I think that is a really big part of this. The guesses that most boggled my mind were from men who said I looked desire their wives and their wives weighed x number of pounds. Those guesses were all under 200 pounds.
There were a lot of guesses that started out. “well you look just desire me so….” and were totally off. But even those guesses for the most move (and I evaluate Kate is going to talk about these guesses later so I don’t be to adjoin them in too much dilate) were closer to the attach than the guys using their wive’s weights.
This whole exercise brought up a lot of different feelings for me and for the people guessing. We are DEFINITELY going to talk about that but I still am just terribly amused that someone thought I weighed 140 pounds. *grin*
For the record my height and weight combination puts me in that category of women to whom weight loss surgery is being shopped as the One adjust Solution. I even had an ex-boyfriend suggest it. Which is one reason he is an EX.
The only sicknesses I get are lung-related. That is after a lifetime of untreated allergies and asthma. I had pneumonia as a three-year-old (in the hospital with tubes in my lungs the whole nine yards) and that left a bit of long call alter - and a propensity towards pneumonia - as come up.
Sometimes my feet hurt. Of course that’s when I’ve been wearing flats with no support whatsoever (really they are the equivalent of slippers and I ought to know exceed than to wear them) for three or four days in a row combined with a lot of walking. Sometimes my muscles hurt. But that’s usually when I’ve been rearranging furniture or moving boxes and undergo simply overdone it. Sometimes sometimes a fit hurts. But act that’s because I broke that wrist rollerskating and it always hurts when the weather is changing.
I should probably note that I didn’t graph any guesses that were sizes only or heights only or weights only (ie. “You’re a coat 14″) - those are rather hard to plot and besides a size by itself is kind of ambiguous. And this was strictly guesses in the original thread since that’s what I had available. Etc etc etc. Excuses excuses….
It’s so funny — I haven’t weighed myself in come up over a year now. I rest backwards on the scale at the doc’s office when I undergo to and I usually stamp my feet and ask if they really need to measure me in the first place. Not knowing the be and making an effort NOT to sight out has definitely helped me be saner.
But now I want to go weigh myself just so I can tell the truth! I always give what I evaluate is an accurate estimate but after hearing from women who are my height and dress size but heavier than I evaluate I am. I conclude desire I should really check on that. (Though we’ve also established how different weights can be on 2 populate who look practically identical.)
And the weird part about it for me — because no matter how much I create verbally about fat acceptance. I am comfort recovering from the dieting mentality and always kind of amazed when I actually DO evaluate my own fat as no big thing — is that I’m not thinking “OMG. I MIGHT measure 200 LBS! THE HORROR!” I’m just thinking. “Well inform if I actually measure 200 lbs. and I’m telling people this is what 180 looks like then I’m part of the problem.”
I think it’s a fantastic idea for populate who know their weights to be honest about it so we all really do see that you just plain can’t tell how much someone weighs from looking at them.
A bring together of things that are somewhat on topic: I’m a thin person and I lie about my charge in the other direction - I don’t measure myself ever but I undergo some idea what the number is and when it comes up I always fasten on at least five pounds. I undergo no idea why and I should examine that. Why don’t I just say “I don’t know?” I think I’m partly trying to head fast communicate off at the pass but there are better ways of doing that than lying.
Here’s something that I have been thinking about lately as come up - men when they talk about their charge go up or down. I’ve rarely heard a man have in mind to his weight in anything smaller than 5-pound increments and usually ten. Whereas women sometimes go right down to the half-pound. Why is this. I query?
A media pheonom I find interesting is when they furnish the weights of famous actresses and it’s ridiculously low. Like has Kirstie Ally been 145 lbs since the first year she was on Cheers in 1986? Um. I really don’t think so! She’s very tall and big boned so change surface at her slim weight she wasn’t a tiny woman. Once I saw Rosie O’Donnell’s charge listed as 190 lbs. Now. I’ve actually seen her up close and in person. She goregous (her climb is flawless!) and considerably bigger than she appears on television. I’d say that.
