I'm a size 10-12 and wear appropriate clothing that covers any possible thing that might be going on underneath. I'm Puerto Rican, so I have curves, and luckily the man I'm dating happens to like women with meat on their bones.

Now here's something people don't think about. I've been skinny. If I drop below a size 8 I start to look anorexic and my ribs will show. This is mainly because I am big boned and muscular. Does this mean I'm now considered obese because in some stores my clothing would be considered plus size?

And yes women should wear clothing that fits properly and not have bumps and jiggles hanging out. I immediately change if something looks off on me.

Yes that's really me. Why would it be hard to believe I would post pictures of myself?

The thing is, here's what people forget.

A size 10 can fit the following:

A girl who is 5'3 and 175
a girl who is 5'7 and 130
a girl who is 5'10 and 155

Now notice the varying weights and heights. The main thing is it all depends on how you carry your weight. One can be a size 10 and be sloppy while another can be size 10 and be in shape. Therefore automatically saying everyone who is a size 10 is fat is wrong, as I've just proved otherwise with my pictures.

I'll be more to happy to post more if you still want to think they're not me. The one in my profile was taken 6 weeks ago.

Visiting: Welcome - My Body Gallery - What Real Women Look Like is a great way to see the variations on the same weight/height/size.

There is no relationship between weight and size.

OH I see what you mean. Yeah I'll go see if I can still edit the post.

Don't get me started on bras. I wear a 36C or a 38C and sometimes a 36D depending and I have a hell of a time just finding one let alone finding one I want to wear. But that's another subject.

You realize we could think the same of your posting boasting a bikini body where you could be 400lbs. Stop being rude.
