Give me a woman that is a bit overweight over one who is that skinny any day.

Agreed. If I lost weight my husband would stuff me with cheese fries.. We got married to be healthy and happy together, I was 107 when he met me and he was always saying I was too skinny. I didn't believe him till my pic got posted on the Dirty and 40 replies about how I was too skinny with no ass came up. You never know that when you're thin, you may not look sexy because women are obsessed with being skinny. I work hard to stay muscular and with a bubble butt. If you're uncomfortable with hips and a booty YES 140 is too big. But believe me I wear short shorts every Day at my job and No ones complaining. Why do I w need to be like everyone running a marathon to be skinny. ??? I don't wanna shop in n the kids section I did that already .. 00s and not being able to shop at the gap or old navy at 5'4 if you're too thin your only option is buying clothes made in France for French women.!!!! No thanks. Whoever posted that 140 is too big in the first place has NEVER tried to dress a petite body

I don't know why people always feel the need to insult another body type in order to justify their own. If you like your body at 5'4", 140, 160 or even 180, great. But I don't see the need to say things like "5'10", 125 is unnatural" or "5'4", 105 is too skinny and isn't sexy." Why the need to insult others in order to make yourselves feel better?

It depends on the BMI. Some women with higher BMI may look skinny on paper but turns out they are just skinny fat and not much lean muscles. Which is the case for women who appears to be skinny but carries a lot of chest and thigh fats.

Agreed. I've always been heavy on paper but I work out a LOT and my BMI is well within normal limits (19). My gf couldn't believe how much I weighed when I told her (145). I've got the ghetto booty, which is odd for an Indian/Irish girl, and I have very big boobs. These remain no matter what types of exercises I do. My legs are quite strong and muscular. My arms are much weaker, but I had major shoulder surgery on both shoulders, and I have never been able to improve them much since then.
