I have the problem that I'm quite small (5ft 5, size 8) but people think I'm a lot bigger. For example:
- I asked a sales lady yesterday to translate a size 36 for me at Kookai and she said "Aah I'm afraid this is a size 8, sorry" clearly assuming I'm much bigger than I am.
- At a recent bridesmaid dress fitting I had the same issue...I told the lady I was an 8 and she said "hmmm I don't think so, let's start with the 12 shall we?" and she was shocked when I was an 8.
- At a swimming pool the life guard said "you can't use the slides when you're pregnant!" I wasn't.
- I did go to the doctors when I was having fertility problems and I asked if this could be because I was underweight. He laughed and said "haha you don't look underweight to me!"
- My mother in law always talks of her other daughter in law, saying "she's so small its not fair, she's not like us eh?"
You get the picture! Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being bigger but I'd love to know what I'm doing that makes people think I'm a lot bigger than I am. Do you think I'm paranoid? Or do you think its the clothes I wear/way I hold myself?
Cheers ladies!
