I remember the first time I saw Nancy Reagan’s inauguration ball gown at the Smithsonian and being completely shocked an adult could be so small bodied. |
Not eating much: it's easier when you have a chef to make you salads and grilled fish. drinking in place of food rather than in addition. Pilates and Barre. In the past, smoking, but now less so. Also plastic surgery like lipo. |
I have the thin/lean look despite lifting heavy weights. I would absolutely love to have a more athletic physique. I think thin/lean physiques are preferred only by a subset of certain women. I tend to think in real life, more people prefer more of athletic or even curvy look. |
Audrey Hepburn had childhood malnutrition. Jackie O starved to be thin and would absolutely be on Ozempic. |
Plenty of UC women don’t look this way. They just aren’t putting pictures of themselves on Instagram, or allowing a lot of pics of them in the press. |
Yeah…but she was tiny. An outlier body type. |
I have this body type and have not had to work that hard at it because of genetics. If it helps, I feel rather depressed most days because of genetics and well...life.

My late mom was the original Almond Mom. Was obsessed with maintaining her wedding weight of 100 pounds plus. Weighed herself every single day. Her mantra was, “if you never gain a pound, you never have to lose a pound.”
She quite literally wasted away the last few years of her life and became alarmed when her heart failure symptoms caused her to lose her appetite. Then she became anxious about trying to gain. Awful horrible way to live your life. |
It definitely has a genetic component of how your fat is distributed. Small chest, and lean through the arms, and torso definitely has a more “elegant” look than someone with big chest and carries their weight around the middle and in arms, even if not overweight. |
Nope. She had a different body type before she married Harry. She seems to be actively working to maintain a certain look. |
Hillary Duff struggles with this. |
I got very toned doing barre regularly with reformer pilates thrown in now and then, but genetics definitely is part of it. I'm not curvy. |
I will take ozempic skinny over my fat rolls 👻 |
Audrey Hepburn didn't get enough to eat as a child and it had an impact on her body and her health. From the outside it may have looked desirable, but it was the result of deprivation and she was not happy with her body. Just some perspective here. |
You sound like you're in 7th grade. |
