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?

Hilarious that the poster saying how sad it is that women feel we need to look a certain way etc... And then goes on to insult slim people with a small chest and bum. Wtf!!!!!

DownWhichOfLate · 29/02/2020 20:36

@Neednewwellies. Huh. That does sound like a size 12. Hips might even be a 10. How odd. Where do you hide the weight?! Ah - Reading back, some of it must be your chest! As an aside: have you done the Boob or Bust measurements? I know there’s a love / hate relationship with it on here but you probably aren’t a 36” band by that calculation.

IdblowJonSnow · 29/02/2020 20:40

Really hard to tell from that pic. Anything from a10 to 14, really cant tell.
Normalish anyway.

Neednewwellies · 29/02/2020 20:43

Thanks. Yes I did that and that’s how I’ve ended up 36E. Previously I was dropping in a 38D. I feel my boobs look dramatically better in the smaller size with the bigger cup. And yes, my boobs are very full and heavy. My legs are also like lead. Good point is they don’t wobble much, bad point is they don’t really tone any further even with intensive exercise. Also have size 8 feet! Grin

I'd think 10-12 for sure. I don't think it's a flattering photo, it's very close up.

bushhbb · 29/02/2020 20:46

Isn't it sad our perceptions of a perfectly healthy lovely figure is skewed because of the skeletal figures we idolise in the media. I'd rather look like you any day OP than a bag of bones with no tits or an arse.

Didn't see who posted this, but you sound very insecure. If you're so very happy with your appearance, why do you care about anyone else's?

Sounds like jealousy to me.

And since when we're naturally skinny women worshipped? Your comment is a prime example of how thin people are degraded in society.

DownWhichOfLate · 29/02/2020 20:48

@Neednewwellies - I know how you feel! I also have size 8 feet and very solid thighs. Grin. Good for running and swimming!

moOmOoMooo · 29/02/2020 20:49

I was thinking 16/18

QueSera · 29/02/2020 20:51

Size 14, healthy and look great

Neednewwellies · 29/02/2020 20:54

Wink @DownWhichOfLate, yes, I swim regularly. That’s probably to blame actually. 🤔😆 It’s just disconcerting that my BMI puts me in the obese category. Oh well!

blujohnstons · 29/02/2020 20:57

Honestly when I first looked at the photo I knew straight away wasn't the best angle and the way your arms are held in the photo would possibly make you look bigger.. I hate when you see a photo of yourself and think Noway am I that size.. but it looked to me your about a size 10 and I'm also very jelous of your flat Tummy!

PanicAndRun · 29/02/2020 20:59

I would be really curious to know if the people saying 16/18/20 are skinny,fat or a mix.

Winter2019 · 29/02/2020 21:02

I'd say 12/14

notthemum · 29/02/2020 21:03

First photo not good at all and I would've guessed 16/18 but second photo much clearer. Definitely no bigger than a 10 bottom. 10/12 top. In the 2nd photo you look amazing and I'd kill for a figure like that. 💐

lightnesspixie · 29/02/2020 21:06

14? 16?

WhatDoIDooDIoDtahW · 29/02/2020 21:07

12-14. Just looked at the picture on still on page 1/14 so gonna scroll through to find the answer if you’ve told us already! You look lovely

JoshLymanIsHotterThanSam · 29/02/2020 21:08

I’m 5 ft 8 and size 10 and would probably look like that from the same angle. However from other angles I look like this

Or slim?

PanicAndRun · 29/02/2020 21:13

This is an 18 , or i suppose by MN standards a 32.Hmm

Sizedoesntmatter · 29/02/2020 21:14

Photos can be very deceiving OP! Here’s a pic of me...wanna hazard a guess at my size? Just for perspective?

GMAILFAIL · 29/02/2020 21:16

I did this once.

Was told mostly 14/16

Was a size 22

You can't tell from a pic. That's why Instagram is so popular 😂

Thenextstorm · 29/02/2020 21:20

It was 19:12 Wereeaglesdare who made the vile comments. She can't spell either ....

rumandbiscuits · 29/02/2020 21:23

Some people on here are utter twats OP I would say I feel sorry for them but I don't, pretty sure they're as miserable as their posts are!

From the picture in the OP I would say 12 but seeing you second photo 10. You have an amazing figure and can definitely afford to be eating cake when you want to! Ignore the nasty comments - jealously!

AmICrazyorWhat2 · 29/02/2020 21:26

Thing is, curvier figures can be gorgeous. My DD is curvy with a big bust (DD). I'm a UK 8/10. I'm guessing she's 12/14 (we're in the US) but she's taller than me with long legs, so everything looks proportioned.

She likes her bust and "booty, " looks great in jeans and dresses because she curves in the right places. I look like a stick in some outfits. Grin

Lobsterquadrille2 · 29/02/2020 21:27

@Sizedoesntmatter you look like a 12?
