Hm...Never really looked at how small that might be. Idk, it's a slow process either way, especially when you start to get smaller and smaller, so I'm sure once I even hit 23" I'll start to feel good about my progress and might not go much lower. I have a friend who can't be more than 22" naturally TOPS (she's also under 5 foot tall), and it doesn't look too thin on her at all. I just plan on taking things as I go and seeing what looks best on my body. I in no way want to be TOO thin, but I also want to look obviously trained to my size. I don't know if that really makes sense to anyone else or not. >.< But I don't know, 22" might be good enough for me once I get there (I'm also hoping to have a 42" butt by then, and 32DDD breasts, so I guess those will really make a 22" waist look petite!)
As far as my scoliosis, I haven't seen a doctor in years. They had me going every year for a few years to get x-rays, didn't tell me anything about my scoliosis at all, and then told me it looked like it wasn't getting much worse and I didn't have to come in anymore. :/ I have no idea what the x-rays looked like, what kind of curve it is, the degree of the curve, anything. And come to find out, there are scoliosis exercises to strengthen your back muscles to help prevent it from getting worse that I could have been doing all along. I swear the doctors around here are only in it for the money. Not one of them would actually like to help people. So with my barely-insurance at this point, corsetting and working out are pretty much all I can do. I'll give it a few months and see if I get any improvements.
