I know "I'm just big-boned" is usually a joke about someone being delusional about their weight. But in my family, something like that really seems to be the case.
Everyone, including the women, is just...bigger? Both my mom and aunt are lean, they're pretty sporty and eat well, but they were never petite. Everyone in the family is "thick" for the lack of a better word. Wide hips, box-shaped torso and thick legs. The only exception is my uncle, he's always been pretty scrawny.
Even when I was at my most thin (116 lbs for 5'5") my legs were still significantly bigger than petite girls'. Especially my calves. Is this genetics? Is there such a thing as "built bigger"? This won't stop me from my weight loss journey, I'd just like to have realistic goals...
