You are fortunate. Lesson to all: Be happy with the body God gave you. I am sure you are a beautiful woman. It is just that those of us who are curvy have been put down for so long. We have been forced to diet ourselves into the ground to feel "normal" when we actually are just the way God made us. We aren't obese, we are just curvy.
I wish capriole could walk a mile in my shoes. Try being 'curvy' and single and you'll get ignored by the average male on the street (at least that's how it is in New York to me). That's why I had to find myself a man who is above average! Having said that, I try not to be jealous of anyone thinner than me. I accepted my slot in the social pecking order and then walked away to do my own thing. Being model thin and morbidly obese are not in my plans for looking thirty when I'm 100 :-)
