[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are all of you who are 5"6 and 120 lbs or 5"4 and 110 lbs and think you're fat living and who do you associate with? Certainly not in my neighborhood lol. I don't see anyone that tiny practically ever but certainly they seem overrepresented in this forum compared to the general population.[/quote]

I am 5'6" and 181 and the women who are 5'2" and 100 pounds are all, 100%, unemployed. They have hours to exercise and it doesn't matter if they are hungry because they don't have to accomplish anything. I'm sure they feel pity for me, but different strokes. I'm done with this forum, y'all can talk about disciplining yourselves to ignore hunger in peace.[/quote]

While that's not my body type, this is not true. I have worked with women with that body. A lot actually. And many in their 40s and 50s. I had a boss like that-- department director, long hours. She definitely dieted (was actually weird about food) but I also think she was just naturally super petite. She was also a very anxious person-- she was constantly in motion and she probably burned calories just sitting at her desk because she was so fidgety. She also had two teens.

I've also worked with other women with that body type though who were not super weird about food or fidgety like that. One was a runner (also had teenage kids). Another I don't know what she did to stay thin. They both ate normally though --healthy food but not limiting amounts unreasonably. I used to eat lunch with them several times a week. Salads with grilled salmon or chicken, normal dressings, that kind of thing.

Anyway, some people are just built like that. If they were starving and really working at it, they hid it well. Neither seemed vain at all though.[/quote]

Yeahhhhhh…. I am 5’2 114, so not quite as thin as the women first poster was grouching about. I work like 50 hours a week and am a single mom with full custody. Being thin is most certainly not a full time job for me at least. [/quote]
