You look pearish to me. I have the same belly issues and waffle back and forth over whether or not I have apple tendencies, but honestly, it doesn't matter as long as I know how to dress myself, which I think I do.</p> <p>Your long waist will allow you to wear all those amazing wide statement belts! I hope you take advantage of this look. It was made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147774 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:28:57 +0000 Angie 147774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pics, Stringy! Thank hubby for us.</p> <p>I say pretty pear with a long waist. Even though you feel that you have apple tendencies, you actually have a small defined waist. Definitely a great canvas for belts :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147731 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:15:15 +0000 Beth 147731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with a slight Pretty Pear with a long rise:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147723 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:53:56 +0000 JennyK (NC) 147723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries at all - you sound like a totally normal person who is not 100% satisfied with her body right now. Are any of us? Believe me when I tell you that no matter how perfect you think someone looks, that person could point out a myriad of things about themselves they don't like or want to improve. </p> <p>I'm not sure about your body type. Your hips and shoulders seem pretty even and you have a defined waist. You look quite petite and you do look long-torsoed to me. I would lean toward a slight pretty pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147717 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:05:18 +0000 anne 147717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree with Queenie - with perhaps some rectangle in there as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147705 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:09:49 +0000 Queen Mum 147705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was seeing a bit of pear tendancy too. Perhaps you're a pretty pear with a temporary apple tummy going on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147682 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 09:36:55 +0000 stringy 147682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I sound like such a sad-sack having a pity party for myself! I'm not normally like that, it's just that I'm in analytical-mode right now. </p> <p>Anyway, I'm off now to a Rock-Band party with friends to play pretend-guitar... I won't be around to answer any immediate questions, but will check back in tomorrow morning, Aussie time </p> <p>Looking forward to hearing your honest opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-5#post-147681 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 09:28:37 +0000 stringy 147681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After my shopping rant from yesterday, I got my husband to take some pics of me to help me figure out my body type. </p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com.au/stringy.j/BodyType?authkey=Gv1sRgCNTxode7rbrhOQ&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com.au.....directlink</a></p> <p>I used to think I was a rectangle with a long torso, now I'm thinking apple with short legs. When I sit next to my sisters we're all the same height, then when we stand up I'm the shortest But I don't really know for sure and would appreciate the YLF opinion. </p> <p>The little pot belly is a recent development, and I'd like to lose it. I used to want to gain weight because I was too scrawny (in the definitely-unhealthy region), but I thought it'd come on in a pear shape and give me a nice booty to shake. Having it stick out further than my chest makes me feel like a middle-aged man with a beer belly, very disappointing </p> <p>Will have to try to find the happy medium point. And probably work on my posture (yoga and pilates are helping a lot, if anyone has a similar issue). But until then I've got to deal with what I've got. </p>
