Hello AntiM :wave:

Enjoy reading your posts and replys.

I am on day #12 of Induction.

I go to your post often to get a laught at your picture.

It is a hoot !!!

Is that your yard or what?

Is that your statue?

I would love to put that picture up on my frig.

It makes me laugh. :lol:

Good luck :thup:

Quick (off topic) history lesson :D

The stone in AntiM's picture is a recast/copy/representation of what is called the Goddess of Willendorf.

The original is around 25,000-30,000 years old and is the oldest known human representation on this planet. She was found in Austria and is small enough to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand.

I have several Goddess of Willendorf's in my house, it is a wonderful representation of the female form ...

If you like these kinds of images of the female form run a search for the Goddess of Laussel, Goddess of Lespugue, Nathor and Ishtar (just to name a few)

History lesson over :D

:D Fiona :D

It's an honor and a pleasure to meet you, Arfmeow! How cool to find someone else here who was active in the Fat Acceptance movement! There are so many incredible people posting to this forum - I hope you enjoy getting involved here as much as I have. I’m going to write a real reply to your post - I just had to reply right away and let you know that I’m psyched you are posting.

Hi Chloë Mae!

I've enjoyed reading your posts, too ... I'm working on my sixth week of 20-ish carbs daily so now I'm an 'expert'! LOL

Fiona gave a great 'history lesson' about my avator. I'll try to find the site where I got the picture, so you can print out a larger version for your fridge.

Hello, thanks for the history lesson and the references. Very interesting. I would have never known.

How different that this earliest female form is rotund. Brings to mind, Rueben's paintings.

Just reinforces my notion that we don't need to look like Twiggy. Just look and be at a healthy weight. :agree:
