[QUOTE="Lil, post: 753147, member: 17309"] Okay...I'll join in. Reading these, I'm pretty sure I'm the Amazon of the group. 5'10" and I won't put my weight in writing, but I'm sure my doctor's chart labels me as "morbidly obese". I once lost 100 lbs. I was still overweight. I gained it back. :( Unlike most "plus sized" ladies, I have NO BOOBS! Well, not NONE, but pretty darn small in proportion! This has always annoyed me. Bra shopping is a nightmare. I carry my weight mostly below the waist, but with a generous amount in my arms - which is just unfair. If I have to have a bunch of lard above the waist why couldn't it be on my chest! But, I think it's fair to say that I'm proof there's someone for everyone...after all, I've always been big and once I hit college I always dated (even a few good ones) and married (the second time) to the best man ever! I have kind of golden skin- maybe you'd consider it light olive? - not pale, not dark but I don't really tan well. At least I'm not one of those very pale fat ladies that look like bread dough thanks to my darker complexion. LOL I've actually been complemented many times on my complexion, even without makeup, and the fact that at 56 I have very few wrinkles. I think it's because the fat plumps them out. :) See...not all bad! My eyes are brown. I've been told they're pretty, but I don't see it mostly because I wear glasses. Luckily, they make my eyes look bigger, instead of smaller! My hair is brown and liberally sprinkled with white - not gray, not silver, but [I]really[/I] white. I have large chunks of solid white at both temples and a smaller one at the part to go with the salt and pepper everywhere else. I get my hair cut about twice a year whether I need it or not. :p I usually get a layered bob, but asymmetrical - longer on one side than the other. Then I let it grow out until I can't stand it.
