I was always skinny and in my younger days, boys would not look twice at me because I did not have a big butt. I am so sorry that people are so rude and offensive to you. I know its hard, but try to ignore them. Some people in their ignorance, probably think they are complimenting you. Hold your head up and know that you are beautiful, curves, big ol butt and all. I am now following your blog. I love following bloggers who are authentic and have something to say.LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581328842144972694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405241408474524179.post-6196089089038578912012-07-19T17:28:56.910-07:002012-07-19T17:28:56.910-07:00It's good to know there are others who share s...It's good to know there are others who share same experiences...except for the fact that it just not a good experience for anyone.

It's good to know that you try to keep other people's comments in perspective. People tend to say stupid things about anything from body shape to having kids to other people's love lives. Keep your chin up and your positive perspective.Destrehan's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290026646001828215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405241408474524179.post-28113896374775863202012-07-19T07:01:23.463-07:002012-07-19T07:01:23.463-07:00Thank you for stopping by my blog!

I'm glad that it seems there are people out there who actually taking the time to read what I wrote! :)<br /><br />I have to giggle while browsing your blog, because we are similar yet the opposite! I've been tall and stick thin my whole life, totally flat, yet with butt! That's why I can never wear pencil skirt. I love my butt, and my husband, too, but I don't want too much attention directed to my rear! And yeah, people could be very annoying without meaning to do it, if you know what I mean. Just being unthoughtful, like saying all the time: "You're so skinny! You should eat more!"<br /><br />Luckily, as get older and a little bit wiser, I've come to embraced my body shape, just like you did!<br /><br />All those gorgeous models and Victoria's Secret angels are lovely to look at, and polished perfection being shown in magazines can serve as a good, positive inspiration, as long as we keep things in perspective. <br /><br />Visit me:<br />LeeAnne, Style N Season<br />http://stylenseason.blogspot.comLeeAnne, Style N Seasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618450483271831907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405241408474524179.post-67602519871374892392012-07-18T17:54:08.552-07:002012-07-18T17:54:08.552-07:00Thank you for your sweet compliment!

I'm trying to embrace them but it's not easy. <br /><br />YOU are absolutely beautiful, both inside and out, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to "get to know" you.

Once when a man made a comment to the effect of "what would it take to get you to agree to a night of ecstasy" (I had just met him) my response was "the right man". It was a very public retort because he chose to make this invitation in a public venue. He understood from my tone and my response that he was definitely not the right man, and I think he felt like a fool, being rebuffed in public.<br /><br />I never want to be rude, but I do want to discourage comments. The funny thing is, that the comments, questions and remarks are not limited to just males..or just males from any particular ethnicity. Women can be just as rude. Do you know the song "baby got back" ? In the beginning of that song...the words spoken by the girls are words that I have hear more than once. There are times when I just play it off and ignore it...sometimes that's best. I would love to see a return to some level of respectful etiquette though...this 'say what's on your mind' manner of relating to others is unhealthy at best.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137528629664671846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405241408474524179.post-3633566051259006532012-07-17T20:21:00.975-07:002012-07-17T20:21:00.975-07:00My youngest daughter receives similar comments and...My youngest daughter receives similar comments and she attracts a lot of attention from a certain ethnic group of males. She's learned to be very sassy about it.

I definitely need to amp up the exercise and cut out some of the yummies I'm addicted to; the bread and cheese and the chocolate (at least the volume of it that I eat). I know I need to fill up on veggies...I'm working on that! It's not so easy.

Hard to overcome body anxiety when there are constant comments.

Sorry that you have to go through those comments. It is a great thing that you are continuing to be active and embracing who you are. My whole adult and teen age life I've dealt with weight issues. It wasn't until about 8 months ago that I had an epithany and I changed the way I looked at food. I was never a big eater but it was what I was eating that was wrong. I always thought that eating healthy was eating whole grains and low fat foods...boy was I ever wrong!!!! I've given up wheat and processed foods and I feel like a new person. If you ever feel like you'd like to know more, just shoot me an email. I wish I would have done this 20 years ago:)<br /><br />BTW, you look very lovely in your dress:))Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405241408474524179.post-90781226030621141182012-07-17T18:00:02.223-07:002012-07-17T18:00:02.223-07:00Hi Lisa,

Finding pants that fit the waist, hips, AND thighs sometimes feels like an exercise in futility. God bless a-line skirts and dresses for us pear shapes. Fortunately, I have never been subjected to the type of rude comments you've experienced. Sadly, there is always some ill-mannered schmuck out there who thinks it's perfectly acceptable to make comments about someone's body shape. Thanks for sharing this story. And bravo for loving your body despite the comments people make!Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
