What happens if you are smaller than Size 0? - Page 4

JJsMom · ‎03-10-2010

A size 0 is not that tiny for someone shorter. I know a lot of short, thin women.

There are lots of really rude comments in this thread. I chalk it up to insecurity.

Have your clothes altered?

I wish I had that problem.

A QVC size 0 is more like a standard size 2/4. So, you wouldn't shop at QVC. If you are talking about a standard size 0, there are places that sell 00 now. Or you would by a 0 and have some altherations done. Or you would shop in teen stores.

Wouldn't it be rude to ask

"What Happens If You're over a size 3X"?

Isn't asking about small women in that manner rude too?

The original post reeks of resentment. I suspect it wasn't asked out of genuine curiosity.

I just don't see them anywhere.
I had my six month check up with my Dr. this past Thurs. and with clothes and shoes on weighed in at 86.3 pounds. As usual he said nothing since at five foot two I have always been little and with no health problems at 54. I have been going to this office since I was 15. It is so hard to find clothes but I do what I have to do and I enjoy exercising daily and eating. Some family and friends used to think I had anorexia but after decades with not evidence they have now realized some women are just small.
Believe me I can and have packed it on. I gained five pounds a few years ago when my Mom died since I was eating my grief and all the food given. But I realized it did not fill the hole so I went back to my same old same day and back to my original weight.
So size 0 women are out there but we get lots of grief. I did try on clothes one time in the little girl dept. but I did not buy. There was just something wrong about that. So I alter new clothes.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you don't exist. I have known a few women who were your size. I take dance classes and there are a few very tiny women there. I'm pretty small, a small size 4 currently, and even I hear comments from people about my size, as though I'm some sort of freak or nut who does nothing but diet. And it's not true. And I think, at 5'6" I look perfectly normal. I'm healthy and strong.

I just don't see a lot of small size women out and about on a regular basis and wonder why anyone would even ask what a small size woman does for clothing (if they're not a small size woman who is having a hard time finding clothes).

Unless she's seeing a lot of tiny naked women running around I think it would be obvious that they are finding clothing just fine. Why would it matter to her where they find them?

Yeah, I don't think it was out of genuine curiosity either.

No worries but like overweight people small folks get the grief too. You are definitely small. I just sent and email to my son for July 4th menu and told him I want burgers loaded a couple of different ways with homemade fries and onion rings. (I will supply dessert) I do love to eat but I am still hooked on exercise from high school/college. Getting old so I am doing less each year. Happy 4th Kitty!
