' and therefore less preferable, so men looking for hot dates on the internet can filter off all us chubby ladies quickly and easily. Joking or not, weight's a pretty sensitive issue and always gets a reaction.
However..both NWOD and I pointed out very quickly that different people look better at different sizes, which was then repeated here:
quote:Originally posted by kovacs: What if a girl is a dinky 5'1 in height. Are you saying she would look like an Ethiope, if she was a size 8?
Here:
quote:I don't really feel size 12 is chubby. However, I don't think size 8 has to be abnormally bony either.
Here:
quote:I also don't agree that a petite woman with a size 8 figure would look like a child.
Here:
quote: I have asked a real-live woman and established that Modge is 5'9 and size 8-10. Some of you have met or seen images of Modge. She does not have bones sticking out of her or look like she's starving.
Here:
quote:Originally posted by Thorn Davis: It's completely possible to suggest that a size 14 is attractive without adding that size 8 girls look like half starved kids
And here:
quote:Originally posted by OJ: I don't agree that all size 8 women look like children so don't lump me into that one either.
I don't think London was trying to suggest all size 8 women look like children. I think she was being about as serious in suggesting that Kovacs likes his women to look like children as Kovacs was suggesting that size 12 women are chubby and therefore not worth a man's time.
My two cents...

Someone said "Which Blue Posts are you going to?" and I said "the one down from Raymond's Review bar, next to Waxy's Little Sister. That's a pub, not a 12 year old hooker." Total silence.

Following Fionnula's order, I stripped off my shirt and began to contort my body into all manner of unusual shapes. I picked up the camera and pondered how best to set the scene.
Natural light or halogen? Colour or monochrome? A backdrop of white or of deep red?
After some moments of deliberation, everything was ready. I grasped the camera in hand, semi-reluctant to take the shot. Half-afraid of how it might look on screen. If the mirror can be a cruel judge, the IXUS is judge, jury and executioner. My finger paused momentarily over the power button as a slideshow of nightmare images flashed through my head - disconnected limbs, broken bones, emaciated torsos and gluttonous, distended stomachs.
Pushing these disturbing scenes deep down, I finally built up the courage to depress the tiny rectangular button marked On/Off.

I'm tall and fairly broad so I can get away with it until I slouch. My diet goes from great to terrible - depending on if I'm working or not (when I tend to graze).
