What pants size would you classify as being small for a woman?

It amazes me that I've gained 40 pounds and am still considered as small.

I've never been underweight or anything.

However I do live in the southern US so I think that's the explanation. Most folks here are as big as outside

Note: I am not saying that one size is better than, more beautiful than etc the other.

It's all subjective. I would consider a typical size medium (8-10) small.

@ravenwind43 ok,so I guess I am still "small". It just amazes me, that I've gained 40 pounds and am still called small. 🤷‍♀️

@iamnikki You must have been tiny before:) I've been super small and to big so my perceptions of size have definitely changed over the years

@ravenwind43 guess so. Never underweight though. I've had several doctor appointments over the years, they never mentioned my weight. Everyone in my extended family started off small. Had kids and ballooned. I'm not looking forward to it😁

@iamnikki Awww lol. I started to small, then over the years put on weight, now headed back to somewhere in the middle. I will be happy with that.
