I wear a size zero. I am not too skinny. I am 5'3". I weigh 106 pounds. People are so prejudiced against people who wear zeros. Not everyone who wears a zero is anorexic. Because I'm not.

I think it's because some people might be happy at a size 6 or 8 and then society and the media starts telling you size 0 is good and size 6-8 is suddenly fat. I'm only 5ft2 myself and I'd have to be 90lb-100lb max to be a true size 0 (measurements 31-23-33). I'd actually hate to be that small (no offence) because I know I'd look terrible, but there is this wierd pressure that being thinner is somehow better and more acceptable....it's like a subtle brainwashing, even though I know I'd be very unhappy at that size.
I have no problem with people who are naturally that small, but I do have a problem when people start pressuring others who might be happy with their size to be thinner. I'm 5ft2 and a size 6-8 and even from the comments here, I'm made to feel this isn't good enough. I'm not against size 0 per-se, but I'm against the pressure to be size 0 and being short does not mean it's okay to be a size 0. If you are small boned and not underweight like yourself, it's fine. But in my case, it's not.
HTH : )

Yeah, I agree. I'm 4'11" and about 100-105ish pounds and people always say I don't weigh enough. Well, hello? You're 5'5" (the people who say that) and I'm not even 5 feet tall!
Someone who's tall and a size 0 may be anorexic, but someone who's short and a size 0 is not, just like how a size 8 may be ideal for some people, but it might be a little much for someone who's really short.
I think when most people think of a size 0, they think of super tall models. But alas, not everyone is 6 feet tall...

Well i believe that you are not anorexic. Looking from your height that is a good size for you. I think it was because of this model who died of a heart attack because she wanted to be a size 0. But she was about 5ft 11 or more. She lived on coke and lettuce leaves. They then banned all size zero models from the catwalk

I would say its the same reason that people assume that anyone size 14 and up eats tons of pop and candy and fried foods. I'm 18 and have 1 candy bar a week, at most. 2 liters is a lot of pop for me and although we sautée in my house, we never deep fry.

it would not particularly have something to do with how a lot you weigh. it has to do along with your body structure. each now and then, you are able to weigh 120 kilos and be skinny, because truly some the load is muscle.
