Ture. I DO dream of looking like Kate. I think she looks awesome.

Some of you have got to be lying about your weight. I don’t understand how many people here allegedly have a BMI under 20 if the average American woman is obese.

How are there so many 5’8/120 or 5’4/110 lb people? Where are you all hiding? I don’t see that many people who look significantly thinner than me walking around. I’m 5’4-5’5, around 120, and I honestly could not find 10 pounds on me to lose. I have a 25 inch waist and a six pack, visible ribs and a thigh gap. No cellulite. You can see my veins on my arm muscles and all the definition on my legs. I could not be in better shape unless I trained with professional athletes or something. I have 17% body fat. How are there all these women apparently who weigh that much less than me? Do you all have no muscles at all?

Not only does your metabolism change as you get older, being super skinny doesn't look good. It sucks. Body-wise, I could lose 10 pounds and still look fit/thin but my face would look like trash (I'm in my 40s). Another reason it's better to focus on fitness vs. being skinny.

I think when people say "genetics"- it's not just being able to eat whatever and be naturally thin, but also frame size. I have a VERY small frame. I've seen people of my height post that they look "emaciated" at 140, and that would NEVER be the case for me. At 140 I would look like a potato on stilts.

This made me laugh and I so relate. I’m 5’8” and 150-155. Before kids I was 130, but really struggled to lose the weight and I’m not interested in restricting food or working out that often right now. I have that mix of genetically small frame like you (my pinky and thumb wrap around my wrist but with just a bit of overlap) but not genetically blessed metabolism (if I eat “normal” for me I don’t lose weight below 150, but I don’t gain either). I totally have that potato on stilts look right now. I get double chins and jowls at this weight even though it’s average. I have no boobs and it just reads as a layer of pudge.

Hard times are coming.. if the princess can not afford food.. what about us..

But after my babies were born I ate whatever, and still lost weight. When I was busy at work and not working out, I didn't gain. It's just genetics.

oh yeah? start feeding her full cake a day and watch genes in action.

not eating make people skinny, eating make them.. not skinny.

I am in my 40s and naturally thin. I workout sometimes but also can go months without doing anything and still stay thin. I also eat whatever I want and have never been on a diet. I do agree with previous posters that people who are naturally small usually have a kind of natural appetite-control that makes me feel full sooner. I also think genetics are huge because I just have a small frame and my most naturally "comfortable" weight is somewhere between 110 and 120.

When I am stressed or depressed I tend to lose weight. Sometimes it creeps up on me and I'll think it's just a mood, but then I'll notice my jeans hanging off me and realize that I am clearly losing weight and need to focus on my mental health. I don't own a scale and only ever get weighed at the doctor.

One thing I find rather fascinating about all these types of threads is that no one ever mentions age!

When I was 28 I was very active and could drink and eat a lot of crap and it really didn't matter. Lots of women in their 20s are genetically gifted that way. Around mid 30s it starts to become apparent that oh sh*t I need to actually start paying attention to what I am eating. Now im in my mid to late 40s, it is more challenging. All the "genetically" thin people from my 20s have disappeared

I've come back into contact with friends who through their 20s were thin, thin skinny minnies. In their late 40s they have popped back into my life.... and they are obese. It's really disconcerting.

In your late 40s there is no such thing as a woman who can eat massive amounts of food and "genetically" stay thin.
However, there are women who stay thin naturally because they eat less. They may eat all sorts of things, but they just are able to eat a small to normal portion and that is it. They feel uncomfortably full and turned off to eat another bite. Most of us as we get older struggle with a strong desire to eat, eat, eat.

I've found that staying very low carb and walking and weights keeps me in good shape. I love to run, but its harder to control my appetite when I do.

I don’t think Kate looks sick, although I think at times she has seemed exceptionally thin, but not all the time.

I do think a lot of posters on this thread have some incredibly disordered thinking though

You b!tches could only dream of looking like Kate

She does to me.

In what way does she look sick? What do you look like and who is your ideal?

DP. In her modeling years she looked like she came out of a concentration camp.

I look fine. I’m my ideal for me. 5’4. 118. Can run a mile in 5:35.

My ideal is anyone who eats well as in real food, works out, and fits their natural body type.

That’s awesome that you can run a mile in 5:35. I also think that weight as a metric on health or even looks has very little value. Speed, amount you can lift, that you feel better today than you did last week—those metrics are worth pursuing. There are people who give up or make excuses and those people I can’t admire. The people who celebrate weighing 300 lbs on social media with all their 300 pound friends or won’t even walk their dog.
