I'm close to 5ft 9 and the smallest I ever got down to was between size 4 and 2. At my bottom weight I was around 128 pounds and my husband commented that I was "straight up and down" and my face was gaunt looking. I currently wear size 6-8 and mediums in normally cut sweaters. My biggest problem is that I'm long armed and have long legs and a long torso,getting things to fit my length often means they're too big in the body. I can't imagine how I'd look at 114 pounds.

My wife is the same way. She has longer legs than me, wears a 34" Levi in the legs. I wear a 32", but Im taller than she is overall. She also long arms, and torso as well like you do. It is pretty annoying at times finding clothes to fit her. All these sales you see, or clearance items are 95% of the time larger sizes. So we generally have to pony up and buy from Express, Limited, or stores like that. Stores that actually carry her size. Sadly.. its equally as hard to find jeans to fit my girl, who is 9. Tall and skinny for her age, just like her momma. If we find jeans that are long enough, they're too big in the waist. So we have to get her jeans that are adjustable at the waist... which isnt easy.

My wife doesnt look bad at all at 114, and an inch shorter than you.. pic in my sig of her and I at the Marine Corps birthday ball last month.

Your wife is beautiful but unfortunately we don't all carry weight the same way. When I get below a certain weight,my chest leaves and my face and neck get really gaunt.

that pic is old though, i dont have any of those vehicles anymore.... that wagon was my very first car i ever owned, bought it for 800 bucks cash when i was 16 lol... the van was a hand me down from my parents, it was a total POS, the tranny only had 2 gears that worked..

Seems about right for you.


BTW, how was jail? Or did you puss out and pay your fines?
 
Also keep in mind this is body weight. I am 5'8" 158lbs and I'm not fat in any sense of the word. A more meaningful stat would be to post Body Fat Percentage (Probably not any better than the misleading weight...)
