@FoodNazi001 and i dont support people that dont support other people just by the way of they look

[FoodNazi001]

I don't support fatties.

I don't support annorexics.

I support HEALTHY weight, based on the individual.

@KeishaKittie yes but what people consider to be the perfect weight, is about 10-15 lbs underweight...

@222poptarts They could be Irish and live in America.

@melaniegracee My best friend weighs 125lbs, she's 5'6, and a size five. Models would have been her size or bigger, and some shorter than her. But I didn't say that all of them were that size. I'm going by the averages. Because I wasn't alive twenty years ago. Also, It depends on bust and hip size to determine someone's dress size, so they could weigh 125 pounds but they have huge hips or bust, making their dress size bigger than yours. So yeah, I know what I'm talking about.

@Narfignugan You really don't know what you are talking about? Have you ever been that size? 

[Narfignugan]

@melaniegracee I said "along the lines of." Meaning I don't really know the exact numbers. I also made a typo, it was sizes 5 to 8. It also depends on how muscular or curvy they were to determine the dress sizes. You could have more lean muscle, and that would mean that you weigh more than you seem to. Plus, some of them were shorter, heavier, some had bigger hips or chests. Some may have worn larger sizes than needed. It all depends on so much. I'm just going on averages here.

[melaniegracee]

@Narfignugan That doesn't even make any sense. I am 5'6 and 120 lb and I wear sizes 0-4. not 6-8.

@Baileybobb Don't feel bad. Everyone is beautiful, no matter what the media or anyone else tells us.

[Narfignugan]

@synnelove We aren't talking crap about girls that tall. We're simply saying that everyone is different and beautiful, but the media favors the tall and thin. And sometimes that causes the shorter or chubbier girls to feel unworthy, and not beautiful. At least, that's all I'm saying.
