Its not unreasonable to guess that if she cut her size in half she'd drop below a healthy bmi or be close to being underweight and not look as good as she does there, being a size twelve does not necessarily mean that you're being unhealthy or overweight, and being a size six doesn't mean you're not underweight either.
As we've already established, you can't support an argument using BMI because it's only very vague.
Also, depending on weight distribution, dropping down to that size could mean losing only a few pounds, so don't treat it like it is so dramatic.
