[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a lot of people (especially perimenopausal/menopausal women) it is.  It’s because rather than being where their body is most comfortable and they can eat normally - which is probably a size 8-14 - they will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to stay as skinny as they were in college or whatever.[/quote]

OP. That's a really good point. At 47, I guess this is where I might be. Size 8 feels shameful to me, weirdly. I want my 6s to be comfortable. Accepting that I'm past the size 4 stage where I was in my 20s...at my age, I think too skinny doesn't look good.[/quote]

You are 47 and still starving yourself to be thin? No one cares or notices what a 47 year old woman looks like. So you are starving yourself to just..see a certain number on your pants when you get dressed in the morning? [/quote]

No need to look like 2000era Kate moss but resembling oval shape will push women out of highly paid jobs.[/quote]

My boss is a [b]very unattractive overweight lady[/b] who managed to make a very quick career, is highly respected and keeps proceeding up the ranks. So I guess, if you are really smart and personable you can beat the odds.. [/quote]

And you are a 10?  I bet your boss is prettier on the inside than you![/quote]

Not sure why you are so offended by this. I like her, respect her and get along very well with her. But she really is not physically attractive, does not dress well and often sports a stain on her clothes after lunch. She still gets her promotions faster than anyone else. My point was that being overweight won’t be a deterrent to someone’s career if they are actually good at what they are doing. [/quote]
