How do all these hot famous women have such small waists?!

What are you on about? You obviously know nothing about dress sizes, size 8 is perfectly healthy and a size 16 is not. My sister used to be a size 16 and she was largely overweight according to her BMI and she didn't look nice at all. Of course she's a size 10 now and looks so much better.

Size 8 is slim not skinny... You perfectly illustrate how much of an issue obesity is in our country. A few decades ago a size 8 would be normal, quite common but today its seen as this unrealistic goal to aim towards.
I can't stand living in a nation with ridiculously high obesity rates when there's so many people dying of starvation and malnutrition across the globe. It's sick. This country needs to sort itself out. If you look at the people when you walk down the street, nearly every other young person is over weight. If you look ay the older generation there's a lot less overweight people. It's wrong and we shouldn't be embracing it.

I also have back dimples.

I dont like bones showing on my women and slim isn't skinny FYI.

do you realise that a womans size 14 in the 60s is now classed as a size 8? its called vanity sizing, womens sizes are getting larger to make you feel better even though people are getting fatter.

I reckon a lot of it is plastic surgery, I heard somewhere that Kim Kardash had surgery on her waist as it is TINY compared to the rest of her body! Could be wrong though, but dont forget about that little thing called air brushing

Genuine question, what the hell does plastic surgery on the waist involve?

(I'm a guy and not particularly fond of or interested in cosmetic surgery, hence total noob.)

the words are synonyms, they have exactly the same denotational meaning.

you can use the word slim and skinny to describe someo ne and the would both be correct. the only difference is connotations.

No they're not.

The word skinny is used by fat, lazy people (mostly fat/larger women) to describe slim women when in fact slim is a proportional and healthy weight for a woman who is not in the size 14 range or above.

Skinny is size 6/8 or below and yes, you can see bones on skinny women. Slim women have fat, muscle and a bit of shape to them but are not 'curvy'.

Learn your lady shapes son, it might become useful one day.

i dont see how it id possible tbh. other than lypo, but that doesnt mean it is impossible to attain naturally, it just means you have to work for it.

They work out and watch what they eat, it's that simple.

Yes, you too could have a good figure if you have the willpower to do the same... orrrrr you could make excuses like:

"oh itz dem genetix"
"dey must be in da Jim 25/7 herp derp"
"dey must only eat dem saladz herpy derpy"

Choose wisely.

I think genetics does play a part though- I'm slim and I do work out, but whatever size I've been my waist doesn't really get proportionally slimmer, because the weight comes off my boobs, hips and thighs and not really off my waist. Obviously the fatter you are, the bigger your waist will be, but I'm not sure that you can really alter your body proportions significantly with just exercise. I admit that I might be wrong here, it's just from my own experience.
