[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to go by weight/height and bmi to answer this. But the average sized woman at 5'4 wearing a size twelve? Yes.[/quote]
This. Theres a huge difference between a size 12 woman who is 5'11 and one that is 5'4". Clothing doesn't matter. [/quote]

+1.  This is me.  I'm 5'4" and a size 12, who used to be a size 6.  For a whole host of reasons (AMA child-bearing, hitting 40 and metabolism slowing, poor family genetics, flat out laziness) I'm a lot heavier than I was pre-child.  Am I obese compared to my mom and her sisters? No.  Am I fat?  Yes.  Disgusting.

NP here.  Please don't say you are disgusting.  What you are describing is being a very normal woman!  Your body gave birth to children and now you are over 40.  Please cut yourself some slack.  If you need/want to amp up the working out/activity, that's great.  But please don't down talk yourself even in an anonymous forum!  I'm sure those close to you and your children would say your weight/size is the very last thing they think of when they think of you.  I'm also sure that those folks would never use the word disgusting to describe you.  Please, let's all be kind to ourselves.[/quote]
