I am calling BS on all these middle aged women with children claiming 26" waists.

A 26" waist would be on the smaller size for a teenage dancer dancing 10-20 hours per week.

The only middle aged womem with that waist size are going to be a handful of asian women, and I cannot believe that there are this many tiny middle aged asian women with children posting in the dcum fashion forum today.

Um ok? Im a 40-year old mom who has always worked out. I have a 27” waist and am a true hourglass. (By that I mean my hips and bust, at the largest part, are within 1/4-1/2” of each other). I use a body/seamstress’ tape measure so I can order off online sites. I also like to measure because the scale alone can lie.

Sorry it triggers you.

Oh, and I have a muscular body and have always lifted so I’m not some Asian waif, which is what you offensively imply.

A 27 would be a normal skinny waist for a muddle aged woman. I would not blink over a 27" waist and did not even mention that number.

A 25 or 26 inch waist would not be normal for a middle aged woman. Sorry, but I am correct and I have years of measurements to back up what I am saying.

A 25 inch waist is unusual even for dancers dancing 15 plus hours per week, unless they have an eating disorder, in which case they might drop to 24". Below a 24" waist would be a cause for alarm in all but a handful of active young women.

Such a strange response. I have a 26 inch waist. I am not slim but not skinny. I'm 55. I am smaller than my friends, but I'm also more weight conscious. I travel with a scale and stay on top of it. Could I stay this size if I never thought about it? No, I couldn't, but I really care about my health.

So many questions.

Does traveling with a scale mean you can never just do carry on?
What items are you sacrificing in your luggage to make room for a scale?
Do you think this makes you just the teensiest bit overly obsessive about your weight?

Pro tip: If you are this obsessive, why not just take a cloth measuring tape to measure your waist and regain luggage space?

DP. Are we talking a human weight scale or a food scale? Both seem crazy, honestly, but I’m curious.

Either way it points to eating disorder.

People have different frame sizes. I wear a 2 or 4 and I definitely see people with much smaller waists than I do who look perfectly healthy. Usually it's people with narrow shoulders and hips and a small frame overall.

I was around 90 pounds back when I had an ED in college. Even at that weight I never had a 24 or 25 inch waist and my bra size was 36 (same as it is at 115 or 120 pounds except now I can fit an A cup).

26 is pretty small. But 27-29 is a pretty normal range for a woman of any age that works out and is in good shape.

It’s a pretty normal size for people with eating disorders which we’ve clearly seen on this site.

We always talk about the eating disorders of people who eat too much but on this site a lot of people have serious eating disorders in the other direction.

A 27-29 inch would would be the equivalent of a size 4-8. That isnt scary thin, rather heathy weight and in shape

Again, you won’t understand this cause you probably have an eating disorder, but size 4 is not normal for a fully grown woman.

A size four is absolutely normal and within the healthy BMI range, but keep convincing yourself that a size 16/18 is healthy. Your knees, blood pressure, and sleep apnea disagree with you.

Do you understand human beings? I have a 31.5 inch waist and wear a 16. Only on a very very rare occasion does a 14 fit because I’m tall and I have muscular legs. I’ve not been smaller than that since I was 8, maybe 9. I don’t have bad knees, HBP, diabetes, or sleep apnea. I swim 3 hours a day and walk several miles. Now you tell me how I’ll ever got into a size 8, cause honey it ain’t happening! I’d have to stop eating. But you with your judgmental size 4 keep on starving yourself and see how you feel in 20 years.

+1. I have never had a 24 inch waist, not even when I was a size 0 teenager/20-somethiny.

I’ve known one adult who was naturally a 23-24 inch waist. The woman had to go on a diet to gain weight. That size is not normal over age 21. Anything under 27 really isn’t typical after 30. And to be under 30 after 50 you have to be the crazy lady taking her scale on vacation.

The internet says it’s 25 inches and she’s only 5 feet tall, not to mention tons of plastic surgery. Nothing about that is normal.

I believe a lot of these posters. If you are someone who measures their waist you are probably also someone who cares a lot about their figure. And you are someone that would proud of keeping things tight and be open to posting about it online.
