Now, after two babies, I am 135. Am I happy with it? Not always. Right after baby #2 I was technically overweight. I had to bust my ass to lose just 20 pounds, and I've stayed where I am. I fill out my jeans now, but I wouldn't mind being a little thinner.
You're no cow, and I wouldn't classify you as overweight, even if by the numbers you are. And you'd be surprised how little girls care about that anyway. After all, many *most* of us are too.
That sounds a little below what I would be looking for as far as in a woman.
I agree. I think it is better to be "overweight" rather than one of those women or men that force themselves to be twigs. Those of you here who are that way, it is fine as long as you aren't forcing yourself to be that way.
My mom, as you could see in our vacation photos, is in no way fat, but she continues to think that she is and complains when she gets on the scale and has gained even one pound.
