[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am involved in the dance world.

I am calling BS on all these middle aged women with children claiming 26" waists.

A 26" waist would be on the smaller size for a teenage dancer dancing 10-20 hours per week.

The only middle aged womem with that waist size are going to be a handful of asian women, and I cannot believe that there are this many tiny middle aged asian women with children posting in the dcum fashion forum today.[/quote]

Um ok? Im a 40-year old mom who has always worked out. I have a 27” waist and am a true hourglass. (By that I mean my hips and bust, at the largest part, are within 1/4-1/2” of each other). I use a body/seamstress’ tape measure so I can order off online sites. I also like to measure because the scale alone can lie.

Sorry it triggers you.

Oh, and I have a muscular body and have always lifted so I’m not some Asian waif, which is what you offensively imply.[/quote]

A 27 would be a normal skinny waist for a muddle aged woman.  I would not blink over a 27" waist and did not even mention that number.

A 25 or 26 inch waist would not be normal for a middle aged woman.  Sorry, but I am correct and I have years of measurements to back up what I am saying.

A 25 inch waist is unusual even for dancers dancing 15 plus hours per week, unless they have an eating disorder, in which case they might drop to 24".  Below a 24" waist would be a cause for alarm in all but a handful of active young women.

Such a strange response. I have a 26 inch waist. I am not slim but not skinny. I'm 55. I am smaller than my friends, but I'm also more weight conscious.[b] I travel with a scale[/b] and stay on top of it. Could I stay this size if I never thought about it? No, I couldn't, but I really care about my health.[/quote]

So many questions.

Does traveling with a scale mean you can never just do carry on?
What items are you sacrificing in your luggage to make room for a scale?
Do you think this makes you just the teensiest bit overly obsessive about your weight?

Pro tip: If you are this obsessive, why not just take a cloth measuring tape to measure your waist and regain luggage space?[/quote]

DP. Are we talking a human weight scale or a food scale? Both seem crazy, honestly, but I’m curious.[/quote]

Either way it points to eating disorder.[/quote]
