I will never be a size 0 or 2

Good for you! I had my size 2 days (US sizes), not sure if I can get back there but I'm trying! What's really important is feeling GOOD about yourself and your body and not trying to force yourself into an unreasonable standard!

I will never be a size 2. I got no chest to speak of, quite a bit of booty that was there even at my skinniest (135, I weigh 166 right now), and hips that were made for shaking and birthing babies. At this point in my life all I want is to be able to slip into a pair of size 8 jeans without difficulty and not have my legs jiggle when I'm running around my house.

Good for you!
I don't think I'll ever be a 0 or a 2 either. I do wonder what weight someone at my height (5'5) would have to be to fit into those sizes though.

it really depends on your body shape and how you carry your weight, but when I was a size 2 (in American Eagle, otherwise I was a 1 or 3 in juniors) I was about 125 lbs. I was either 5'5" or 5'6" at the time!

I actually have a friend that is a model for Bebe clothes and believe it or not shes a size 7! It doesnt seem like it since shes s tall. So don't let sizes get you down.

I am in the same boat you are, I had smaller goals , but my doc informed me they are not very realistic for me. I am big boned and have a naturally muscular build.
I weight 174lbs wear a size 8 US jean and small to medium tops.
Measurements:
chest: 38 in, waist 26 in, hip: 38 in

I actually got to the point of starving my self to try to get smaller, it just didn't register in my mind why I weighed so much.
I have come to terms with it now, and am working on maintaining and becoming a healthier person through exercise and creating healthy eating habits.

I know how you feel, and those modles have nothing on us; we will always be able to eat more calories and maintain our beautiful figures because we weight more :bigsmile:
