I know this thread is a bit old, but LittleMinnie, I love what you said not thinking you were heavy when you were heavier! I am thankful that I have never really had body issues. I am pretty tall (5'9"), and when I was younger I was a size 14 or a size 16. It never bothered me much; I just saw myself as kind of voluptous.
Then, without trying, I lost about 15 pounds. The paranoia about keeping the weight off then set in! It's so funny, because people always tell me I'm thin or "normal," and the smallest I've ever been is a size 10! (I'm usually more like a 12.)
Obviously, height and body type make a huge difference. Even if I were wasting away, I would still never fit in anything smaller than maybe an 8. My frame is just too sturdy for that.
Gotta love that German breeding!
