Leave it to Arnold and Maria to have a beautiful daughter with her head on straight.

People, she did not offer her height and weight. Read it again this is the typical unnecesary data that is often included in this type of article. The point is that she is trying to help teens with eating disorders. The fact that almost everyone who has posted about this has focused on her size, "She isn't a size 6", really makes her point that people are fixated on size. Shame on you all for engaging in the casual petty crap that eats away at people's self esteem.

I commend her very much for writing a book about self-esteem, I think that's great. I also think it's great that she is comfortable in her own skin and has over come her issues with her own body, but I also think it is very irritating that we then have to know that she is 5'8 and a size 6. Who cares about that! You just wrote a book about self-esteem and loving your body but then throw in your size. I am 29 and have been anorexic sinc the age of 11. If I ever became 100% ok with my body and decided to write a book about my struggle with self-esteem and body image, I most certainly wouldn't throw in my size. I think that is just a little hypocrytical and very annoying. If she is a 6 or not, are we supposed to really care?

She most accurately embodies the classic "pear-shaped" physique; ideal for child-bearing and likely closer to a size 10 or 12.

She is a plus size not size 6. I know, her thighs look exactly like mine.
