 I am as my name suggests, petite and light. And getting lighter by the day because there just isn't enough time for me to eat. So I can't join the contest. It's not fair to be a cook in a kitchen surrounded by food and not be able to eat. On busy nights, I can see my glass of ice turning into water but often don't have time to reach over and take a sip. You are a big fella, aren't you? Good luck on the diet. I'm rooting for you.  P.S. Skinny I am and trustworthy as well. At least in the back of the house. Cocktail waitresses, however, have something to worry about.  [ May 14, 2001: Message edited by: monpetitchoux ]

| Monpetitchoux, I can relate to what you're saying. It's the strangest thing! I grew up surrounded by pastries and great food, yet I was skinny. When I became a nurse and didn't have food in front of me all the time, I gained weight. Now that I'm cooking again, I'm skinny again. I don't have time to eat. But, I do know a few very LARGE Chefs! |

 Well I can't compete with your size GastroNaut... I'm only 5'9" and about 170 (which is too much for a women, petite I've never been). But I'm certainly the largest one in my kitchen believe it or not! Everyone else is from Mexico and they start at 5'2" or so (that's the head chef) and work up from there. There's only one guy that I can look at eye to eye when standing normally. It's kind of weird working with all small men. This way they can't push me around, ha!

 Dear Gastronaut: I am 6.2 and 250 pounds. I guess I will have to settle for second best in this contest. I am on a diet as well. When I was delivered as a baby, the doctor asked my Mother to put me on a diet because I was too big! I have been on a diet ever since!

| Yikes Gastro, is it from eating to much food whilst you work or eating at the wrong times, I know a lot of chefs who eat late at night because of their shifts. I go to the gym in the mornings and find that not only does it keep me toned but more focused for the long day as well. |

 5'4 and voluptuous, which in the media could mean 98 lbs+ (which I'm definately not). |

| I'm about 5' 9" and wiegh anywhere in the neighbourhod of 225 to 240 lbs. the weight fluxuates with my lifestyle. When I'm not working I usually lose weight, and when I'm working I usually put the pounds on like crazy.

| 5'4" and a definite foodie body, voluptuous sounds so much more lucious...... stressssss usually equates to poundage crunching on the wrong shtuff. The market still new is a stressor.....making sure there's fundage, farmers, etc....I stress less when cooking... |
