I know I'm not (122 lb) but the other day one of my friends asked me how many kids I wanted to have and I said about 3, then she said "good your hips are big enough, haha you know what I mean" and the whole time I'm thinking "no I don't know what you mean", but in stead of say I don't know, I just laughed with her and went on with my day. it is kind of annoying listening to all my friends talk about how they are a size 1 or 0 and I'm a 6 (i know not that bad) but the fact that a lest one of the girls starved her self to get in to a size 1 kills me. so this is a rant/how should I handle things like this in the future?

Don't take it to heart. You're a beautiful child of God. You know you're not fat, so let them say what they want. And for the record, I'm a size 5/6 too. There's nothing wrong with it. :)

To be honest, whatever girl is making fun of you is a fool. Guys don't want the size 0 to stick with. Most men enjoy hugging, and you can't hug a twig. 0 is also not healthy. It increases problems for becoming a mother, and even will put the baby in danger. Women have a layer of fat all over their bodies. That way we're like incubators. :) We keep the baby warm. And anyway, they won't be itty bitty forever. As soon as that metabolism slows down, boom. They'll eat their words. You want to know what is average? sizes 9-11. That means the average weight for women is 130-140 lbs. Here's something that may help: http://www.fullandfabulous.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=17064 YOU ARE NOT FAT. You, ma'am, are gorgeous. I WISH I weighed as much as you do.

Thank you all this has been very encouraging! I love all of you :hug:

I'm overweight. Terribly. (170-180 lbs.)

How tall are you? That tends to make a difference in how your weight is distributed.

5' 6"

5'7-5'8
