Quoting susie k:

Did anyone see that programme by Louise Rednapp the other night?
Basically she went down to a size zero for a tv show....
She felt sick, drained both emotionally and physically, and looked unwell.

Does anyone else feel the pressures to become this size?

I find that even though I have a nice figure that at times I feel fat due to all of the expectations. Also other people all have different views on what we should look like.
I find that when I am in England I am called skinny, but when I go to Turkey some people tell me to lose weight! I am 5ft 6 and a bit and a size 10 in clothes! I find all of this very confusing......................
How can I be one thing in one place and another in another place.
Has anyone else experianced this when they have been in Turkey or any other country?

I came back to UK and told everyone that I was on a diet as I'd been told I needed to be , and they were furious and told me if anything that I was underweight!


yeh i saw it..shes a sze eight and theres nothing wrong with that size...there have been a whole host of size zero programmes lately..

exactly......... I know and admit that I need to tone up but this is different to dieting! Off for a power walk now unfortunately it's got to me



hun if you are a size 10 you have nothing to worry about.but I know how you feel.I'm a 10/12 and the same thing bothers me. I think we are too demanding and picky of ourselves

I don't understand the sizing system you're using (is there some kind of converter anywhere?) but I understand what you're saying, except in my case it's the other way around. When I'm in Turkey people constantly tell me I'm too skinny yadda yadda but in Denmark my family tells me I shouldn't eat too much, watch out you don't get fat etc. Mostly it doesn't affect me because it's obvious that the only person who can judge you is yourself. If you feel comfortable in your own skin there's nothing people should tell you. Unfortunately it does affect me sometimes but I'm trying to learn how to laugh about it.

Size 0 is USA sizing, which is the same as size 4 in the UK. No idea what it would be in other European Countries. But at a guess, it would be someone who weighs around 6 stone or around 40kg. When I was a comfortable 55kg I was a size 10 (UK size) now I am a tad over that and a size 12.

I think a size 10 is a European 38./.but I could be wrong..
