funny body shape



Recommended Posts

after reading several posts about body shape, apple, pear, hourglass...i decided that none of those really describe my shape. as i was getting out of the shower this morning it came to me!

i am the shape of a snake that swallowed a basketball. but only if you are viewing from the front, as i have no rear! quite funny i think. thinner up top and the legs, larger in the belly. my husband didnt think i was very funny as i was explaining it to him, but i sure got a good laugh. which for me is a change because it bothers me so much!

anyone else have a humorous body shape explaination?

I think i would describe my funny body shape as a pregnant spider! Thin in the face and legs. I carry all my weight from my boobs down to my bikini line.

While I'm probably considered an "apple" I describe myself as a Tomato on toothpicks.

I've got great legs...but up on top...not so good. My husband would beg to differ because he likes my you-know-what's, but my stomach, ugh. Lord have mercy. I feel like I swallowed a tire.

May 13th cannot come soon enough.

Lol at the snowman....

The larger I get, the more pear shaped I am, but growing up I was always told I had a 24 hours glass figure. Curvy, but I bit bigger than the other girls. I always took it as a compliment.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
