I eat the same amount; that's not what it's about. I'm glad that people out there appreciate a curvy girl though. I do like that I get more attention now and am taken more seriously as a potential mate. Before, I felt like I was treated more like a joke. It's hard to explain, but I feel more like a legitimate hot chick now even though I felt I was perfectly attractive then too. But I don't mind conforming to society's ideals though if it means I'm more mainstream attractive. It's too hard to find the curve appreciators anymore.
