[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]gaining 35 lbs during a stressful period of my life where I also had an undiagnosed thyroid disorder. Now I’m on a GLP (miracle IMO) and back to my starting weight of 120isg.

But part of me wants to be thin [b]thin. I’ve never been fashionably thin like some people where almost all clothes just look great, and shoulders/arms are defined etc. I don’t mean anorexic btw. [/b]

At what weight does that happen? Right now I’m right in the middle of the range for a healthy weight for my height.

If you don’t believe in GLP, you can move along

Anyone btdt and managed to get very thin on a GLP? [/quote]

I’m thin (with no boobs) and my BFF is overweight. She complained about clothes not fitting and said it was easy for me because I’d look good in anything. I said that was undeniably false, and told her I’d go shopping with her and that she could give me anything to try on to prove she was wrong.

She was shocked at how ridiculous I looked in getups. She’d pull something off the rack and I’d tell her it was going to look ridiculous because I know what looks good on me. She definitely had a good laugh.

I swear it was the best exercise for her, and I think she was grateful that I humored her. [/quote]

This is a tangent, but I agree with it. I am 5'4" and 110 lbs, small chest, narrow hips. A lot of women think "oh you can wear anything." Untrue. Even finding bathing suits that fit well and are flattering is hard (small chest is hard to fit, most suits are designed for a B cup or larger, suits that accommodate a smaller chest are often skimpy in a way that doesn't flatter my butt or midsection, which are small but I'm 46 and have had kids, so I don't look 22).

I think a lot of women think if they could just be tiny, it would solve all their issues with their appearance. It won't. Yes, being very thin is socially encouraged and I get social approval for that. But the standards for women are much more than just "thin." I'm thinking and fit but I'm also middle aged, have a bit of a belly from pregnancy that will never go away, small boobs, I'm pale, even at my weight I have a bit of cellulite (more visible because I'm fair), my butt is pretty flat, my ankles are on the thick side (again since pregnancy). Being a size 0 changes none of that.[/quote]

Small chests typically don’t look good [/quote]

It really depends. Most men and younger men especially these days prefer a smaller cup size. Of course there are variables involved there as well. 
If they are perky and nicely shaped, then smaller chests in the A to C cup range absolutely are more popular than large D to DD size breasts now. [/quote]
