Skinny is fine, all body types are fine, as long as they are healthy. But the thing is, what we see on the runways – bones protruding – highly influences our own self images. Not so cool on eco couture. Who is buying green fashion? It really should come down to that. And Sarah Supernova, I’m your height and aspiring now to get down to your weight, as I look lighter and feel better like Sara when I’m carting around less. Either way, still feel like I look pretty good in my organic cotton caftans.

I was a US size 8 at 20-25lb heavier than you are now! I guess it’s a good reminder that dress size it’s much more about body shape and every woman is different.

I agree that the beauty and fashion industries tend to promote wildly unrealistic standards, and there’s opportunity for those in green to redefine beauty. But at the same time, I feel for my waif friends who are naturally thin and get dirty looks from other women who assume they are anorexics with body image issues just because they’re small. “Body acceptance” means accepting all bodies, even the skinny bitches. 😉 I myself try to stick to the low 120s for the best energy, mood, health and sleep quality. When I get up to 130ish, as I am now, while I’m technically a perfectly reasonable weight and think my body looks nice, my joints ache at night and I don’t feel as energized or sharp mentally. It’s always a wake up call to me to lay off the fries and get back to the yoga mat, stat!

Or that 135 pounds (the normal, average weight for my 5′ 6″ stature) was somehow overweight?

Weird, eh? I always just think of myself as perfectly normal.
