Either pear or hourglass is fine (according to article) so long as you have size 14 hips -- better than being big on top and small on bottom and definitely better than being big around the middle (apple shaped).

I'm the same as Tiffini - would rather be a size 10 and live to 80, than be a size 14 and live to a hundred!!

I know, I'm so shallow!!! But I am a bit strange like that anyway. I don't really want to live much past 80 anyway

But why? (size 10 live to 80...)

Surely if it is all toned, then it shouldn't matter what size it is? I would look bloody silly a size 10, and if I could ever get some stomach muscles in line, then a flat tummy would suit me fine - be it 12 or 14.

I guess if I were a toned size 14 that would be okay, but sadly I'm not!

I am small on top, thin round the middle and have wonderful pear shaped hips .

Of course at the moment being 25 weeks pregnant I am rather more blobby looking .

Compo - since when did size 14 come with a "whale watch" alert? (paraphrasing, but you'd rather die younger than be a size 14) It's not gargantuan

oh lord above, I did not say it was wrong to be size 14 - I am a size 14 fgs. I was just agreeing with Tiffini that was all. I said I was a bit strange in that I wouldn't want to live past 80 anyway

Nah - it's just me. PG & emotional. I was very badly verbally bullied by an ex for being 'fat, ugly, useless & no-one will ever want you' for being a size 14. Took DH to make me realise I'm actually not that bad. Ignore me - it's Friday!
