I know a few girls in the industry who suffer from PCOS (myself included).

PCOS makes weight loss quite difficult, though I did manage to drop over 20kg as my weight is a great concern for me, especially as I would like kids at some point and being overweight with PCOS makes conception difficult. I'm still 110kg (17st-ish) and despite cutting my calorie intake and upping my time working out I can't seem to get past that weight. My GP is going to be putting me on a course of meds used to help diabetics lose weight so hopefully I'll make progress.

I don't think WGs need to be any more concerned by their weight than their civvy street counterparts, but sometimes after a hard day, or a boring day I feel the chocolate cravings return, though that was true of before I was a WG too.

There is always the fact that BBWGs don't need to concern themselves with weight in order to get sex and the confidence boost from clients who find them attractive just as they are could make some girls want to keep their weight. I've even had one client leave me because I lost too much weight, at 130kg (20st) he was encouraging me to gain weight, which I think is wrong.

A girl I've worked with recently went from a size 14-16 to a size 10-12 and she is so unhappy, she hates her pics, she hates not being able to find nice clothes in her normal shops, she hates not being able to eat what and when she wants.

I would like to get down to 85kg (13-14st) and be a dress size 14-16 and I will be very happy indeed. I'll still be classed as obese by the BMI but you can't please everyone lol!

I also suffer with pcos and it is REALLY hard to shift 1lb! Im a size 16 but im healthy, im 5ft7/8 so not clinically obese for my height, but id love to be able to work out in the gym and see a result ( but sadly pcos sufferers have to work 100 times harder than anyone else to lose weight)

If anything that causes more health concerns for me rather than the weight....and the side effects include excess facial and body hair/lack of or no periods/extreme weight gain/infertility

but my size has never impacted on work, i have had plenty (although there appears to be a dout at the min lol) id love to lose about a stone but for me not to please any man!

plus i think a woman with curves whether it be a curvy size 12 or a curvy size 18/20 can look more attractive than  someone with bones poking out all over the place

That's not true, wide hips are needed for birth (+some strong drugs), belly is unnecessary and its better to be bottom-heavy than top-heavy for women (different types of fat cells and those found around the abdomen are worse for your health)

No, the fat belly that starts under the bust is worse for your health. If you're carrying a belly that starts at the waist-ish, that's better for you in the pear vs apple shape stakes.

Before I started escorting I was a size 8-10 and under 9 stone. When I first started working I was about 10stone and a size 12. Now 2 years into working I am a size 16 and about 13stone. I think it's all the nice meals out and the wine! I used to love the gym and would work out loads. Since doing this that's gone out the window! I did so many crunches and worked on toning that even though in a big girl now I don't have a fat stomach or anything. It's gone on my face and my arse lol! Modt men do prefer slim women it's a fact and especially in this industry alot of them have the mindset that 'I'm  paying for sex so the girl should have an amazing body'. I got so much attention when I was slim and not as much now. But I really don't mind being bigger. I never thought my boobs would grow from a b cup to a FF! Which I have loved! I would like to lose abit but I have no desire to be skinny. There are men out there that do like bigger women and I'm sure if I lost my boobs I might lose a few clients.

It's about being heathly I think and most importantly feeling happy with yourself. Men always love confidence in a girl.

I wouldn't alter my appearance just because of something a client said, however I would alter my size/shape/hair colour if I thought it was a good idea, and something I'd be more comfortable with. Over the years I've been asked if I know any larger, smaller, bigger boobed, fully shaven, unshaven ladies because I didn't fit their requirements. Also had one or two say they didn't want to see me when I was a size 14 because I was "too big" or "fat".

Can't please everyone, but you can please yourself.

I do notice I tend to appeal to a wider range being a size 10, but I've never forced myself onto a diet to obtain more work - I've slimmed down for my own reasons.

I think this is a very good point - in this industry we can run the risk of getting obsessed with our body shapes and looks and feel as if we MUST maintain or aspire to a certain look or size to get work.

But it's true (I've been working for years and years) - there will always be clients who don't like this / don't like that, and most of them who actually comment negatively on someone's looks are just trying some desperate vain attempt to try and take us down a peg or two. I had a client say to me once "Well you'd do much better and look much better if you lost half a stone" and another one "you look at least ten years older than you say", "you look rough"  I mean, what sort of a person actually says something like that out loud to another person!! None of those comments are true and they are just morons for saying it. I'm the first one to recognise my ugly bits (acne, severe stretchmarks, short legs! etc) but no way in hell will I let anything anyone says about my looks affect me in the slightest.

It is ESSENTIAL to develop an attitude of nonchalance, devil-may-care attitude to comments about looks etc in this business, or it may eat you up if you take every comment to heart. I don't take any comment made by a punter or potential punter to heart, whether good or bad - It just doesn't matter. It took a bit of practice, but it's easy now. 

I have quite severe PCOS , I'm treated with strong anti-androgens  AND the pill, yet all the doctors were baffled at diagnosis since I have every single symptom of it except from the weight gain. I'm actually on the lower end of normal weight/BMI.

I don't think it's necessarily unhealthy to be overweight, it's relative to each individual situation. I'd say that if someone remains in good health at their weight then fine, if it starts impacting on their health would be the time to begin losing weight seriously with a plan of action. 

The reality is clients want slim escorts they try always to pay less for bigger escorts why a escort is bigger cant charge high charges?

Really?? Then how do me, Rooby, and all the other extra large ladies get any work, let alone run successful businesses, BASED ON the desirability of our size?

Edited to add - AND charge at least average prices, in line with "slim escorts" pricing?

Can we actually have some substantiating for the crass generalisations being posted here please? Of course men who are keen on very large women are in the minority, but so are those who like the very thin and all the evidence I've encountered over the years suggests that most are happiest with average sized ladies with, most importantly, a nicely proportioned figure which any sized person can have depending on how their measurements relate to each other and also their height. One of my best friends is 5'11" and a size 20-22 and although she's retired now, she certainly never went short of work.

MissPretty, I don't know why you've dug up this ancient thread but if it was just to make silly sweeping statements that you cannot possibly back up and insult people, please try not to do it again. If you want to discuss something relating to your personal experience fine, but do not claim to be able to speak for others, punters or otherwise.

This is not directed towards you cat but if I had the fit body I used to I probably would be raising my rates by about ?30 or something because then I would fit in the 'young, tight and toned' category lol! Unfortunately I'm young but very curvy/slightly overweight so yes my rates do reflect that.

What I find really funny is when guys say I want a girl size 6-8 girl but they don't seem to understand a size 10 woman could actually have a nicer even more toned figure than a size 6-8 due to mussel definition and height.

At the end of the day the majority of men will always prefer a slimmer women to an overweight one. Yes men like curves and an hour glass shape but very few actually like lots of fat. When it comes to being healthy as I said in my previous post I am about a size 16 and 13stone and I'm definitely not as healthy or fit as when I was slim. I refused to believe that at say 20stone you can still be healthy when you are medically obese and at risk of so many health problems. Sure you might be happy but I think a lot of people do kid themselves. Why do so many women lie about their dress sizes if they are happy? This is not an attack but my person opinion on it. I love food so much and am finding it very hard to shift the weight but I know I will.

Another guy I saw for an overnight made me laugh once. He was very skinny and he said I bet you can't guess what type of women I actually like? So I said I would probably guess more slim, he says no I like women with curves and an hour glass shape size 10-12 normally. I was thinking to myself but size 10-12 is slim durrrr! Then I see recent reverse booking from him asking for size 8-10 and he seems to think that's not actually skinny! In denial me thinks!

Yes there are men that like large/extra large ladies but unfortunately not as many that like slimmer ladies.

I have no idea why women lie about their dress sizes any more than I can understand why they lie about their ages, but I would guess it's far more to do with personal insecurities than what men actually like. Health has nothing to do with it either - I had a very slim friend who ate virtually nothing but chips and breakfast cereal, drank nothing but Diet Coke and could barely walk up a flight of stairs. And she (not unsurprisingly) looked like shit.

As for size/shape, I was a curvy, hourglass size twelve before I lost a couple of stone (and probably pushing a fourteen thanks to putting weight on over last Christmas), and I'm now a size 8-10 and my overall shape has barely changed - I'm short, but if I was six inches taller I'd look like a beanpole. I don't get any more work now than I did then, and have even had complaints because I didn't update my pictures straight away and the punter was expecting a bigger lady. Everybody is different, and there are as many different preferences as there are different ladies available. Fortunately.
