That's how Americans used to look when they were healthier. Now we try to reframe the narrative after everyone has become obese blobs.

I looked like that in my 20’s was called olive oil and wore size 8.

You aren’t making the point you think you are making.

My son’s skinny AF, his BMI is 25, he wears XL.

Suuuuure.. I'm sure your son has the body of a Greek god to throw off BMI.

Every mom of a fat kid never admits they're overweight but rather 'big boned'.

He’s a D1 athlete so.., your a sad human, eat some carbs it helps your brain work.

Imagine being too stupid to understand basic statistics.


Ahhhhhh....DCUM. Where everyone has a BMI of 25+ yet no one is obese because they must be one or two sigmas away from the average body in terms of muscle mass.

Ha, yeah right. I'm sure you're all hulking, fit beasts built like tanks with clear muscle definition to the point of striations and massive, solid bulk.

You are all delusional.

LOL. Those are high school kids, the equivalent of today's influencers.

Now look at 50 year olds from that era. How many have flat abdomens?

8 is a 14 of non vanity sizes.

Eating disorder chick is all over this thread

Hardly. I'm a 4 or 8 in old school sizes. I am not thin. My BMI is 20. If my BMI was 24, I would indeed be fat.

Thanks for pointing out just how disordered you are.

Do you know what an outlier is?

I was underweight or at the bottom of the range for most of my life. In perimenopause, I suddenly gained about 25 pounds and was then considered overweight, and borderline obese. But if you knew me, you'd still say I was thin. I just developed a little low hanging pot belly which I hid well with clothes. I've lost about 5 of the pounds by cutting back my diet from 1500 calories to 1300 calories a day, but I really don't think I was unhealthy at the heavier weight -- I still walked a lot and was eating pretty healthy (home made food, vegetables, etc.). I just feel like if you are able to walk 5-10 miles, and you are eating a fairly health diet, that is a better measure than what the scale and BMI say.

The people I feel bad for are the ones who clearly can't walk well because of the weight they are carrying. I worked with a woman that literally tipped side to side as she walked because of the weight -- she died at age 50 with either a stroke or heart attack.
