[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s my take on teen Kate, who I can understand:

I noticed a while ago and kept meaning to mention that teen Kate isn’t big. A little chubby but not by much.

Well, it turns out, and she admits to Madison as much, that she had lost weight. It didn’t come by being healthy. It came by practically starving herself.

When people reach goals and it’s not achieved by emotionally healthy means (size 7 in her case), the success can feel distorted. She saw herself that gorgeous dress, and still didn’t feel beautiful. In fact, no matter the size, she would feel bad.   I’m not saying the way she got there (baby carrots) caused the problem. But theyre both symptoms of another problem:

Body dismorphic disorder. [/quote]

Teen Kate had bothered me from the start.  Because she was not fat!  And that did not fit the story line of her being fat her whole life.  Last night explained it, but I still think it was weird they hadn't mentioned this before.

Also 90s Rebecca dresses SO weird.  I am the same age as The Big 3 and NONE of my friend's mothers dressed like Rebecca.  Especially the stay at home moms.  They were MUCH MUCH more dowdy.  The 90s was not so glamorous for suburban motherhood fashion.  She does not look like a late 40s middle class SAHM in 1997 at all.[/quote]

She wasn't late forties, I don't think. More like early forties.[/quote]

She was thirty when the triplets were born so 46-47 in the teen episodes. I think Rebecca dresses a lot like the moms I remember in the late 1980s in Pittsburgh. Her clothing seems typical 1990s casual to me. [/quote]

I find nothing abnormal about the way she dresses.  [/quote]
