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?

I’d say a 16

TheRealHousewife · 29/02/2020 16:33

14 - 16

Firsttimemama2017 · 29/02/2020 16:34

14-16
Probably high BMI but realistically a pretty normal size for a woman

Majorcollywobble · 29/02/2020 16:34

I’d guess a very trim size 14 .

MissSmiley · 29/02/2020 16:34

@m0ther what was the debate with dh about?

Thisismytimetoshine · 29/02/2020 16:35

Well op did ask, change... I didn’t just clock her photo and offer my opinion unsolicited.

IsolaPribby · 29/02/2020 16:35

You look absolutely fine, and in fact, absolutely normal. Why are you so worried about your appearance, to the point of needing to get validation from a bunch of internet ransoms?

Quicklittlenamechange · 29/02/2020 16:35

Ok Im 5 9 and 10st 2 and a size 10-12.
I think you look 12/14 tbh

winniethekid · 29/02/2020 16:36

14-16

caffelatte100 · 29/02/2020 16:37

12-14

ivykaty44 · 29/02/2020 16:38

I’m 5f7 and find friends of 5f2 who are over weight a smaller “size” than me...

So you could be a size 10 or you could be a size 12

You don’t have a belly do you?

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 16:40

@Quicklittlenamechange interesting, maybe we carry our weight differently? I fitted 14s 18 months ago but I was 11st 7lbs then. I had some lovely skirts but had to stop wearing them at 10st 6 because they fall down. Just about got away with it before due to my curvy hips holding them up. The jeans today are a 12 and I can fit both hands down the back without undoing them.

Depends how tall you are. I'm 5 foot 5 and a 12, I'd say if you are my height or taller you're probably a 14, if shorter a 12

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 16:41

@MissSmiley the debate was whether the photo was a true reflection on my size or unflattering.

VioletCharlotte · 29/02/2020 16:41

Before reading your second post, I guessed size 10-12.You look great, slim, but shapely.

JellyfishandShells · 29/02/2020 16:42

16 ?

SirVixofVixHall · 29/02/2020 16:42

I guessed a curvy ten, small 12. You look a very healthy shape and weight to me, flat tummy, small waist. I think your larger cup size may mean that people see you as bigger in a photo like that, whereas in real life they can see all of you.

SwedishEdith · 29/02/2020 16:43

I saw your photo and thought that's probably what I look like in photos - but with a less impressive bust. I'm a 12, can very occasionally squeeze into a 10 if from M&S or somewhere and my height and weight are pretty much the same as yours.

managedmis · 29/02/2020 16:43

Is say the photo is not a true reflection of your size

Di you have another photo?

managedmis · 29/02/2020 16:43

I'd say, not is say

gingersausage · 29/02/2020 16:44

There is no bloody way the OP looks like a 16 or an 18, and those saying she does are just straight up being bitchy (as always on weight/size threads). Any minute now, one of the usual suspects will be along to tell us we’ve lost sight of what a healthy weight is, and that if you’re over a size 8 you’re a giant lard arse.

Bemystarlord · 29/02/2020 16:45

I’d say 14 on top and 16 bottom with a flat stomach. Just slightly overweight bmi.

Motherofdragons how tall are you?

Wanderer1 · 29/02/2020 16:48

I am really shocked by the answers on here. I think in that photo you look like a size 10, maybe a tall 12. Everyone is too used to looking at pictures of skinny models.
