Do you have any weird "hang-ups"?

[tiff211]

Dh says I am just plain weird. Let me explain:

My mom just informed us she will come to town to watch DDs so we can go away for a few days for our anniversary! So, we have been trying to decide where we should go. Of course you know where I want to go but DH says Miami! I went on a girls only trip to Miami in 2001 and I was a size 10. I still felt like a cow compared to all those gorgeous skinny women on the beach. It's like you HAVE to be perfect to fit in there. I am not insecure but I said I would not go back there unless I was skinny especially with DH. So, 2 more kids and my weight has gone up not down a couple of sizes. So, when DH mentions Miami, I remind him of what I said. He said "It's only April, we are not going until June, if you start working out now and watching what you eat........." I replied, "If I started smoking crack everyday from now until June, I still wouldn't be skinny enough for Miami!" And that's why he says I'm weird.

I hear ya. I will NOT put on a bathing suit in public, not even in front of people I know. As a result, I have a bathing suit that's 10 years old, which I've worn 2x. And one that I bought around 2001 with the tags still on it.

My weirdest hang-up is that I can't stand having my ears touched. I can touch my own ears, of course, but if someone else tries, I freak out on them. It's great fun going to the doctor and having them insist on using the ear thermometer!

I think DH is weird for suggesting you go on a diet instead of encouraging you to feel beautiful just as you are.

He always does try to convince me. He's actually great about making me feel like the weight I put on doesn't matter. I think he had a moment of desparation wanting to go to Miami.

nah, i bet if you started smoking crack, you'd lose the weight...and some other stuff.

I don't...Along with his wanting to go to Miami with you, he probably knows you would feel better about yourself if you did, and you would enjoy yourself more..

I am in this position along with you..I know exactly how it feels...Dh is great, says I look great, I know the reality..

Good luck in whatever you do...Just enjoy the time alone together.

I totally see where you are coming from. I have never been to Miami and I do not ever want to go for that reason! I also hate being in a bathing suit. I guess one of my biggest hangups is that I hate my legs. I even have a hard time wearing shorts at WDW b/c I hate seeing pictures of myself. I am actually not a big person but I just hate my legs and DH thinks I am crazy. If I do wear shorts at WDW, I always make sure those pics are removed before showing anyone when we return.

Sidenote: Your kids are so cute! Oh my goodness!!!

My only weird hang up is that I cannot stand to wear shoes that show my "toe cracks"...toe cracks look like butt cracks to me.

Yikes, I can't believe that I just admitted that...and I haven't had a margarita yet...

I cannot wear sleeveless shirts or shirts with the cap sleeves.

I feel like my arm tops are huge and everyone would see my fat jiggle(been this way since high school when there wasn't any fat to jiggle)

I can't stand having my wrists touched.

Also, I hate sitting next to a stranger at the movies. Way too close for comfort.

I'm okay with that until they start sucking face, like the couple next to me at Shrek 2 did. Especially when they incorporate sound effects.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't like that...

Okay... now I need a margarita! That's too funny!

 

[arminnie]

Go to Palm Beach instead of Miami - lots of very old not so hot bodies there. You will feel like hot stuff.

I can't stand that either, I call it toe cleavage!!!

Now I am in the mood for a margarita, mmmmm!!

I can't stand to be tapped on the shoulder. It makes me want to choke whoever does it--I really hate it that much.
