Lawgrl78 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm brand new to these forums, but after reading through several threads, I'm just trying to figure out how representative these people are of the average population. I've seen a lot of men and women refer to women who are, say 5'2, 130lbs as "thick" or big, when to me, as a woman quite a bit larger, that seems like a normal, even ideal frame. Size 12 seems to conjure the word obesity more often than not. I know everyone has different tastes, and I always try to account for that when participating in online forums in general, but this particular site is really making me take a hit on self-esteem. I'm sincerely hoping that the general population on here is younger and fitter than average because otherwise, I'm in bigger trouble than I thought. Anyway, I'll start: 33 5'5" 168lbs 12/14 Link to post Share on other sites
NoReallyThatHappened Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm tiny no matter which way you hack it. 31 5'5" 105 lbs 0/1/XS I can wear the same stuff I did when I was 16. Link to post Share on other sites
SmileFace Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 You really should take everything you read here with a grain of salt. Sometimes I feel like a extreme whale when reading some of these threads. However that lasts for about 3.7 seconds. Not a single self esteem lost :-). I have read these forums from a way big girl to average size girl now and you just have to learn to realize people like different things. 5'8 165 20 8/10 - varies Link to post Share on other sites
misssmartypants Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 OP- People here tend to run on the trollish side. There are a few who are very superficial and very judgmental of others. Especially about weight/size. I am 29 I am 5'2" I'm not sure what I weigh because I've been loosing weight lately through diet and exercise, but I don't use a scale because I tend to get neurotic about the number. I used to be a size 18 and maxed out at 215. Now I'm a loose size 14 with an hour glass figure. I know I'm not a "perfect" weight according to BMI charts or according to popular culture, but I am comfortable in my own skin and that's more important than any external gratification.

Star Gazer Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm 5'4'' and vacilate between the high 140s and low 150s. I workout regularly, and I wear a size 8 in pants. It makes me laugh when posters here suggest someone my size must be obese, large or unattractively overweight. I might not be thin and would feel a little more comfortable 10 pounds lighter, but I'm by no means fat. I've put some links to pictures which show my figure in my signature.
