I am a tall person at 5' 7" and have yet again lots weight due to stress. I went to buy jean shorts at *****art. I am no.4 according to what I had to purchase. I am hoping their system is being triggered and I am still at least no 6. I do try to eat I feel so ugly now.

I don't know what 4 looks like, I'm not in US, but I understand you are feeling unhappy because you have lost weight through stress.

This has happened to me in the past, and it is awful, also quite isolating because most people complain of putting weight on so many don't appreciate how unwanted loss in a problem.

I aimed to eat calorie rich, nutritious food when I could to maximise gain. That said, I think the best solution by far is solving the cause of the stress - but that is not always easy.

Too skinny? Too fat? Sigh. I don't understand women's clothing sizes anyway. Who can be a "0"?

I hope you get happy with your weight soon.

If it makes you feel better, it has been my experience that Walmart sizes run big. (I am assuming your tale takes place in Walmart, because they are everywhere.)
Also, a 4 does not seem hideously thin-it seems quite normal to me-but you are a better judge of what is a healthy size for your body.

A 4 in the United States is a European size 36, I believe.

I range from a 4 to an 8, depending on the brand. I definitely wear a smaller size at stores like Target and Walmart than at stores like Bebe or Nordstrom. Maybe I'm biased because I'm about the same size you are, but I think a 4 or a 6 is pretty average and not particularly small.
