Uh, there is some role of genetics here..and we would have to 
define "overweight".

I know women who are 140 pounds (5 foot 8 inches) who consider 
themselves grossly overweight. In fact, our culture basically sends 
the message that unless you're a size 6 (woman) you're 
overweight..despite the fact that the average woman is size 14
