When you have even the slightest amount of Mexican genes, you get the latina body as well, I suppose. I'm from a line of curvy women. And actually, I'm really okay with curvy. I figure it makes me a real woman in some way.
I'm under 5' tall so while curvy is good, chubs is not. I have usually hovered around 95. My adult low was 89 when I returned from Brasil. My adult high was about 97lbs, after I came back and started eating again. I dropped back down to 92 when I was rowing, running and not eating a lot pre-tonsilectomy (because I could barely swallow anything more than soup and mashed potatoes). Today, I am 110. I'm definitely heavier than I want to be and nothing in my wardrobe really fits. Except maybe jeans and t-shirts and loose fitting dresses and jumpers. I particularly like the empire wasted items in my closet right now.
But I've really come to terms with my body shape. Sure, I should probably drop at least 10 pounds and I'd be happier if I lost 15, but I'm a shapely little bitty chica. I don't need to be stick skinny. Oh, and I actually now have ahem, bosoms. I was informed that if I talk about being 110lbs, that tall people would assume I have an eating disorder. Well, sorry, tall people, I'm not going to stop talking about my weight just to make you comfortable. I do not have an eating disorder...unless you count enjoyment of eating things with full fat content such as cream and butter and bacon and pancetta. You will also be happy to know that I can't make myself throw up either. I just can't do it. Yes, I have tried. Just to see if I could, not because I wanted to be skinny.
I will be going to the gym to lose at least 10lbs and will be watching what I eat. I want to be healthy and active. I don't need to be a stick. And expect to hear a few updates from me.
