When you see women of normal weight but has abnormally big legs they may have lipedema.
Lipedema or lipoedema is a chronic disorder of adipose tissue and lymphatic dysfunction generally affecting the legs, which causes the legs and sometimes the arms to accumulate distinct patterns of fatty tissue.[1][2] It is distinguishable by six characteristics:
it can be inherited;
it occurs almost exclusively in women;
it can occur in women of all sizes, from the seriously underweight to the morbidly obese;
it involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles;
unlike normal fat, lipedematous fat generally cannot be lost through diet and exercise;
the adipose tissue may present as painful, or, there may be pain when pressure is applied to the lipedematous areas;
a pathognomonic indicator of lipedema is that the feet are spared.

>>38563Lipedema is disproportionate to the rest of the body;
it involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles;
unlike normal fat, lipedematous fat generally cannot be lost through diet and exercise;
the adipose tissue may present as painful, or, there may be pain when pressure is applied to the lipedematous areas;

It's hormonal. Look at the OP pic. That's not normal fat distribution.
The rest of the pics ITT are pure speculation though.

>>38567It is not a criticism of these people or their weight to suggest that they may have lipedema. As you can see from the OP pic there are different stages of lipedema. It gets worse with age and general weight gain.
Even at her skinniest, with gaunt face and all, Misha has thick legs without a lot of definition/shape. At her varying weights you can see she has a tendency to carry the weight in her legs and they lose a lot of shape as she gains.
In this pic it doesn't look like full blown lipedema but it shows the tendency of her fat distribution while she is very very thin elsewhere.

Jane Aldridge (Sea of Shoes) has a tiny waist and upper body, but her legs look very disproportionate in comparison.

>>38585No we all just get tired of all the retarded ana-chans on this site having Ana contests with each other and trying to
trigger the other anas as much as they possibly can
No. 38588
>>38586you can't even really control lipedema through reducing caloric intake so this isn't an ana thread… it is a hormone based health issue. this is actually something that affects a lot of women who might feel frustrated and ashamed about something and they don't even realize it has a name and an etiology and there are online resources for help. like this anon
>>38578 so why are you making this about anorexia when it's really not, r u
triggered?

Maybe if you are more than 300cal a day your brain would function correctly and you would have some reading comprehension

Man, lolcow is truly filled with anas that want stick-thin bodies to look like kawaii lolis desu ^_____^
I personally think "thick" (not fatty) legs are hot

>>49582i think it's because they love kawaii fashion and there's a lot of glorification of anorexia and extremely unhealthy underweight body in east asia (sadly).
it's very sad tho
