I've always been the "smart" friend, never the "hot" friend...But now, I'm becoming more comfortable in my own skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-55308 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:19:37 +0000 mrsjyw 55308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I've always wanted to be athletic/fit (I've never been) and was always pining to get more muscular... My teeth have always been an issue with me... *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-55273 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:27:28 +0000 mrstilly 55273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some really bad eating/dieting habits between 11th grade and my Jr year of college, but I was pretty thin and in good shape; I just didn't see it at the time. If I had to chose between those eating/dieting habits and my weight now, I'd pick my weight now. Exercising really helped me to change my habits and get healthier. </p> <p>Right now I'm about 40 pounds heavier than I was when I started college. I look at those pictures now and wish I realized how awesome I looked back then (minus the blonde in a ox hair - what was I thinking?). Although I didn't have a job or a baby, so I had plenty of time to bike and run, which I don't have much time for now. That's what I miss most about being a student - the flexible schedule that gave me time during the day to run and mtn bike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-55261 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:18:42 +0000 tequiero21 55261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's just human nature to feel insecurities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54950 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:41:20 +0000 BSB 54950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I did but I was able look past them. I didn't let it put me down. I understood that no one is perfect and so I embraced my insecurities. I still have insecurities that comes up when I'm feeling down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54903 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:34:13 +0000 pastemoo 54903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL&gt; I used to be really thin, and was super insecure. Then I gained a bunch of weight (over 5+ years). Then I lost the weight slowly but purposefully.<br /> When I reached my goal weight range, I was so thrilled and I felt beautiful!<br /> I had some insecurities, but they were more about learning to carry myself, and not about my body.</p> <p>And then I got pregnant and all my insecurities are back full force.</p> <p>so in answer to your questions--initially I didn't appreciate being in good shape because I had never been anything else, but after I worked for it, I felt really wonderful about my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54834 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:12:08 +0000 photojane 54834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm still waiting for my peak hotness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54827 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:09:58 +0000 cupcakemama 54827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm. I was in great shape late high school but was fairly insecure, in the way that 18 year olds usually are.</p> <p>I was in the best shape of my life at age 38. I met and married my DH and trained for and ran 2 marathons. The advantage of hitting your stride at that age? You know it! I was in love, I qualified for the Boston marathon and my body was sleek, toned and strong. I felt amazing! Now slowly working my way back to that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54764 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:10:13 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 54764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always struggled with my weight, so even when I was at my peak, I thought I needed to be more toned, especially in my stomach and thighs. I think a lot of it had to do with me comparing myself to other people - especially my trainer friends. </p> <p>Now, if I get back there again after having this baby, I won't take it for granted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54726 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:56:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 54726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still insecure about the size of my breasts at the time. And every summer I think I'm too pale for a bikini. I still struggle with the paleness thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54722 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:53:19 +0000 polkadots 54722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought I had wide hips., It didn't help that I have a very short torso and high hips. Now after a few years and a baby.... I really know what wide hips are ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54705 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:38:13 +0000 Sha 54705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was extremely insecure at peak hotness. i think i knew it was a temporary situation in my life that could change at any time. it took me forever to leave the house even to run errands and I would avoid making plans or seeing people if i felt slightly off my hotness game at any time - very very lame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54700 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:36:31 +0000 DillonLion 54700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my peak hotness I had the most disordered ideas about what was beautiful. It definitely wasn't the happiest time in my life AT ALL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54675 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:17:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 54675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i definitely did. there is a picture of me in a bikini floating around in cyberspace that i freaked out about my friend putting on facebook because i thought i looked "fat." i remember literally thinking i had ten more pounds to lose at the time.<br /> now, looking back, i realize that if i was any smaller or more toned, i would have looked silly. being 5'7, 125 lbs is not a lot to weigh (what I weighed at the time). I wonder if I knew back then that in only two short years I would be 150. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54672 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:14:48 +0000 heffalump 54672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course I had some insecurites. But during this time I could wear a bathing suit actually feel good about myself and my body.</p> <p>I look back at pictures of myself in high school, I was so thin then, and I remember thinking I was fat. I think part of you peak hotness time (Mine was when I was 25) for me also meant that I felt good about myself. I guess I think it's also hot to have a good self esteem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-at-your-peak-hotness-did-you-still-have-insecurities#post-54664 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:10:49 +0000 mrbee 54664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was really interesting in that other thread that people were saying that even at their peak hotness, they still had insecurities.</p> <p>The summer after college, I ran out of money so I lost a lot of weight (poverty ftw!). I ended up losing 20 pounds or so and had a great tan. I was thinnest I've ever been in my life, but I remember thinking though that I wanted to put on some extra muscle, and maybe lose a little more weight too.</p> <p>I guess I'm not capable of being happy. That said, if I had that body back, I would be deliriously happy for a few days at least. :-)</p> <p> At your "peak hotness", did you still have insecurities? </p>
