Other-poll poll What is your reaction when you see a heavy lady in a bikini at the beach?
(Other poll by aprilraine, 975 days ago)
I wish I had that much confidence! Rock on, Lady!
Maybe she should don a one piece... cover up a bit.
I am the heavy lady at the beach wearing a bikini.
I don't think anything, I just go about my business.

I think everyone`s idea of `heavy` differs. Who`s to say a heavy woman isn`t offended when a skinny girl walks around wearing a string bikini? Noone seems to care in this case. I am a heavy girl, I don`t wear a bikini, i wear a tankini, but to think just because someone else may not be comfortable with me in whatever i wear, is just as bad as discriminating, my dr says i am fine, then don`t worry about me, come and enjoy some of my snacks, you know i would have some. I HARDLY consider `heavy` people a `bad example`. Women are women, and especially most of us on this site, should be a bit more forgiving considering, we are trying, are, or have had babies, i HATE hearing how many women are so upset with their bodies after having babies, it`s really sad!!!

I think to myself... `Man, I wish I had as much confidence as them`!

i think it is great when people have confidence with their bodies and i see nothing wrong with a little `extra` weight. what i dont like seeing are people who are extremely, morbidly, VERY unhealthily obese walking around acting like it is NOT a problem. it is a problem. i feel the same way when i see someone who is unhealthily skinny, anorexic looking. i dont think it is being a good influence on other people and it concerns me that they dont care any more than that about their health. to me it isnt about looks as much as it is about being healthy and having a healthy looking body. i hope no one takes offense to this, i am not in any way trying to be offensive. i used to be way too skinny, i looked like i was either sick or had an eating disorder (i was neither). i was uncomfortable with my body bc i didnt look healthy. also, i could tell that some people would get umcomfortalbe when they saw me so it wasnt just me that was affected by my body. i did not like to walk around in really revealing clothing. after i had my baby i kept about 15 lbs of baby weight and now i look what i consider to be 'normal' and i wear a bikini happily now :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
