Truth.
I've seen a lot of women who are visibly much bigger than I was, but weighed less than me. They carry their weight differently, or their shape was different, or they have less muscle than I did, or their bones were less dense, whatever.
Even now... there's that one swimsuit model who's a size 12...can't remember her name. But she's a size 12. And I'm a size 10. And I look nowhere NEAR as good as she does--not in my wildest dreams. She's smooth and lean and firm and slender-boned. I'm wobbly and pale and flabby and hippy.
So even size to size isn't always a comparable comparison. It's not like converting teaspoons to tablespoons to cups. Weight to size to body doesn't evenly translate between people, or even in the same person.
