No matter what I do, I will never be smaller than size 12, or maybe I guess if I honestly borderline starved myself I could get down to 10. Different people have different bodies. While big boned can sometimes really just mean 'fat' there are people out there who genuinely are big boned/tall/extremely muscular/a combination and who, despite having healthy lives and no medical conditions will never be smaller than their current size. There are also people with certain medical conditions or on certain medications who gain weight no matter what they do.
Now, I believe in healthy choices, and I encourage people to make them. But blanket statement about individuals who you have ever met and literally know nothing about are never okay.
