Up and down weight, thoughts?

[Anonymous]

I've always been skinny, but since college I've bounced from 30 pounds on and 30 pounds off. I never had stress problems, and I found in college that food was a pick me up and a comfort. I'm still attractive to guys, because being 5"10 and 160lbs rather than 130lbs is I guess better in some ways, but for me I don't feel attractive when I'm heavier, tho it's perceived as curvier. It's my senior year and I'm back to the curvy thing again. Put on the weight since October.

So what do guys think? If you meet a girl and see photos of her on FB that are like majority skinny body and now she's curvy? Do you worry that she'll be fat one day, or that she's not a good idea to be around? What do you read into the weight? Does it project instability, lack of impulse control, disgust?

You're back to more or less skinny weight now, right? Look at your arms around the bicep area. Do you see them slightly fatty and rounded? Or are they skinny? If they are on a fuller side you should know you're somewhat genetically predisposed to gain weight later on in life. Nothing to fret about, just to keep in mind and form the right exercise and eating habits.

30lbs up and down again is a LOT of variation to put your body through, as it puts more stress on those collagen strands and skin and supporting ligaments and tissues. You basically want to avoid this as it can accelerate visually perceived aging and increase chance and impact of cellulite.

160lbs gets you by in the White Castle States of America but any guy who is well traveled at 5'10, or any one involved in photography or fashion or theatre / performing arts, will find you porky.

Get back to your preferred weight and stay there for life, girl, with healthy food choices and exercise.

I wouldn't read anything into it, & I'd actually like the curvy, but my BFF gained weight & got cirvier & went up a few sizes, & I didn't notice till she told me. It was so well distributed, all I saw was the same beautiful girl. The amount of weight you said & the way you describe it, I probably wouldn't know you gained weight...

it's completely normal to gain wait when you get to college.. all the stress, comfort eating, lack to time to gym, more drinking, snaking constantly while studying etc.. it's part of college life, so don't be so hard on yourself for gaining weight - it happens to pretty much everyone I know. I gained like 15 pounds when I started collage.

If you're not happy with your weight you should go to the gym to tone up and cut back of bad foods. I have a friend in my class who's absolutely beautiful, but she doesn't realize it because she's so insecure about her weight but all the guys drool over her because she's stunning with amazing curves. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should be confident about yourself and not worry about what anyone else thinks. You have to love yourself first. Any shallow guy who dismisses you because of your weight doesn't deserve to be with you.

Girl look you have two options embrace you curves or hit the gym. The way I see it as long as you are happy with what you look like and who you are as a person you will be fine. Do not let other people be the judge of what you should look like. As far as weight gain and loss, figure out the pattern and avoid who or whatever it is that's stressing you out. Last but not least curves are not disgusting.

i would say just because of your size I would prefer the thinner one. I mean 5'10 is big, and it is my humble opinion that weighing more would just make you look bigger. That may be great for some guys, but not my style. I wouldn't worry that much about her being fat later, but I would second guess her self control. I do not mean to be offensive in any way, that's just imho, hope it helped
