i didnt read the whole thread but as a girl, the title is insulting

the only girls/women i know who are a size zero are under 5 feet and are naturally small. i know one woman with kids who got married as a 00p but is now like a 0-2, BUT she is 4-10

the taller a person is the bigger the bones and the larger the hip/waist circumference, even if the person is on the low side of his/her healthy weight. my friends who are over 5-5 but pencil thin don’t wear a 0. they wear 4-6-8 because they need to-height and width wise for it to be tznius.

if i were at the low end of my healthy weight i would be a 2-4, not a 0. but i am happy the way i am now. why do i have to torture myself to lose the weight if i am happy (and healthy)? i’m already down 25 from my heaviest and down 2 dress sizes. thats good enough for me.

my doctor hasn’t told me to lose weight so if its good enough for her, its good enough for me.

ps. i’ve met a few shadchanim and i don’t recall being asked my weight, just my height.
