Quoting libralady:
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. |
That's indeed very small, anorexic small, even. If you were a size 0 in my country, you'd have to go the children's department. I found a conversion table (http://www.usatourist.com/english/tips/sizes.html) and according to that the smallest size generally avaliable here is USA size 4.

Which translates to small. My guess is size 10 is the most common - I don't understand why somebody would considder that fat, unless they have a disorted body image :-S

Yes,it is about distorted body image. It's not fat but if someone is constantly comparing themselves to other women, especially celebrities then this can affect that too I guess. It's all about this search for perfection that none of us will ever find. I for one have always battled with my weight regardless of my size and I admit that I am obsessed with my weight and I know it's stupid and I shouldn't but it really is something that eats away at your mind cosntantly. We all know that appearances mean a lot in this day and age and weight is one thing that is easily manipulated.

Yes, exactly. I understand where you're coming from because I'm the same way even though I have always been on the slim side.
I don't understand why we (women in general) are allowing this strive for perfection affect us. Crazy we are.

Quoting susie k: just came back from my walk and I really enjoyed it!
If I'm honest the reason I'm so upset about this is because when I was younger I was always teased and bullied at times over my weight, I was always the skinny kid.
The children at school used to tell me to be careful or my legs would snap!
As I've grown older well since I've got married especially I've slowly been putting on weight. I feel for the first time in my life like a real woman! I love having an inch to pinch so to speak!
I've finally got curves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now due to the press etc I'm BIG! My head is totally messed up!
I have a constant battle with this....... I always have this little voice warning me of how I used to look and how I don't want to be skinny minny as I was known before. I used to struggle to find nice clothes.
My mum was round earlier and she said that I could do with losing a few pounds and exercising. My husband loves me whatever. My colleagues at work think that I'm perfect and often say they wish they had my figure. Some people in Turkey called me fat.
WHAT THE HELL???????????????????????????????
 |
See what I said? The mind.......... ignore everyone and listen to yourself. If you are satisfied then tell everyone else to shut up!

but the problem comes when people can't do that..or when its someone's problem with their own weight despite others saying otherwise
