[quote=Anonymous]I spent my entire early adult life living in other countries (ages 22-32). I am considered on the smaller size in the US (120 lb, so not tiny but not large). I felt huge overseas. I felt like I was stockier and broader than most women, regardless of where I was (Europe, East Africa, and parts of Southeast Asia bring the primary places). I was actually thinner then I am now, and I had some friends describe me as “robust” and “plump” a few times— which I found hurtful but it was not meant as an insult. I actually think my frame was bigger than many women— not even my height, but my actual bone structure. What I noticed with my European friends is that they did not snack, and their portions were small. They walked or biked everywhere. And they did, absolutely, care about their weight— but never seemed to be dieting. They were just very cognizant of what they ate. Anyway OP— I definitely noticed these things. And I was “skinny” at the time! [/quote]
