Say like size 14 but curvy or size 10 but no arse and just like a stick.

I would rather be skinny without curves.
Having large breasts is problematic especially in a heatwave.
I would love to be straight up and down.

It’s all about health for me and speaking for myself I’m not healthy at size 14. I’m currently an athletic build size 10 and I’m fine with that. I’m a long way off being stick thin and I’m closer to the top than the bottom of my BMI range.

OP a size 10 is pretty unlikely to be stick thin. Maybe a size 6?

Maybe if somebody is tall. I’m not “stick thin” at size 6, just slim.

Me too.

I’m a curvy size 12. If I had to choose between being a curvy size 14 or being a skinny size 10, I’d go skinny.
