Yes. Of course. It’s common and normal.

Most of my friends are not size 0 (I'm among the thinnest of my friends and I'm size 8/10) but of those who are really thin, none of them are thin because of eating disorders. It's all genetics. They eat just as much as I do.

So it is all genetics? And all your friends are over size 8? And people that are thin are thin bcs of genetics? And you are overweight bcs of genetics? Do you need a deeper pile of sand?

I never said I was overweight.

Again, if you are the pp who is size 8, you are. Size 8 today is like size 14 10 years ago.

So size 0=eating disorder and size 8=fat. Got it. And I'm the one who's delusional?

Well, if you look at tabloids every celebrity is either deathly skinny and about to die from anorexia or obese and blowing up. Nobody is an acceptable weight.

I’m 52, 5’3”, 110. Don’t exercise at all (yes, I know that’s bad) and don’t restrict what I eat. My weight stays consistent no matter what, just like my mom’s did and her mom before her.

But someone will now chime in to say that I clearly do something virtuous that overweight people don’t, because fat shaming is so important to them.

I wouldn’t go that far, and I’m not fat shaming anybody, but my experience with people like you is the genetic component is that you eat less food than others because you get full faster. Ultimately (at least a major component) of weight is a math problem - if you eat more calories than your metabolism burns, you gain, and if you burn more than you eat, you lose.

I am your height and weighed around 130 most of my adult life. I thought that was where my body was happy. A few years ago, I started actively counting calories and the weight fell off. I’m now around your weight and maintain it because I have trained myself to eat smaller portions (don’t restrict any foods).

But my friends who are naturally this way just baseline can eat less than I can. I have a lifelong friend who is not genetically thin (both parents are overweight) but ever since we were kids, she gets full eating 1/3 of what I do.

My point is that sometimes the “genetics” of thinness are really related to your feeling of satiety/how quickly you get full, which leads you to eat less. That can also be learned for people who are motivated, though.

PP and I appreciate the measured response. But when we order pizza, I eat 3 or if I’m really hungry, 4 slices. Not my daily diet, but also not a small portion. I think there’s something to what you’re saying, but don’t think that explains it entirely.

No, size 0 does not mean an eating disorder, size 8means overweight. Sadly, you seem to live in some alternate reality where you are thin and a size 8. Are you 6 feet tall?Ok, in that case you are normal weight.

NP here. No idea what your problem is (hangry perhaps? ), but the PP is a perfectly fine size. Doubtful that she's too skinny unless she's very tall, but definitely not fat unless she's 4' which also seems unlikely. Also, she said she was among the thinnest of her friends, which makes sense since the average size of the American woman now falls between a 16 and an 18.

We do not make "sense" when we think we are thin when we are borderline obese. If you are comparing yourself to an "average" American, that means many just obese people are thin. What a ridiculous notion.
She said she is thin, no idea when size 8 became thin. You can be thinner than your friends and still be overweight. Easy to be just a buffalo among elephants.

Wrong and wrong.

I am a size 0/2 and have never been on a diet and definitely never had an eating disorder. I'm 44. I exercise but not obsessively. Mostly I just walk a lot, and then so some barre/strength training a couple times a week.

One thing I'll say is that I think I get full easily. I don't restrict myself from any type of food but with heavy foods, I fill up fast. I generally can't eat an entire hamburger. A serving of ice cream to me is a fes spoonfuls. I am sure other people assume this is discipline to reduce calorie intake but it's not-- I'm just full and don't want anymore. I find most restaurant portions way too large.

But this doesn't jibe with people who want to believe thin people are only that way because of genetics! Gasp - could hardly be because they just eat less (whatever the reason).

NP. WTF are you talking about? Is this girl fat:

Look at her swimsuit pics. Her tummy is flat. She is healthy and fit. She would have to have an ED to be any smaller.

Uh, chiming in here on behalf of us size twos who eat the whole burger every time. And I sure as hell don’t stop after only a couple spoons of ice cream. Blasphemy!

I mean this is the kind of alternate reality you live in. She is overweight, she would not have to have an ED to be slimer that that. Many women are thinner than that without any ED. I mean you truly have a distorted reality about weight. She is three sizes overweight. In no world is she thin. Plenty of people are thinner than her without any ED. If you are that size and think you are thin, you must be a narcisist?

I am 5'9". I never said I was thin, I said I am among the thinnest of my friends. I am perfectly fine with being average but to say a size 8 is borderline obese is insane. And if you are wondering why people have eating disorders, it's because of mean bit*hes like you.

Why is it so hard for you to recognize that you are wrong? Because you are a narcissist perhaps? If you think that is thin, no doubt you are posting that obese kids are just big boned and avoiding parental responsibly. ED has nothing to do with size. Obese people can have anorexia too.
I am much smaller than her and eat a lot and have no ED whatsoever. But, hey whatever makes you sleep well at night with your head in the sand pillow.

How much do you weigh? If you are fine, let's hear it and see what the chart says.
