Am I unusually heavy for my size or do I have reverse body dysmorphia?

[SaltySeaWitch]

Name change as this is incredibly obviously outing if you know me at all.

I’m often seeing threads with women saying they weigh X amount and are Y size, or have a low BMI and wear a larger size than me or think they need to lose weight. I can’t tell if I am unusually dense (yes I’m aware that muscle is ‘heavier’ but I’m not an elite athlete by any stretch!), or just think I look much slimmer than I actually do 😂

I’m about 166cm. What do I weigh and what clothing size do I wear?

You have big boobs though and that'll make a difference! One of my friends had a breast reduction and they took off 6lb and she's still left with decent sized boobs! Meanwhile my tits are contributing bugger all to my total weight!!

If the op is more than about 10 stone ish, then she is absolutely overweight. I'm not saying she doesn't look great....she does but we have truly lost our perspective with weight. 12, 13 stone is obese, whether people like it or not.

You wear a size 18 and weigh around 13 stone.

I agree with PP that you have an in proportion body shape and look good. At 5ft 5 ish, I’d guess you are around a size 14 and weigh around 12 stone.

11.5stone size 12

Correct. I'm your height, currently 9 st 6 and that is much too big on me. I'm comfortable at 8 st 12, only get waiflike under 8 st 7.

@OhMerde 10 stone at 166cm tall is a BMI of 23 so definitely not overweight!!

I'm saying size 12, 10 stone.

Based on me

I'm 1cm taller, wear a 10-12 and am about 9.5-10 stone.

Can't get an 8 over my boobs, or to do up around my tummy (well I can but I get a roll)

Also, sizes mean fuck all.

wtf I posted my own and I weight 10.5st

14 bottom, 12 top. 11 stone

Is say around 12 stone and a size 14. You look great though. Very in proportion

I can’t make any useful guesses but I also have a thing where I feel like I must have heavy bones or something. Doctors always say I’m clearly a healthy size/weight, one even called me tall and slim. I’m actually overweight according to BMI and my body seems to refuse to go below 13 stone (at 5’9”). I’m strong and large framed but not super muscly or athletic. So I conclude it’s a thing!

I'd say 12-14 and 10 stone 13 lbs. I think you look great btw. A lovely slim waste and toned arms.

I went to the doctors about 6 months ago, she asked me to stand on the scales.
She then said I was borderline obese and had I considered weightwatchers. I left the surgery feeling so pissed off as I’d gone in about horrendous pain in my shoulder.
Photo of me….

Lovely figure! Size 12-14 and about 11 stone I would guess. You look great in your clothes

Maybe a size 12?

You look really great - fit and healthy, and certainly not overweight. You've got a really good figure and you look pretty toned to me. I suspect most of your weight is muscle.

FWIW my BMI put me at 'overweight' even when I was a size 8-10. My friend, who is about the same height as me, weighed less than I did and she was a 14-16. So I honestly wouldn't worry too much about what you weigh and just focus on how you feel and what fits you.

Size 16 and 13 stone. Nothing wrong with the way you look but I can tell you are overweight.

I'm 5.8 and weigh exactly 10 stone here. This was 2 weeks ago and I definitely didn't feel in any way slim.

What a nasty comment, the person in the photo has a lovely figure and is never a size 16. Are you jealous by any chance. 😏

You look great ! I can't believe how much people vary at the same height. I am your height and a stone lighter but this weight is a stone heavier than my ideal of 8.4/8.5. I have a very short body and longer legs so the weight accumulates in the middle.

I'd say you're Size 12 and 10 stone, based on my friend who is about the same height as you. She is muscular but slim and is under 10 stone.

11 stone and size 12

Gosh, I’d agree you have lead for bones! You do not look that heavy.

These threads are always brutal, some of the replies!

I don’t mean that heavy. Argh. You just look lighter.
