[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a lot of people (especially perimenopausal/menopausal women) it is.  It’s because rather than being where their body is most comfortable and they can eat normally - which is probably a size 8-14 - they will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to stay as skinny as they were in college or whatever.[/quote]

OP. That's a really good point. At 47, I guess this is where I might be. Size 8 feels shameful to me, weirdly. I want my 6s to be comfortable. Accepting that I'm past the size 4 stage where I was in my 20s...at my age, I think too skinny doesn't look good.[/quote]

Funny how bodies can be completely different at similar stats. I am 5'6" 144lbs but comfortably a size 2-4. I mostly need the 4s in tops because of my muscular shoulders. I would look unhealthy at low 130s and I am always perplexed at women of similar height weighing in the 120s trying to lose weight.[/quote]

It is odd. I am 5.8” and 139 and am thin but with wide hips and I wear a 12. [/quote]

I’m 5’8” when I was 138 my doctor told me I needed to gain weight to get pregnant. I got to 145 and bam pregnant. I was size 10/12 and thin, very thin. But I (as an example) wear size large men’s gloves, my legs are forever long and my hips don’t lie.[/quote]

Me too!  I’m 150lbs and 5’8 and I put on about 6 lbs of muscle in the last few years.  I wear 4/6 in most clothes and before I put on muscle, I looked really thin at 140-144.  I am still thin and wear same clothes but the muscle definition and fat loss looks better.  I don’t worry about the weight.[/quote]
