What a size Zero really looks like.

My prepuberty eleven year old daughter just outgrew her size zero skinny jeans. She is thin, athletic and beautiful, also she is 83.5 pounds (doctor visit last week) and five feet tall.

I've been watching the size zero models for quite a while now, envious of their thin arms, legs, behinds. They have small breasts and the cutest waists, but seriously... size zero. They are a smaller size than my daughter! Please, she hasn't even gone through puberty yet! She hasn't moved out of her training bra yet! And there isn't a bit of fat on her body. And they are smaller than her!

Forget it. Just be the size you are, be healthy, and be whatever beautiful you can achieve. Size zero is smaller than you think. While there are those women, who finish puberty and still have a thirty-two inch chest measurement and a thirty-two inch hip measurement without ever starving themselves, they are few. For most of us, at least for those of us in this family, that size is best left for those who are still prepuberty, still children.

Thanks Janet
