Okay, at times!!!

She tried on a pair of pants today that were a size ten. She couldn't get the zipper up... and she starts to freak out...

She calls my mom, and my mom had to calm her down. Reminding her that she JUST had a baby three months ago, and that the brand might be the reason why. Mom also reminds her to think back on the Jessica McClintock dress she tried on a few years ago.

My sister is normally a size 0, she isn't anorexic or bulemic, just naturally that tiny, but muscular too! The dress was an 8. At that time she wore a 0.

Now she is closer to about a 5, but that is due to the baby.

I'm not making fun of her, I just that it was cute! She has nothing to worry about!

Tell her that you have a friend who weighed 100 lbs in the sixth grade.............

She was about 110-112 before she was pregnant and she gained about 30 or so pounds. She doesn't even look bad!

The only time she was ever really really thin was after she had a horrendous case of strep throat. She lost close to 15 pounds which looked terrible. She could not eat a thing. I felt so bad for her... but once she was better, she gained it back.

Trust me, I know exactly how she feels.
I'm a skinny girl, and I gained a little over 20 lbs when I was pregnant. I had my baby 5 weeks ago, I'm back down to about 103 lbs, but some of my clothes don't fit *quite* right. I refuse to buy new clothes because I just don't want to look at the tag, but sometimes I have a little freak-out when I go to wear something that's in my closet and it doesn't look as good as it used to.

No matter how many ppl tell her how good she looks for having just had a baby, I'm sure all she wants is to have her body back, boy do I know the feeling!
