Funny...a HUGE feminist article of faith is that gender norms and especially slim body type are the rotten product of a white male infested society. Ads and movies ruin the optional "fat n' happy" female existence. No one seems ever to mention the medical establishment's constant hectoring about obesity.
I'm sitting here eating burgers and potatoes topped with loads of butter, sour cream and bacon as i'm reading this haha..
I looked up a BMI calculator and figured out mine.

I'm 5'7 and weigh a whopping 96 lbs. That puts my BMI at:
Your BMI is 15.1
This is below the BMI range of 20-25 which medical experts generally consider to be healthy. Based on your results, you should consult your physician or other medical advisor to discuss whether weight loss is suitable for you.
I'm also 15 weeks pregnant.. I think this would probably scare most Drs. My Dr knows i've always been skinny but I seem to give birth to big babies.
