how tall are you, vesta? I would be anorexic at 125lbs, even 135lbs I look like I have cancer. What are you like 4' tall?
Gina I was 5'3'' as a full grown woman, time and age has me at 5'1" as the bones do shrink as we age. Hard to believe I lost 2 inches in height, but it happens, I watched a grandmother go from 5' 8" to 5' 4" in her life. My Dad at 5'10 shrunk to 5'5" and my mom at 90 went from 5'2" to 4' 10" today---Darn she is just a little bitty Mommy now.
Interesting what will happen to my youngest daughter that as an Adult hit 5' tall when she gets up there in age. We call her the midget of the family now, at 50 she will shorter then her grand kids.
Bone structure has much to do with weight, at 20 years old I had a doctor tell me that if my bones were less dense I could glue feathers on my body and fly-----NO shit.
I have broken most every bone in my body through the years, by the time I was 5 I had broken my right arm twice. Horse back riding and falling off, chipped bones, and ice skating an ankle. Both knee caps shattered in a less then 3 inch fall at different times ,shoulder broken in 3 places in a fall, all covered by OCHA, work place hazards, and any if not all ribs cracked at one time or another.
As small as my bones were it is a wonder I could have born 4 children and not broken my Pelvis. At the time of birth I was sure this would happen, it definitely felt like something was getting ready to let go.--------Woman to woman here fortunately all my baby's were 4 pounds and less, thank God they just fell out fast. { last baby had the seat imprints from the car seats on her forehead, it was that close.} 3 kids sat in the car at midnight alone, I was taken into the hospital and 20 minutes later their dad came out to drive them home. WE HAD A GIRL.
Only good thing I can say for having small bones and low weight is NO ONE ever dared to confront me, hit me slap me or push me, to do so was to face attempted murder charges or to kill me out right. Now had I been just a bit larger, weighed more, life would have been different back then. Only now do I realise how it was DNA that helped me survive, and today I thank God for the protection I had.
Now Today I would love to get fat and happy, try something different, Chubby cheeks take out the wrinkles and crows feet.
