under total, negative stereotypes, not sure what to do?

The take away from this thread: MelindaWarren is awesome. You are wise beyond your years, dear.

I know because I grew up with a 5'4" mother who had no idea that I was a normal weight at 5'8" and was freaked out when I hit 140 in middle school. Ignorance is not an excuse. Clothing size means very little, especially as it can vary from line to line.

AOII Angel, me too, except my mom was 5'1", perhaps 100 lbs soaking wet, and she freaked out when her 5'6" daughter hit 130.
