I weigh 160 at 5 ft 2./My doctor had no problem expressing surprise when I stepped on the scale. They are not the swamis at the carnival guessing weight. Doctors can be wrong at eyeballing weight, easy. |

Some of us look better with more weight. 5'2 and 138 lbs. ideal for me is 132-135. At 120, people thought I had an eating disorder or an obsession with being skinny. I remember a classmate and I were the same size/shape years ago and we were both shocked to find that I was 15 lbs heavier. At my current weight, I'm overweight per my BMI, yet have a six pack, love handles, and I'm toned. My only problem areas are my arms which aren't as tight as they used to be.
A size 14 on someone 5'7 could be Marilyn Monroe. |
| no love handles* |
Don't you think if she were she wouldn't have been posting pictures to DCUM on a Friday night? |
I'm actually in a serious relationship, thank you very much. I can have an boring Friday night posting on DCUM. Get over it. |
Still inappropriate to do. Doctors shouldn't be "eyeballing" your weight |
The mirror is slanted quite a bit PP, you should send a pic with an upright mirror image. |
| I wear an 18 and I have a FUPA. My SO loves my body and tells me so all the time with his mouth and hands and eyes and ... yeah. And he has other options for sure. He chose me big belly and all. Some men will love you at a size 14 some won't and it's OK whichever way the cookie crumbles for you. Mmmm cookies. |

Genuinely curious why you would post a pic of yourself on an anonymous parenting board. Are you fishing for compliments from sad men in sexless marriages? I'm 39, have 3 children (youngest is 6 months old) and am a size 6-8 depending on the store. I have a somewhat similar physique to you. I feel I could lose at least 10 pounds but I blame it on nursing. I am certain my husband thinks I am chubby and we both hope and want me to lose at least 10 pounds. I was a size 2 when we were dating. I became a size 4 after the birth of our first child and a size 4-6 after second. I want to go back to a size 4 and I think it is doable. |

Ok. This picture is an older picture of you, at least 5 years. In this photo, you appear to be an 8/10. In the first picture, you are a very fit 12/14. You posted that you are 26yo, enjoy your figure. After having kids/turning 40, you will look VERY different at the same weight/clothing size. |
PP I agree with you since the legs are definitely slimmer. Your last point however might be the norm it is not an absolute. |
