I think there are plenty of 'chicks' who would still look fabulous after adding substantial weight to a size 6/8 body. Stick skinny is for models. Healthy women have something to grab hold of.

I was a fit 160 when I was injured. I ballooned to almost 190. I got back to 169 last summer but am back at 180 for the winter.

Meds are part of this weight issue. SSRI's make weight management difficult.
