[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that what is considered "chunky" by the average DCUM poster is probably within the normal range of a healthy weight for a given person's height.  Most of the moms at my kids' school look like they haven't had a carbohydrate or a gram of fat in the last 30 years and they are often skinnier than their healthy looking daughters.  I hate to think of people fat shaming a 15 year old because she weighs 125 lbs.

Both of my kids were breastfed for six months or less, have always eaten junk food in moderation, don't play sports, and went through periods during puberty where portion sizes went out the window.[b]  Small-boned DD is a size 2[/b] and DS might weigh 120 1bs at 5'7".   They might just be lucky - they didn't get that from me!  [/quote]

Whether or not wearing a size 2 =skinny (or even slender) depends on height, age, build & brand/cut of the clothes in question. A small boned teen girl (or adult woman, for that matter) who is below average to average height doesn't need to be really thin these days to fit into a size 2 at most stores. In fact, a girl who has a smaller build & is on the short side could easily be a bit chubby & still wear a size 2 in a lot of clothes.[/quote]
