I am 5'6" and weigh 127 pounds -- yet I feel HUGE. I have a blind date tomorrow and I'm getting nervous that he will judge me? I feel like a whale, therefore I'm very bervous about what to wear. I know this is not normal -- I am 30, when will I get over these body image issues?

You will start to get over your body image issues when you decide to start thinking differently. I know it's hard to be alone, and harder to find a good man, but even so, you HAVE to stop letting your physical appearance be the basis of your self-perceived worth to the opposite sex.
The whole reason that lean bodies are attractive to us (as a biological instinct) is because they are healthier than obese bodies. But mental and emotional health are even more important to a happy relationship and they require as much or even more work than keeping a healthy body.
Everyone is attracted to a beautiful person... at first. But emotionally healthy people will quickly lose that attraction if the beautiful person is weak on the inside. The only people that are attracted to insecure people are other insecure people. And you should strive for better!
So, stop obsessing about your body, and start working on your insecurities. Be the strong, honest, confident, dependable person that you're looking for in a man and you'll find out that he's looking for you, too.
Good luck!

well just think about those women that are like 180 pounds. If you just go to the gym every day, I'm sure in two or three weeks you'll feel amazing about yourself. trust me, it doesn't take much. it will totally change your life. or get an elliptical machine for your house or apartment. i have one and do it every night for like 30 minutes when my kids are in bed. my *** looks amazing. and i feel so beautiful. I'm 5'6'' and 120 pounds.
hey and only drinking water will help you out, put some lemon in it.
and then go get your hair and nails done before your date, trust me. and don't forget to wear sexy perfume.

I don't think you will get over it until you start thinking that "you" are the one looking for the right guy and not waiting to be picked.
I don't think you get over it completely. If you didn't know it, you weigh less than the "average" american woman for your age. So I can tell you right now you are better than average.

Think of it this way, if he judges you by your body then he's not someone you should be with. You can do better than that.
