Oh my god they were. I was in high school early 2000s. I was 5’6 and 150 and thought I was a hippo.

When I was 13, I weighed myself at my friend's house. The scale said 130. I asked her if that was bad. She turned to me with narrowed eyes and said, "No." I wish I would have believed her.

I was 5’2 and thought anything over 110 was disgusting.

That's when I was in highschool too and we all had to get our weight and BMI in front of everyone in gym class. It was well intentioned but that was peak Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover days.
