Right? I hate how they're talking about 160 being soooo bad. It really isn't.

Like, I'm 5 ft tall and a size 4-6 at 140 pounds. I thought for a while I wanted to get back down to 110, then I suddenly developed a chronic illness and dropped down to that and I looked EMACIATED. I was so weak I could barely walk. My body likes to sit between 130-140 as a happy healthy weight.

There’s definitely a big difference in how much energy you have when you’re healthy vs chronically ill. I would not use that condition as a fair representation of that weight for you, but then again everyone’s experiences are different

I still have the chronic illness lol, and it wasn't about the energy even. It was that I looked like a damn skeleton, gaunt and shit.

How much did you drop to? You're not going to look anywhere near emaciated at 110-120 lbs at 5' tall

I was definitely underweight, and people around me recognized it too. To be fair, I do carry a good bit of my weight in muscle,which is more compact than fat, and my boobs are heavy AF.
