It is a little insulting to say that thin gals aren't real women. If that were true i wouldn't have 3 kids. I don't think the OP was being intentionally being offensive though, I think she just wanted to see the norm, the people that visited the site, fat, thin, tall, short, etc. What is normal? Genetics play a huge role in what kind of body you have.

To me this thread may actually be a little offensive to those with eating disorders. Do you think they would post a picture of themselves, or would they feel too "fat" to post? Do they feel like real women?

A woman is simply someone with the reproductive system that can produce a child, working or not, hysterectomy or not. I could go even further and say that it is a state of mind.

I'm going to post my picture because i'm normal. I have 3 kids this is what i look like in a bathing suit, lol.

I totally agree with you.
I didn't mean that the girl who posted this thread was doing or saying anything offensive, I just feel that in general, women who use the whole "this is what a real woman looks like" mentality aren't being very supportive of those who have had the struggles with an eating disorder or people like myself who are naturally thin. I feel there are a lot of people, no doubt, that do lose weight the unhealthy way and get too thin. However, there are women that eat too much and get too overweight as well which is just as dangerous. It's like it's become politically correct to accept the idea that all women should be overweight and women who are thin or muscular are looked down upon....like, "Oh, she must starve herself to look like that." It's simply not true. It's a double standard and women aren't being supportive of one another anymore.
