I don't think one should differentiate between models and women in general, I do think an attractive figure is one that's considerably smaller than average normal sized.

Come to Canada poppet. You will find that "normal" is for a teenage girl to have a gut like a darts player and still stretch tight tops over the torso.

Bollocks.

Souvette has been large in the past. I've seen the photos.

She is currently 125lbs, is five foot five and a 34c-26-34. This is because of a proper diet and regular exercise; she jogs a lot. She will be 46 in a couple of weeks and still turns the heads of men young enough to be her kids.

The "gene" excuse is weak, unless there is a gene that makes people eat Big Macs for lunch every day.

Height one can do little about but, if one doesn't care to balance calories and exercise, liposuction will resolve a variety of volume issues.

sensible eating will get you to a healthy weight for your height and excercise will tone the muscles but only severe calorie retsriction will get most people to a supermodel size. That will not result in a healthy body.

I can turn heads and am not large -BUT am def not supermodel sized!

What exactly is unhealthy about it? Granted, it might not be useful in the event of a famine or for keeping warm in winter, but those aren't really concerns for most people.

For starters increased likelihood of osteoporosis. Reduced effectiveness of the immune system, Anemia, Menstrual irregularity and infertility problems...

A certain level of body fat is required for many critical hormonal functions.

There are of course numerous other serious health effects from reaching an underweight condition through extremely low food intake (rather than just having a naturally high metabolism rate), including Heart, Kidney and Liver damage.
