I have clothes ranging from 8 to 14, and look at my weight! I don't give a shit about clothing size other than a vague judge of my weight change/stability - noone sees the sizes so who cares?
I'm really fighting the urge to be very very insulting here, but I think you (and your mates by the sounds of it) have some serious issues with body image. |

Agreed.
Everyone is not meant to be a size 8 or 10, and the idea that they are is just plain stupid, for lack of a better word.

Size 12 women.
I can see what Christie's getting at - a standard size twelve may look a bit heavier on a shorter frame and people generally don't want to look heavier than they are, but really, when you average out at size 10 at our heights you needn't be worrying at all. You'll only look overweight (and that's really what this all boils down to, 'looking fat' as opposed to actually being overweight) if you wear clothes too tight for you so your flesh is squeezed about into overspills and lumps - I've seen a lot of girls on the street doing this who look heavier than I'd estimate they actually are due to this effect.

The woman in blue was modelling for John Lewis. They're changing their mannequin sizes to 12, and had to get that model in from abroad because they didn't have any UK-residing size 12 models in the agencies they searched within.

Funny-sounding. Leave the model-bashing for the Miss Scotland thread, though.

Aye but I'd rather have the swedish burd's legs.
Also, which one of those two would look best in a bikini?

The one that doesn't look like Skeletor The Hideous.
Anyone that thinks that girl's body is desirable needs their head looking at.

I've worked out that the Swedish woman must be 5'10" to have a BMI of 16.1. And Jen Hunter would look better because she doesn't have sticking-out ribs and the legs of a 9 year old... and, well, she actually has a shape that a bikini would show off well, whereas Marianne is pretty much straight up-and-down. When was 'prepubescent child-giant' more attractive than 'mature woman'? Berglund would be more suited to looser, flowing garments, not things that cling.

If she was black Billy Connolly would be on the TV giving it the crocodile tears.
She is that emaciated.

The only thing better than seeing that Christie and Mwezzi have posted in this thread is if Metalmaiden101 had posted too.

I only posted out of a sense of duty to GET DEBATIN'. I've not argued enough recently, I have a quota to fill.

Whilst I fully understand the concern over Christie's views, (and I admit I was a little taken aback too), I dont think comments like Quote:

I can't possibly describe how fucking idiotic this is. Crystal is different - she doesn't have to diet to we the weight she is. If you do, then I really think there's something wrong. From what I've seen of you you look pretty skinny at your current weight - if you lost another 3 stone you would be ill. | Quote:

I'm really fighting the urge to be very very insulting here, but I think you (and your mates by the sounds of it) have some serious issues with body image. | are of any help if you're seriously wanting the girl to re-think her ideas on body image or weight loss. I'm not having a go, I think the rest of the posts are fairly spot on, I'm just of the opinion that there may have been a less aggressive (for want of a better description) way to get your point across.
