[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, people have different body shapes.  However, "overweight/obese" is not a body shape, it is a medical aliment.

Skinny does not mean healthy, of course.  But being overweight is ALWAYS unhealthy.  There is no way to spin it.  The health consequences of excess weight can be delayed or gradual, but they will eventually catch up with you.  [/quote]

Being underweight is also ALWAYS unhealthy. But a lot of people are totally fine with others being underweight but freak out if they decide someone is overweight (and it doesn't sound like OP is talking about people with obvious weight issues -- she's talking about average weight women).[/quote]

The "average" weight woman is way overweight.  Average size in the US is a 16/18.  That is terrible and unhealthy.  OP isn't talking about women that are clinically underweight- she is talking about women who are a size 2-4, which is what she stated.  That is not underweight, just a lot thinner than OP is sounds.
