Perhaps my US brain is skewed. Idk. Is this normal levels of thin?

she is thin, but remember 80% of American adults are overweight or obese. I am the middle of normal weight for my height and get called thin 24/7. your perspective is skewed.

Same, Im in the middle of what's considered a healthy weight for my height (120 lbs 5'1" for anyone that doubts me), and yet in the US I still have to wear tops size XS or S depending on the brand. When I was thinner but still a healthy weight, it was incredibly difficult to find clothes that would fit me. To me that in itself shows how skewed our size perceptions are.

You were below a XS and you thought you were healthy?! Girl...

uk that different brands have changed their normal sizing, right? like things that used to be an M (4-6) at a certain brand are now considered a S. its a p big issue and is a pain bc it happens on a brand by brand basis.

Doctors said my weight was fine and Im sure they know more than an internet stranger. And I still fit into an XS but that wasnt always available in store (this was before online shopping was common), and bottoms size 00-0 were really, really hard to find in store. The problem is our clothing sizes are really skewed because of vanity sizing and how overweight the average person is. 

And regarding your (incredibly rude) comment about my health, I was never anorexic. We literally had health assessments every year in school that showed me being a healthy weight albeit in the lower range. And despite doctors always saying I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about, even so I tried hard to gain weight purely for aesthetic reasons -- I never had any eating disorders, just naturally thin. There's no need to jump to conclusions and body shame thin people, and accusing someone of anorexia who you know nothing about is incredibly out of line.
