What size would you guess I am?

Today I've seen a photo of me and I feel I look much bigger than I thought I was. Dh thinks I look fine. I'm wondering if my brain is just completely unable to identify what is normal anymore.

What dress size (UK) would you think I am and where on the bmi - healthy - overweight or obese?

If you fit size 12 then you're a size 12. But, the photo and the clothes are unflattering. I would have said 16 from just that, but probably just the angle based on what you've said.

The second photo was posted at 16:57 if that helps

yes I do find it interesting that someone would look at a photo of me and think size 18 and another person think 10. I guess it shows most of us don't really have a clue on size.

To be fair, you didn’t put your height on right away so could have been any size

OP THERE IS NO SECOND PHOTO

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 18:20

@lilgreen 16:57 the second pic is posted. I only posted one initially

I'm more interested in what you're holding. Is it a heat gun?

ScarlettBlaize · 29/02/2020 18:21

No, there is no second photo.

lilgreen · 29/02/2020 18:21

Yes I see your post at 16:57 but no pic!

Bluntness100 · 29/02/2020 18:22

I also think unflattering photo . And some people are just having a laugh saying an eighteen. You’re clearly not that.

I’d have said a size ten waist and up and a fourteen on hips and thighs, a pear shape and you carry your weight on your hips, possibly backside. and thighs.

It’s very hard to tell on pics, unless it’s in comparison to someone else where you know the size.

faracrossthepond · 29/02/2020 18:22

@m0therofdragons In your post of 16.57 indicates there's a pic, but it's not there.

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 18:23

Laser tag gun Grin

No idea why some can see the pic and others can't.

Or it shows you posted a deeply unflattering photo that makes you look 2-3 sizes bigger than you are!

I cant see a second photo either

flossiewossie124 · 29/02/2020 18:24

14-16. I agree that there's not much good that can come from posting this online as you will only focus on mean comments.

ScarlettBlaize · 29/02/2020 18:24

@Bluntness100 And some people are just having a laugh saying an eighteen. You’re clearly not that.

She's far more plausibly a size 18 than a size 10, let's be honest here.

Krong · 29/02/2020 18:24

I'm a size 10 and your height and we look very different. I have a friend who is a 14 and same height and her legs/hips are definitely smaller... But we all carry weight differently. If you don't like how you look, change it! But what are you trying to get from this post?

lilgreen · 29/02/2020 18:25

Post it again op.

CassidyStone · 29/02/2020 18:26

I can't see a second photo.

The first photo is unflattering because of the angle.

I'm not sure why you posted - you're a size 10 - 12 with a flat tum after having twins! You shouldn't need positive affirmations from strangers.

whiskeylullaby2 · 29/02/2020 18:26

I think the first one is just a really unflattering pic. I would have said at 14 in the first. But 10 in the second. The 2nd pic shows a lovely figure.

The first just caught you at a funny angle

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 29/02/2020 18:26

OP please ignore the posters that have clearly just come for a fight 🤦🏻‍♀️

lilgreen · 29/02/2020 18:28

Really want to see the second photo now.

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 18:30

@lilgreen
Try this - posting exactly the same as before so not sure if it will show up

What size would you guess I am?

No. Are you posting second photo using the app? In which case only posters viewing using the app will be able to see it I think.....

Yes I'm using the app. Didn't realise people didn't use the app.
