There is such a high demand for women to be always put together, look healthy, skinny [yes there is a difference between healthy and skinny] and constantly at their best.
I'm pretty small, very petite, only 5'1" and even I find myself picking at my body. I inevitably keep telling myself "I'

m too fat here. I need to work out more. My cheeks are too big. My teeth aren't straight enough." And then it begins to affect my eating. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bulimic or anorexic. This isn't one of those posts. But today, while searching I stumbled upon
http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ and while reading it I've discovered that I've barely eaten today. In fact, this week, I've barely eaten at all. Today, all I've had to eat was a few cookies, a bite of chicken [seriously, just a bite] and a microwavable burrito. Not my healthiest day, I know. [Look, there I go again. Picking at myself to be healthy when I only weigh 106 pounds. I might be too skinny.]
But that's just some background information. The real point of this post is this.
I find myself on dates, eating very slowly and cautiously. I don't want to spill anything, yet I don't want to look fat in front of him. If I get a sandwich, I'll pick off the pieces. If its pizza, I eat the toppings first, then the bread. Pretty weird, I know. Some times I'll order something big and only finish a three-quarters of it.
So ladies, around your men, or on dates, do you eat less? Or do you eat neatly so you don't seem like a slob? Or do you just eat less in general because of the pressure to be skinny in today's society? And men, do you like your ladies to eat whatever they want and be on the voluptuous side, or do you like them petite?
And yes, I know that you can be healthy and voluptuous.
