I'm not a small woman - check out our pics and you will see that neither Holly nor I am. We consider ourselves to be BBW - but we know that not everyone agrees with that 'title.' We are, for the most part, comfortable with who we are and what shape we are in. I am trying to lose some weight because of some knee issues, but not because of how I look. I know plenty of people who are bigger/smaller/same size as I am who are perfectly content with who they are and the shape they are in - and just as many who are bigger/smaller/same size and are miserable because they have been told their whole lives that it isn't good enough. I think that mostly, the fact that there are so many overweight people (men and women) in BDSM is because there are just so many overweight people around today. Another part of it is the perception that people involved in BDSM are more accepting (which, I think we are ... but only barely). However, with all that said - and with all of you knowing that I am not a small woman - I have to say that I went to a munch a few weeks ago, and was rather ... distressed ... to see that I was, by a good margin, the smallest woman there (there were 5 women there, including me). I know that down the road, if I don't lose more weight, that I will have some major health issues. I was also the youngest woman there, and with the two facts combined, I am concerned for the health of the other women (one of the side effect of my job - I worry about the health of everyone). All the women were attractive, but I just kept imagining the heart attacks and strokes and surgeries that are in the future for these women.
