The thought of her seeing my little baby weiner, just embarrassed me, beyond belief.

And now, even....I don't know. Even though I'm considered thin now, I'm still embarrassed ~somewhat~ to be shirtless in the daytime. Last summer, there were many pool parties at my house, with most people being 18-25. My pool was in half the young people's Facebook profiles, in this town! But I look back, at all those pics, and I realize, the difference that just time has made on my body. Even if I weigh the same as them, our bodies are....just different.

Question - can years of weighing considerably more than this, CHANGE the size of my ribcage? Because I feel like my ribcage is too large for the rest of my body, now. And if it did indeed change that, I wonder if years of being thinner, could allow it to return....?

These are the deep issues, that I ponder.

And btw, I've been VERY horny, the past couple of days.

I am pretty sure your skeleton is your skeleton and that there is nothing you can do about it unless you are Cher and you have some of your ribs removed. I knew a guy who was fairly thin but he had the widest mothering hips ever, which I think could be possibly the worst thing that could happen to a guy; it was all hip bone. No matter how much weight you lose, you're not going to remodel your skeleton. So just be thankful it's your rib cage and not your hips!
