Be careful using the word overweight. Not being in tip-top pageant shape doesn't make a girl overweight. I've competed for years and am often told I'm too skinny for someone my height when I'm in "pageant shape" but am still one of the biggest girls on the stage. Girls still wind up starving themselves and living on laxatives to look like they do on stage. Casually saying a few of them look "overweight" when they're completely normal young women but don't necessarily stack up to girls who are naturally very thin (like Reina) can be very detrimental to a competitors psyche and can cause severe eating disorders, especially in girls who have struggled with them in the past.

That is not at all what the above poster was trying to say. No one competing is a fat girl. There are many not in swimsuit pageant shape. Its really that simple. And that is also a matter of opinion. Thank goodness you are out of the pageant system since this was such a struggle for you.
