...And I do.
I am built almost exactly like Tamilee Webb, so she was essentially mocking my build to. my. face. She makes little snide comments like this ALL the time. She weighs less than I do and is 4.5" taller than I am...and she whines that she is "fat," even though she is at the ideal weight for her height and build and has almost 30 years on me.

I hate people like that! Always "complaining" about how fat they are when they are clearly in their ideal range or even underweight. Women like that have a need for attention. Pathetic way to get it especially at other's espense. I think you rock!

Aww...thanks, Shell! I console myself with the fact that at least I have big boobies to help distract from my big legs and booty...
Oh Mighty Wing
ShanHas: I agree that there might be a weight that our body is comfortable at but I don't agree it's ever a weight where we carry excess fat. When I was a runner 10 years ago, I was about 145lbs (or maybe less actually, can't remember). I was never a waif. I was strong enough to piggyback my 210 lbs husband. Now that I'm 200lbs, I'm not as strong (but getting there) and I'm much slower. I worked back up to being able to run for 4 or 5 miles and enjoy it. It's a long way back.
And zoomy - you are beautiful!! forget your MIL - you could run circles around her!!

Damn lithe and runnerly types...
Bummer about your MIL Zoom. Mine has made a few comments in the past about how thin she was in her teens and 20's. (example: there was still plenty of space between her thighs when she stood with her feet together...) I just smile and ignore it. Muscle looks better on everybody when the alternative is bony looking skin. Yuck! If I ever have to look as "fat" as Tamilee - I'll have the biggest smile on my face!
