If you could be any size/shape you wanted, what would you be?

Just curious! If you could snap your fingers and choose your ideal body FOR YOU at your stage of life, what would you choose? You can hypothetically eat whatever you want and remain your chosen shape.

I would choose size 10 (so fitting current clothes size 8), gentle hourglass, smallish breasts.
I have been that (and bigger and smaller) and this was the easiest for being able to wear almost anything, and feeling light on my feet without being too gaunt. I felt really healthy.

5 ft 10 and 8 stone but a fit 8 stone lean like a racehorse. Same hair, same face, same breasts, same feet but with lovely non fungal toe nails (of which I am very very ashamed and hate and loathe)

I'm 5'7, size 13. I'm all body, little legs. I'd like to be 5'8, longer legs, size 12, and I'd lose the fucking wattle.

UrbanOasis · 22/07/2025 21:31

I'm 5"8, size 14, age 61. I'm my youth I was a 10/12 but to be honest this size feels fine for me now I'm confortable with it.

lljkk · 22/07/2025 21:33

I am in the fortunate position that I wouldn't change a thing.

wheresmymojo · 22/07/2025 22:40

I’ve been everything from a Size 8 to a Size 24…

I most preferred being a small size 14, I’m an hourglass with a fairly ample chest and hips and I’m happy with that.

VeryStressedMum · 22/07/2025 22:44

I am 5'5 a size 12 and an hourglass or actually more of a figure 8 which I'm happy with but I want more of a bum, weight loss has made it quite flat so from the front I look lovely and curvy but from the side not so much anymore
Also some saggy skin would be gone

ninjahamster · 22/07/2025 22:45

I’d be size 8. (I am a size 22). The height I am now, 5ft 5. Smaller boobs than I have now - maybe a c cup (I’m a dd). Slightly smaller feet, size 5 not 6 like I am now. Slim face. Cheekbones. Longer eyelashes. Dark brown hair (mine is grey with remnants of red dye).

PermanentTemporary · 22/07/2025 22:47

The shape I would be with a lot more muscle and core training. So a size 16 and max C cup but a flatter stomach and firmer bingo wings.

I suppose if I could choose I’d bring my breasts back to the height they were say ten years ago.

KaitlynnFairchild · 22/07/2025 22:48

I’m 5ft 2 - size 6, I would like slightly bigger boobs and a bit more booty. Oh and a shoe size up - size 3 is a pain to buy!

mintsugardress · 22/07/2025 22:48

I have quite a round face and look much better thinner. So I’d keep my current height (5’7”) but slim down to a size 6/8 I think.

doodleschnoodle · 22/07/2025 22:49

I’m happy with my size (6-8 on top, 8-10 on bottom) but I would like my boobs to be hoisted up to where they were pre-kids! I’d also like a bit more definition on my arse but I’m working on it… Oh and my C-section shelf I guess but it’s small and not visible in clothes, only when naked and only DH sees that and he’s not bothered, so I don’t really think about it much. Definitely just a bit more definition and tone, my upper body is sort of flabby skinny in some places so I need to build muscle.

Height is fine, I’m 5ft 4 which feels very average and a good fit for most clothes.

Fizbosshoes · 22/07/2025 22:49

I'm 4'10 and a size 8 bmi 21 im a rectangle shape, and look stocky because im so short. If I could change anything, I'd be about 3 or 4" taller ....and similar measurements to now

Chick981 · 22/07/2025 22:51

Size 12 and a couple of inches taller, and less saggy boobs!

TheWitchwithNoName · 22/07/2025 22:53

Exactly as I am now but without the twisted spine and pelvis. I just want to look straight with 2 noticeable hips!

Starseeking · 22/07/2025 22:53

I would be a size 12 and lose my tummy. I wouldn’t change anything else as I love my boobs, bum and general shape, I just haven’t been able to shift the “baby weight” (youngest baby is 8 in October 🤣🤣🤣), and it would be great if the belly just disappeared.

tillyandmilly · 22/07/2025 22:54

Like to lose 3 stone and have small ankles and knees - I have thick set legs and cankles!

DalstonsRhubarb · 22/07/2025 22:58

I’d like to be very small and neat with a short bob and boxy Japanese style clothes. Instead I am all boobs and bum.

Notsurewheretoturn · 22/07/2025 23:08

I'm 5 foot 3 and regularly told I'm a dwarf so maybe a bit taller with longer legs?

NeedWineNow · 22/07/2025 23:12

I’m 63, 5ft 6 and 13st 10. Very curvy size 14/16. Since retiring I seem to have put a lot of weight on my belly and bum which, despite 3 dance classes a week, does not shift. I’ve got good shoulders and my legs aren’t too bad, it’s just the bit in the middle that’s the problem 🤣. My hips are quite rounded as well. I’d just like to be toned and a bit more in proportion.

I’d like long slim fingers as well. Mine are like stubby sausages.

Lionyesses · 22/07/2025 23:14

I would choose to have the body of a sportswoman - Chloe Kelly for example (especially after this evening!)

StMarie4me · 22/07/2025 23:15

Lean. Just lean.

TheCurious0range · 22/07/2025 23:18

I want the body of size 10 me with the boobs of size 14/16 me. When I am lighter I am very flat chested. Not huge even when heavier only c/d cup. I have no arse to speak of but I've accepted that.

fetachocolate · 22/07/2025 23:20

What I am now, which is a size 12-14 pear shape, but I'd be slightly larger of boob and also have a rare condition that meant I never developed cellulite. I'd also swap my size 9 feet for size 8 as maybe then I'd be able to buy shoes 😅

lifeisacat · 22/07/2025 23:23

I’m short at 5foot, a 16 top and 14 bottom, massive boobs, but they are still fairly perky.
would love to be taller, a size 10-12 and smaller boobs, maybe a C/D cup?

Gowlett · 22/07/2025 23:24

I’d like to be a slim, swishy ponytail, yoga-pants girl with a bit of rock-chick edge. Essentially, Sienna Miller. Please & thank you!
