You get this right?
You're long overdue for a therapy session to discuss your brainwashed perceptions of thin =chic and/or perfect.
You know that, right?

I have to agree. I see waif like grown women and wondering what they are trying so desperately to hold on to. The boney look is not flattering on anyone.
The super thin look looks wonderful for a teen or twentysomething.
Once in your 30s its hard to pull it off without looking too rough.
Think Kate Middleton.
But bone thin is more natural, when one's metabolism and hormones play that part. But after a certain age (agree with 30-something) it tends to look sickly. Tone (with a little meat) is fine, boney (quite obviously starving yourself) is not.
I hope you realize that this is JUST AS CRUEL as making fun of larger women for "quite obviously stuffing their faces". I am a 30-something, petite and boney mother of 2. I am constantly getting asked how I lost the baby weight (my youngest is just a baby) and when I try to explain I have a medical condition that makes it hard to keep weight on, women look at me with intense jealousy, when I would trade my medical condition for their good health and larger body size in a freaking instant.
I am constantly, constantly insecure that other women think I have an eating disorder.
Women can be beautiful AT ANY SIZE. AT ANY SIZE. AT ANY SIZE. That includes THIN. And THIN does not always mean EATING DISORDER. Think twice before you body shame other women.
Considering you already have the "ideal" figure, I don't know what you're freaking out about. Just embrace it and smile mysteriously when others ask questions instead of going into emotional fits.
She said she has a medical condition, you jerk.

Because a) the same condition that helps make me thin also makes me feel sick quite often, and yet all women (including many of my friends) can only be envious of my size, and b) I don't want women assuming that I have an eating disorder. It is absurd to think that all thin women have eating disorders.
Also, before my health condition, I was on the normal thin side because I'm naturally that way and like being active, and many, many women are that way too. I'm just saying there should be no shaming in either direction.

You don't sound fat at all. But most women aren't as tall or have your build. Typically a 10 is overweight.
Perhaps.But someone upthread seems to think she is a chunky size 4. Whatever!
Now you're making a generalization, which is nuts given your spot on description of large. Some women are short with a tiny frame. I'm not chunky at a size 4, but my best friend at 5'1 with a super slim frame absolutely is. Don't "whatever" her or others like her.

I think the bottom line is that athleisure is a lot more popular in the US than elsewhere. Yes, even expensive athleisure like lululemon.
You see a lot of jeans, tshirts, canvas sneakers in other countries but you rarely see the true athleisure like tight capri leggings, yoga pants, etc.
