Growing up (actually I am still "growing up", but anyhow..) I was always very much in shape (dance classes really do pay off). And in high school I developed these great breasts. lol
In high school I always received comments about my boobs....so because the guys made me feel insecure about them (I think boys joke about things they really appreciate), I tend to cover them up ALL THE TIME. I never flaunt them and never wear revealing clothes...
Ok, back to body image...after I got married I gained a lot of weight (I never get on a scale, so I couldn't tell ya how much, but I have gone up 4 sizes in 2 years). I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS and one of the issues behind it is weight gain.
Unfortunately I have "heavy" genes. While my mother has an awesome body, my biological sperm donor (he is NOT my father) is heavy as well as his family. I guess I am destined to be fat someday, but until then I will continue to work out and not allow PCOS to get the best of me. I am still very firm and have wonderful legs, I just now have this stomach that I can't seem to get rid of.
I am rambling and don't think I even answered your question...sorry.
My parents never ragged on me after I gained my weight, nor did/does my husband. All I can say is that I live in South Texas where everyone is heavy and I guess that's a good thing (for me anyways).
