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

If you are 159cm tall then you are 5'2".

And your waist to hip ratio seems way off. Your waist does not look 25", versus a 35 inch hip. I wonder if you are using a tape measure correctly.

Ok so I'm 5ft 3 and 13st. Let me reassure you. You are by not fat. Not by any score of the imagination. Healthy BMI for our height as a female (I'm assuming you are from the pic) is between 47-64kg so you are bang on but BMI doesn't take account of muscle. Looking at your pics you are clearly not carrying any excess fat and are very muscular so I wouldn't worry your head about whether you are in the right BMI. You have clearly worked hard with your body.

I went to 9st and felt skinny rather than slim so put weight back on. I also do martial arts and while I might be considered to be overweight based on weight alone, my body is a powerhouse. I tend to go with do I need to lose inches rather than what my weight is. I think you might feel better if you do the same. I would love abs like yours!

I'm not clear on why you need to find a body double though? You would likely find one at a female gym who completes in body building? If you don't like feeling boxy as you put it, then you need some help from a PT to define different areas or dress differently rather than comparing yourself to your family.

Well no, because nobody would know her weight unless she told people.
OP clearly has some health anxieties and obsessing about this isn't helping her. That's why people are questioning it, to try and show how ridiculous it actually is.

No doubt I will read all this thread because I am bored, but what the hell?

This might be one of the most bizarre threads ever!!

Who cares if no else shares your stats or looks like you

Yeah exactly this. OP is bonkers in a non clinical way

For those suggesting she speaks to her GP about these strange thoughts, they're not going to be bothered by eccentricities like this, she isnt 'unwell' mentally, she is just bog standard self obsessed and fixated in a non diagnosable way really, they'll send her away with a 'there there' and nodding along

This is very strange, especially from someone who, from the pics. looks to have a completely normal figure that isn't wildly out of kilter with her weight and height stats.

i just wish I could find someone that I saw and thought “yeah I look like her”.

The reason that you can't isn't that your body is rare, it's just that we are all bad at judging our own appearance/figure to some extent, and some of us (those with body dysmorphia and/or weight dysmorphia) are worse than others. The fact that you are so hung up on this quest suggests a degree of dysmorphia, and is also the reason why you can't find a resolution to it: your assessment of your body has been corrupted by restless over-analysis and scrutiny.

I think people just carry weight differently. Im same height as you, a stone lighter but a completely different body shape..doubt id find a body double either lol. I wouldn't care about the number on the scales if I had a body like yours.

Well, actually, people told her to not compare herself to others and then immediately compared her to themselves in order to tell her how she couldn't possibly be the size she claimed to be so, yes.

Not sure what the question is you are asking but if you are unhappy about your body eat healthier and move more.

I am very confused.

Does your body work? Do you feel well in yourself physically? I don't really understand what the issue is, other than anxiety.

You look quite muscular so that’s where the ‘weight’ may be coming from.
You are quite rectangle shape and don’t look like your waist is 10 inches smaller than your hips like an hourglass but this could be bum measurements.
It does depend on body shape. I’m hourglass/figure 8 with a higher hip shelf so can’t fit into smaller sized trousers as I couldn’t get it to do up on my hips but then the waist is too big. Someone rectangle shape or inverted triangle of my weight could fit into the smaller size because it will go over their hips as they aren’t as big. Someone apple shaped who carries all excess weight on the stomach couldn’t fit into my size because the waist won’t do up but will fit over the hips. Pear shaped it won’t go over their thighs. Everyone is different
The key is to dress for your shape regardless of the size on the label.

Honestly I'm thinking your family is jealous and projecting.

I’ think it’s because you don’t have a defined waist so it makes you look bulkier

I’m lighter than you at 57killos. & 5ft 6
but I look tiny because my waist is tiny and my stomach is flat and I have boob implants so I look curvy even though I’m very slim
I have clearly defined abs and ribs
I can vary from a 8 -10

Well you are bound to look much smaller than the OP your BMI is much lower so it's not really comparable.

I have to confess that I've given this too much thought. I think you look your height and weight as someone with a relatively high muscle mass but I don't think you look like someone with a 26 inch waist at all.

Yes this is where I got to. OP looks great just to say, knock out figure, but I’m really struggling to believe she has a 26inch waste, if she does her frame must be very small, she has said herself she is “boxy”, she has an undefined waist, 26 just seems very small to how her frame looks and in comparison to her hip figures which look much closer to the waist figure.

I feel you must have your height wrong. I weigh 12kg less than you, and my BMI is 21.4 but I have back fat, bra fat and muffin top. And yes, I exercise a lot. I look lumpy and you look amazing. Your abs are fantastic. Why does it matter? Is your GP telling you off for being "overweight"?

But how is finding someone with the same body shape/ size going to help any of that?

You look great.
I find those bmi charts annoying, you are relatively short which means according to a bmi chart you should weigh virtually nothing.
But you are toned and healthy and probably weight a bit more because of muscle mass.
I wouldnt worry you definitely are not overweight whatever the pesky bmi charts say.
Im 156cm , 5ft 1, and weigh between 59 and 60kg ,roughly 9.5 stone, fluctuates a bit. I am.just in the healthy bmi but only by a fraction! I look more curvy than you, my tummy is definitely wobbly and not taut. To be in the middle of a healthy bmi i think id need to be about 8-8.5 stone which i dont think is realistic for me now, i havent weighed that since I was in my late teens.
Im 55 and had 4 DC so maybe that doesnt help. I do go to the gym/exercise classes but not religiously and I do like my food.
Im happy with my body , although would like a more toned tummy and defined waist and a slightly lower bmi but not prepared to put in a ton of effort to get it.
I take anything between a size 8 and a size 12 depending on make and cut.
I thought you meant you wanted a body double for holiday photos😄

Ive just realised OP says upthread she is autistic. So this will simply be a fixation for her, doesnt make sense, not rational but in her head she wont be able to lose it. Thats why many of us are finding the thread unfathomable and bizarre.

I’m 5.1, 59kg and a large 10 (at least a 12 in pants cos who wants tiny pants) it’s bonkers to compare yourself to someone with different genetics and maybe at a different stage in life. Being obsessed about being overweight has got to be as unhealthy if not more so than actually being overweight. An exact weight on the scale does not protect you from any of those diseases in so much as keep within a healthy range. Your weight will fluctuate because you’re not a robot, I think you’re missing the wood for the trees.

You must be short! When I'm 10 stone I'm a size 8, when I'm 9.5 stone a size 6 falls off! I'm 5'7 though.
