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?

@Heartofglass12345 if it makes to feel better, I run about 14 miles per week (not in one go). I hate running but I like cake so I run so I can eat cake (although some mnetters think I should eat less cake Grin).

i am not going to even give a guess, because its a number and it doesn't;t matter xx

I would of defo said I stocky 14. Donuts a terrible picture if your a 10 (sorry!)

I can’t see your second picture ? If you posted one... A normal one of the size you look.

That’s a really bad photo then and badly fitting jeans. I’m 5ft 5 9st 7 and a 10-12. That photo looks 14-16.

@changemynamechangemynamewhen thank you! Most people have been nice but some people really struggle with kindness. I really feel for them in their world of hatred.

12/14?

SummerHouse · 29/02/2020 17:08

12 and a really enviable shape. I am more a 10 but would swap with you anytime.

Womenwotlunch · 29/02/2020 17:08

No offence Op, but you asked for people to guess your size and they did.

Singlenotsingle · 29/02/2020 17:08

Size 12. Nice flat tummy.

Olawisk · 29/02/2020 17:09

Donuts?!

I meant that’s a terrible*

GrumpyHoonMain · 29/02/2020 17:09

16

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 29/02/2020 17:09

I'd have said about a 12. Your bra doesn't do you justice I think

Wiaa · 29/02/2020 17:09

Impossible to guess size from the pic but you look slim and a nice flat tummy I'd kill for. Tbh though size doesn't really it matter it depends on if you're happy and healthy. My friends a sml 6 but she puts a pound or two on and feels as big as a house

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 29/02/2020 17:10

Although that might just be a bad picture and shadowing

AlexaAmbidextra · 29/02/2020 17:10

AlexaAmbidextra give over and stop trying to be a blatant bitch

I said I assume it’s a dreadfully unflattering photo. And I don’t know why you’ve singled me out as several others have said the same. And tbf OP did ask. Why make a post like that if you’re going to be upset by the answers?

AlexaAmbidextra · 29/02/2020 17:11

Not really worried if strangers on the internet believe me. I've said I don't think the photo is a true reflection of my size so not sure why you feel the need to have a go

Well why on earth did you post then?

kingkuta · 29/02/2020 17:13

OK it's blatantly obvious that you don't look a size 10 in that photo which is why you posted it isn't it? Because you thought it was really unflattering?
So yes, the photo is awful if youre a size 10/12 but I don't think you can get snippy with posters who are just guessing when you did ask!

Thisismytimetoshine · 29/02/2020 17:14

Exactly. Why did you post this, op, when your feathers are all ruffled because you didn’t hear what you wanted to hear?

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 17:14

@AlexaAmbidextra I am a 10-12 and you said you didn't believe me. I responded to that. I posted because I felt the photo didn't look like a 10-12 so I agree with you but saying you don't believe my size? Well that's fine, whether you believe it or not, that's what it is Grin

If you were same height as me (5 foot 7) I’d say 18/20. Height plays a huge part.

LexCake · 29/02/2020 17:15

Whoops - cross posts

mumysgirls · 29/02/2020 17:16

I was going to say size 14 purely because of your hips/thighs, you aren't overweight. From the dress photo you have a good figure. I'v 3DC and I'm very small now as breastfeeding seems to have stripped me of any fat. I'd actually like to gain a little bit back.

ivykaty44 · 29/02/2020 17:16

LexCake 😳 18/20 wow I’d expect a few bulges

MimiLaRue · 29/02/2020 17:16

Exactly. Why did you post this, op, when your feathers are all ruffled because you didn’t hear what you wanted to hear

I agree with this. OP doesnt look a size 10 in that photo which is why I guessed 14.

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 17:16

Where have I been snippy? Most posters have been lovely, I've said that. Confused
