[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a thin family. My kids are all stick skinny. We are family friends with parents who are overweight and they have so many restrictions with food. The mom does not allow sugar and is a total nazi about junk food. The kids are growing and thin but the parents are overweight. I would guess mom weighs around 160 pounds on an average frame and dad is 200 pounds on an average height so both large. Their kids have a total complex with food! [/quote]

is this post a DCUM joke?  
160 pounds on an average sized woman (assume 5'6") and 200 pounds on an average sized man (assume 5'10"-6'0") is hardly overweight.  
Maybe by 5-10 pounds each?  If they're muscular that's not overweight at all.  [/quote]

You think 160 pounds on 5’5” is normal???

I’m currently 5’4” and 135 and I feel very chubby. I’m normally around 125. 125 on 5’4” is thin, not skinny.

I just calculated and 160 on 5’5” is a BMI of almost 27 and that is overweight. I just guessed 160. Now that I think about it, she is probably more. My husband is 170 and she is much bigger than DH.

You have a distorted view of your body.  Understandable since it is our society but you are not chubby

NP here. Off topic for this thread, but no, she doesn’t. Weight isn’t a one-size-fits-all, but I’m the same height as PP and probably carry weight similarly. I absolutely look chubby at 135 because I’m not muscular. Right now I’m 127 and feel chubby (i.e., thighs are noticeably bigger, I have a fat roll around my stomach, etc.). 5’4” and 127-135 is certainly not chubby if it’s muscle, though, I get that. But sometimes it’s fat!

OP, you are being too harsh with your son. Please let it go and buy him a package of Oreos.[/quote]
