'Size Zero'

[dogzr#1]

That's my problem too, Zara. It's a pain in the arse to find pants. Most of the time they are too big at the waist, but perfect length. However, I am lucky and have a good size body. Like not nasty skinny but not quite 'average'. I get lots of compliments because of that. I eat just as much as I always do, but my lucky genetics prevents me from gaining weight.

I don't think that banning a certain size will make girls gain weight, or lose it. It will just make shopping a lot more difficult. Ugh, the problems of weight these days. I remember when I started middle school my mom had to tell me not to worry about what kids told me concerning my weight. She was always made fun of in school for being too skinny because the 'in' weight back then was to be 'average' to slightly chubby, not super skinny. I wish it was still like that. *sigh*

I think it's ridiculous that they're banning clothes. Okay, so let's pretend that DOES deter folks with eating disorders from continuing the habit. You're (as in the company[ies]) still putting the naturally thin folks out. Plus other issues.

I don't know if I have a very fast metabolism. I rarely exercise and I don't have the healthiest diet(it seems most unhealthier foods are usually more affordable). I'm 4 feet and 9 inches tall and am 100 lbs. I have bad self esteem so whether or not that's "normal" or "okay", I am not sure.

Ugh. I am certainly no size zero, nor have or will I probably ever be. People are always making fun of me for my weight, and I just wish people would stop.

Anyways.. Every single teen with every single article, magazine, and photo is sending the message SKINNY IS IN, SKINNY IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE. And pressure just sucks. I think they should be worrying a little more about the people dying to be skinny, but not completely eliminating the clothing size for the people who don't kill themselves for that. The size elimination isn't going to make people eat and gain weight, it's just going to piss people off and give them nothing to wear. What do they want you to do, run around in your birthday suit? Some people can't help if they're skinny, just like some people can't help if they're overweight.
