Description
Everynow and then I go mad and think I might make a good model for stock photos.This is the result.
James (my ten year old son) took this one.
Please note me if you use.

*smiles* Well, I for one can say that once I have the time to dedicate to maniping for myself again I'll be using not only some of your other stock, but at least 1 or 2 of the images of yourself as they struck me as perfect for some projects I want to do when I saw them. ^-^ I hope that you'll post more stock of yourself! There aren't nearly enough...*shrugs* heavier set (couldn't think of any other way to put it...) stock models that are also attractive with stock that makes me want to use them. Maybe once I get a new camera I'll have to bug my best friend to pose for me for a few sets...add to a body type stock that there just isn't nearly enough of!

I know what you mean, and yes you are right, there isn't a lot. I suppose I tend to put up what I know people will use, and not too many use bigger women.

Yeah. I mean...in my drawn art I don't normally draw larger women...but that's mostly because when I try I fail misserably...Afterall, all my life my biggest models were myself and my sisters...and before I had my son I was a size 4 who had trouble gaining weight when I'd lose it while sick...my sisters are both tiny...so that's just the body type I actually know the best. Now...I'm not so tiny anymore...noplace near it, and realizing that I have an opurtunity to broaded my horizons in what I draw...but I still need more than jsut myself to model my drawing off of, you know? And there's jsut not enough good models of larger body types here for me to use as referances right now. Big can be beautiful too...and I want to express that in my art now once in a while at least...for now, I'll start out trying manips before attempting to do it in drawing again.

well maybe I'll get some more done too. I'm on an excercise kick trying to tone up and lose a lot of weight. But even at my thinnest I'm still big boned. You only have to look at my beautiful daughter who is far from being a stick - quite solid, but still gorgeous to see that not everyone is built with a tiny frame.

Yea. I've got a long time friend, one of my longest, actually, who is VERY big boned. She was NEVER a small girl...tall, and thickly solid. I've always thought she was pretty...even though others have said otherwise. *sighs* I love to go clothes shopping with her...until other girls in the store give me dirty looks...that part of being (once) a size 4 and going into plus size stores to go shopping with her always sucked. I never understood why people would react that way...I mean...I still found girls who were heavier to be pretty if they wanted to be. It's not like I was there to make them feel bad, you know? I was there to show my love and support for a friend, who hated clothes shopping alone because everything made her feel fat and ugly without someone there to tell her how good she looked in a lot of it. Sorry...rambling. Guess it's just a night for thinking back on the past, and friendships that I thankfully still have.

I've been into those shops and there is a LOT of camparing going on. I'm usually in the very low end of those shops and even I get dirty looks about 'what are you doing in here, you don't need bigger clothes'. I'm kind of in between actually. I find the upper ranges of the regular clothes can be tight and cling in the wrong places and the lower ranges of the plus size can be too big and baggy- sigh. I'm trying to exercise to lose 10kgs and when I do I can just shop in the regular clothes shops.

*nods* yeah. I really need to work hard to drop the baby weight...I mean...I'm really NOT expecting to get back down to a size 4 from the size 12 I'm at now...I know my body changed enough that having that as a goal is just not realistic...if it happens, I'll be in shock. But I'd like to get back down to a size 8...which is where I was as a teen, really. I dropped from there to a 4 when I went through a really hard summer...I basically went annorexic for close to a year...I'd go up to 3 or 4 days without eating anything, because I just wasn't getting hungry...then I'd woner why I was shaking, and light headed, and realize that I hadn't eaten anything in a few days...so I'd eat knowing I needed to, but still not actually FEELING hungry...that was one of the scariest points in my life...When your body starts shutting down because of a lack of being fed, but there is no sign of being hungry...you have to actually pay attention to when you eat to be sure you DO because that familiar feeling of 'I'm hungry, I should eat now' just isn't there...I never want to do THAT again...but after that...*shrugs* until I got pregnant, even when I was back to eating 3-4 times a day, and snacking more often than I should, I couldn't gaind the weight BACK, so I stayed a 4, at 110-115 pounds. I'll be happy to get back to being between 120-125 which is where I was at a size 8. Though...that's a long term goal...short term is just to get my tummy back to something more normal...not the loose semi fold it is now. You know, just to get really fit again, so that even at this weight I LOOK fit, and feel better, instead of feeling the ick that I do so much right now...of course...sleeping through the night will help that run down, tired ick too...

Being tired is my biggest obstacle to everything. My liver isn't fantastic, so I need heaps of sleep and I have to work REALLY hard to lose weight. I'm trying to exercise because I heard that if you do that the excess skin problem isn't so bad (I already have that post baby belly skin ... stupid stretch marks!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*laughs* I HATE stretch marks! *sighs* well, everyone tells you that being a mother is hard work...they just leave out all the hard work to get back into shape...

yeah! I just thought being fat was part of being a mother (when I looked at my mum - sorry ma)

lol my mom was a stick...4'10" and 80 pounds my whole life, unless she was pregnant...until she and my dad split the last time at least. Now she's up to, like 90...I think. I was always worried about being a stick like her...or really overwheight like so much of the rest of the relatives...

80 pounds? That's only 36 kilos!!!! My kids weight that much!

heh. yeah. she's a TINY woman. And her combination of borderline anorexia and smoking don't help. She has coffee in the morning, one meal during the day, and smokes between half a pack and a pack and a half a day depending on wether she has work or not...needless to say, my sisters and I learned what NOT to do by watching our mom.

I can't imagine only eating one meal a day.
yeah...talk about a good example of how to make yourself sick...a lot...and how to just not be healthy at all...
