AIBU to be annoyed because I can’t find a “body double “

You must realise this sounds ridiculous? If not I would suggest you speak to your GP as you need some help to manage this, none of your thoughts are normal.

I'm 157cm, 64.75kg and wear a size 8-10...usually 8 on bottom and 10 on top. I don't do any exercise though.

I've always been very naturally stocky with big thigh muscles but think that I might also have a big skeleton. I have big hands and feet (size 7!) and prominent bones (wrists, ankles, collar bone, top of my thigh etc) - I sound like a right picture lol 😂

My youngest daughter has a very similar build to me too. Even when she was born the midwives were surprised at how much she weighed for her size. I think it's all just genetics.

Why would seeing someone else help?
You weigh yourself and you see the scales go up or down. You put your clothes on and they feel looser, tighter or just right.
Why do you need an external comparison?
You've mentioned various weight related health issues but looking at another person wouldn't give you any insight into that. You wouldn't have a clue about their own health, fitness and relationship with food.
Your OP makes absolutely no sense I'm afraid.

You have talked about what a million times? Your weight or your body image problems? Have you told the GP you want to find a body double, that’s what o was talking about when I said speak to the GP, not your weight management. Your feelings and thoughts surrounding your weight are extreme and absolutely not normal. That's what you need help with.

If OP weighs heavy then I must weigh "light", lol.
I can't get mybodyGallery to load or I'd look for someone there who is 159 cm tall & 37"33"35" like OP.
Whenever I put my weight, height & measurements in MBG, I ended up seeing loads of people extremely similar to my physique.

If you are that worried that you are “fat” rather than muscular with good bone density, buy some of those scanner scales.

Withings Bodyscan spring to mind because I have one of their watches, but there are probably other brands (and there might be chemists that offer the service if you don’t want to spend ££.

I'm exactly your stats! 5ft 3 and 10 stone 3.

I look absolutely nothing like you, you look great. Almost all my weight is in my tummy - got chicken legs and arms, no butt at all but a tummy to rival someone 9 months pregnant.

I would guarantee people would say I look alot heavier if I showed a side shot. But I'm a total catfish from the front/back. 😂

I don't look at your photos and think 'thats what i could be' I just think, that's crazy how we're the same but soo different.

You do not look fat or overweight at all.

People saying it's "interesting" that OP fits in a 6/8 at her weight and height, because it doesn't apply to them, is the whole reason the OP has body dysmorphia!

I am 5'2" - 60kg - wear 6/8 - it's not some mystical thing that doesn't happen IRL but people will have you believe it so then you feel out of touch with what your eyes and experience are telling you.

OP - ignore everyone saying anything about your clothing size just because it doesn't apply to them. Clothing sizes are so arbitrary. As you know, they include vanity sizing that constantly changes and varies between manufacturers. You won't be able to find someone you can use to judge how you look, or if clothing will look good on you etc, because we are all built different. 60kg can be chubby, skinny fat or very muscular. Someone can have longer legs, or a shorter torso, so that will change body shape etc.

Just be healthy and don't worry about third party affirmation. You will get some, like me, who want to see you happy and others who are jealous, and insecure but will project that onto you when trying to "help".

I am 5ft 4 and weigh 10 stone (mid 40s in age). I'm size 8 with abs. I'm heavy fron muscle (powerlifting).

I’m 51 and same height, 61kg so a little less weight but also size 8 with abs.

Ok, I’m the same height as you but about a stone lighter. I’m a bit less toned than you, but not far off. I’m also a size 6/8 (except in anything that’s tight on the bum and thighs). I’m much more hourglass/pear than you. You have a similar waist size to me and much thinner legs. So I’m not a body double but a near ish comparator.

I actually cannot fathom where you are keeping the extra stone! Maybe you have very heavy bones? Two livers?? An extra brain somewhere?

Who knows? Why does it matter?

Yes same, probably more an 8 but can wear some size 6 bottoms. At 10 stone I am definitely a size 12 and look really chubby.

Its really hard to tell from a photo as you can't see someone's proportions that well. I would say the OP looks slim but would guess at a size 10. I think you look great have great skin!

And this is why we’re all different. I weigh 8 stone and am size 4/6. You weigh the same as me and a bigger size. It is kinda mental really and u get what she’s saying, she doesn’t know anyone else who weighs what she does with the same figure. Not something I would really give much thought to but it’s kind of interesting tbf

I am more straight than hourglass and that definitely pushes my size up more, i find it depends where things sit, if I was 9st I am definitely a 10 not an 8. Even when I was at my most toned I wasn't really an 8.

I have a friend who is about 5ft6 and 10 stone, she is tiny but just seems to have heavy bones (i know thats not a thing) but she has thicker wrists and ankles than me, i have tiny bones 😂

If it's iron deficiency anaemia you should be able to fix it over a few months. The advice nowadays is one iron tablet (can buy from a pharmacy counter) every other day on an empty stomach and a couple of hours before milk/tea/coffee/PPIs. Vitamin C with iron tablets probably helps absorption.

If it's period related there's hormonal contraception and non hormonal things like tranexamic acid to reduce how much iron you lose.

Have a read about 'lean PCOS' (may not be you but worth looking at if you're worried about insulin resistance).

The insulin resistance tips I've come across are: going for a walk/ moving about for a few minutes after eating. Also pairing higher carbohydrate food with protein.

Re diabetes - it's mostly genetic. Yo-yo dieting is very unhelpful. If you're being diagnosed with diabetes at your current weight it's worth looking at the unusual types of diabetes - it might not be straightforward type 2 but something else (eg LADA / type 1.5)

Remember medicines are a tool to help and may be advisable genetics wise regardless of your body size.

I can’t really follow your concern OP?

You are carrying a lot of muscle which weighs more than fat.

You know are a very small dress size and more important that you are taking care of yourself.

Looking for a body double I thought you were an actor!

You look how I'd expect someone with your stats to look. Your proportions look similar to mine before I had DC. The weight looks to be from your legs but the flat tum makes you look slim.

It depends on all sorts of things. I’m 165cm and about 63kg. I look slim but I’m a size 12, probably because I’m quite curvy my waist is smaller and my hips are bigger. A 10 would fit nice if if didn’t have to go over my hips and my boobs are not the smallest either . I’ve never seen size 6 or 8 in my life.
But it doesn’t matter what I weight or what clothes size I am at the end of the day I try to be as healthy as I can

Realistically, the quickest, easiest and most reliable way to know if you’ve put weight on is to weigh yourself.

Is this post real or a wind up?
