Do I look overweight?

[ZippyLimeBear]

Do I look overweight? I’m the one in grey. I’ve had two kids and I think I might have let my weight run away with me, but as a typical woman I want to know if I’m being over critical? Please be honest

Im 5'9' and my levis are 28 or 29 inch. I do wear 30s sometimes but they are a bit loose. Im BMI 23/24 im 70kg. I have a flat stomach, but very wobbly and chunky arms, legs, chubby cheeks. Not much arse but hips. I think to some I look overweight, some I look thin, some I look just right (usually men). My point being I think its not as simple as all the stats, sometimes it really is where your fat lies and how people think of a 'slim' 'skinny'. I tend to think of slim as the opposite of me - skinny arms and legs - and I ignore bellies. Maybe because I am the opposite?? To me a slim and skinny woman looks good in shorts - i most definately do NOT. However, I could (I wouldn't cos Im ancient) wear a belly top as no fat there.

Bodies and perceptions of them are nuanced aren't they?
