I am a little toasty. Do you guys watch Hung on HBO? Did anyone else roll their eyes at Anne Heche saying she's a four because it's been hard since her divorce? I wanted to smack her for using a size 4as a "fat girl" size. F you, crazytown.

Someone come rub my calves so I can fall asleep, pls. There's cake in it for you...

lol what

I'm small in every way except thigh length, and I'm an American 4. I wish I could find more size 4's in the stores, because I just find 3's or 5's and sometimes I have to make do with 6's


I'll just leave this pic of "plus-size" model Crystal Renn here. yeah larger size pride

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm a 4-6 (us) and i was baffled by it. Whut?? And si e she looked like I did when I was a 10. Which isn't the point, but you get my point

I'm currently trying to figure out if Keith olberman is married because I want to ravish him. Lol.

[dovil.livejournal.com]

Plus size?! I just thought she looked healthy. That is one warped industry.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

indeed.

[rilee16.livejournal.com]

She is healthy, and fucking gorgeous. Crystal's current size is actually her basic, healthy size. When she was discovered at 14 she lost about a third of her normal body weight to go into "normal" modeling; she got to around 92-95 lbs or so at 5'9", had an eating disorder, the whole nine. Her skin started to turn gray, her hair started to come out in clumps, and if you can find one of her old pictures, her eyes didn't have a lot of life to them. When she decided she needed to up her weight again at around 17, she actually became way more successful, money-wise and actual job opportunity-wise, than she'd been when she was starving herself.

God, she is beautiful.

[rilee16.livejournal.com]

Have you seen her nudes? (I don't mean this in a sleazy way) I was googling her and randomly came across a few gorgeous, damn sexy black and white photos; great lighting, loved her angles, beautiful curves, and she just seemed so confident in her own skin.

[cappy.livejournal.com]

No, I did google but found no nudes, just a bunch more GORGEOUS photos of her.

She reminds me, her body shape & the obvious The Camera Loves Her of my daughter who is 19. She is drop dead gorgeous, makes men stop & do double takes, but she is not & never will be lower than a size 12 or 13. But it isn't fat. She runs a mile & half (at least) a day, plays tennis every day, worked as a Cave tour guide this summer & is very physically fit & active~~ but she is just curvy & gorgeous. And she is HAPPY with her body because she knows she kicks ass & it's sad more women don't realize the numbers don't MATTER whether they are on the jeans you are buying or the scale you're standing on. If you are healthy & gorgeous, then you are healthy & GORGEOUS.

I tried to post the links, but following them from here resizes them smaller than the copies I could find actually are.

Do a Yahoo search under Images, "Crystal Renn", and they'll come up in the results.

I cannot wait to get toasty with you next week!!!

My internet connection is driving me batty. OMG STOP DISAPPEARING AT RANDOM.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo!!!

I will kick your internets in the nuts if you want!

[lynnenne]

Nah, that will just give it an excuse to call in sick tomorrow.

[dovil.livejournal.com]

A size 4 is a size 8 in New Zealand and it's normally the SMALLEST size you can get in mainstream shops. The average person is a 12 - 16 (US 8 - 12).

So basically she can take her size 4 and eat it with cheese melted on top.

A little toasty - I thought you meant you were feeling warm - of course I should have realised it was booze related, ahahaha! LOVES

[denymemandi.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't love melted cheese?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE IT MEANT BOOZE. And man, since I dropped weight from all of that exercising, I can't hold my liquor any more. YES I COULD TOO AT ONE POINT, SHUT IT. Hahahaha.

And size 4 is SMALL. It's so aggravating that the writers did that when UP UNTIL THEN it had been a fairly woman-friendly show. As much as a show about a male prostitute could be, that is. Lol.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

As a 5' size 10, I just choked on my beer.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

As a (former) size 14, I was looking for heavy things to smack the writers with.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I was right there with you. ::rolls eyes:: Oh, horrors, not a too fucking small to be a toothpick size 4.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

And they try to emphasize how DUMPY she is by putting saggy bras and unflattering cardigans on her to make her hips and belly look huge.

EXCUSE ME. What? And it had been so healthy-woman-body centric up until then!

[fabrisse.livejournal.com]

But I can't eat cake, it might make me a giant sized 4!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Quick, eat some packing peanuts to maintain your healthy size -86!

[milaya36.livejournal.com]

Wait, 4 is fat? Well, fuck. Guess 10 is corpulent then.

Whatever. First day of grad school classes tomorrow, and I'm drunk too. Good times.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If Anne Heche is ACTUALLY a size 4, I'll eat my hat. Which will, of course, make me fat. Because it's a hat made out of bacon.

HAVE A GOOD DAY AT SCHOOL! *writes you an uplifting note on a napkin with a doodle*

[cappy.livejournal.com]

I think someone needs to remind Anne that some of us can actually do X & not end up at a stranger's house, raving like a lunatic, yapping about Aliens & shit.

You know, like THOSE OF US AT A NORMAL HEALTHY WEIGHT NOT PRETENDING TO BE TINKERBELL.

(I'm a 10. Sometimes an 8. I have no desire to be any thinner than this because any thinner than this & I wouldn't KICK ASS. I'd put Anne across the room & out a wall if I decked her for some reason. Which would probably be to do with us having a conversation about her being a Size 4 & feeling FAT.)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahaha. I KNOW, RIGHT? (Every time I look at her I think of Ellen with her and wonder HOW THE HELL THAT HAPPENED.)

And in the first place, I HIGHLY DOUBT that Anne Heche is a 4. The woman has big boobs and hips, one. And two, SCREW YOU, WRITERS, for putting a label on her, and one that is RIDICULOUS at that. Pfft.

And I dropped dress sizes while getting kick-ass fit, but I didn't lose much WEIGHT. Because these guns *flexes biceps* weigh more than flabby skin bags. Lol. WHATEVER, HBO.

[cappy.livejournal.com]

I weigh approximately 15 to 20 lbs more than anyone ever guesses me; it's a constant battle of the flab now that I'm 45, but nobody gets me weight right because muscle weighs more than fat & I can weigh & sound heavy to someone who isn't looking at me, but be in 2 sizes smaller jeans than them. It's just how it is. I nearly killed myself with anorexia/bulemia in my 20s because I let the damn scale matter. At my lowest I was 119 lbs. And I was a size TWO. At 119 lbs 5'6". Everyone guessed me at 100-105. Right now I'm having problems staying under 140 due to the early menopause BULLSHIT & I'm a size 8 & a 10 on my fat days. I hate the damn numbers mattering. I don't even LOOK when they weigh me at the doctor's office now & that's the only time I weigh. I don't care & can't let myself care about those particular numbers. What matters is my resting pulse, my blood pressure, my clothing size <~~ those are the important numbers.

And OMG, the baggy arms thing. I've got to work on my triceps. It just gets harder & harder & harder to have the energy to do all this shit, actually to go ANYTHING. All I want to do is sleep lately.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Okay, one of my P90X tricep exercises is the BOMB at working them out, and quickly, too.

Lay on your right side. Put your left hand on the floor at your armpit, and hold your shoulder with your right hand to get it out of the way. Push up, trying to get to where your arm is straight. Go back down without touching the ground and repeat to exhaustion. 15 on each side is pretty bad ass. Knock those out and some chair dips a few times a day and you'll have Michelle Obama guns. ;)

[cappy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would do it. I do pushups & lift 20 lbs weights back behind my head for 50 reps, but it's just not cutting it now. I'll try that. thanks.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If you want to do a new kind of pushup that works new parts of your muscles (muscle confusion is where the definition is at, bb) get in normal push up pose, but instead of your hands directly under your shoulders, put your elbows there, and your hands out, so you look like a sphinx.

Now. Push up with your hands, then ease back down to your elbows. ho.lee. shit. Those are rough. (Then put your feet on a chair and do standard push ups right after - that will work all kinds of new places in your shoulders, chest, and tris.)

[gabzilla.livejournal.com]

I hurt just reading that....

[zyrya]

And if I rub cake into you?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I will leave my life and follow you, gardening for you and making homemade bread.

[soundingsea.livejournal.com]

Judging by Anne Heche's normal appearance, maybe this was supposed to mean that the stress made her *lose* weight? Because um, yeah. There's no way she's under a 4 in the first place. Also, 4 is SMALL, yo.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Well, they did say that she "used to be a 2, but because of the stress from her divorce, etc." So, no, they meant she'd gotten out of shape and hit the undesirable 4 mark.

UM.

Please point me in the direction of the person I need to slap, thanks.

[maybe1ce.livejournal.com]

Damn. That was my thought, too...I know that when my parents got divorced, my mom was so stressed she couldn't eat, and she got WAY skeletal. But, she BALOONED from a 2 to a 4? And the statement wasn't played as evidence that she was a messed up individual? Damn, I say, again.

Also: Where does one obtain a Gen-yew-ine hat o' bacon? Because I need one.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Size 4 is fat? I don't watch and it's a good thing, cause I would have gone postal.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was this throwaway line towards the end that just pissed me off.

[gabzilla.livejournal.com]

Oh, completely unrelated, but saw this today and thought you might likey: Make your own limoncello

Because, hell yeah, it is motherfucking booze time!

IT IS ALWAYS MOTHERFUCKING BOOZE TIME, WHOOOO!

[blairprovence.livejournal.com]

I had to get a physical for work today, and I was a little bit psyched because after 6 months of Jazzercise, I'm 15 pounds down, nicely defined and can wear a loose 10 or a regular twelve. I have hips and boobs and am 5 feet 11 inches tall....and the 5 foot 2 inch tiny lady doctor listed me as heavy/obese. Without checking body fat or anything.

headdesk

Despite what the supermodels might tell you, it's not healthy to be six feet tall and 125 pounds!!!!

And what's with the mall, anyway? Who exactly is wearing all the extra small size 2 stuff they have on the racks? What's with only ordering five in size 12?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Okay. Your doctor is a jackass. (I had one of those, too, in my last pregnancy that chastised me for gaining 30 pounds in my pregnancy. UM.)

Loose 10? Honey, you're smaller than Marilyn Monroe, now, and how hot was SHE? (Men like something to grab on to, true facts.) GOOD FOR YOU. You're fit, you're hale, and you look like a woman! Sounds like you're doing everything right.
