WHY do chunky slebs always say that they've 'slimmed down to a size 12' when they HAVEN'T?

do they think we don't know? case in point Mica Paris (who looked infinitely better in the frock)... she's now 13st something and in a size 12.

there will be a dvd, oh yes there will. Vanessa feltz is still a size 12 you know... having bulked up from a 10. my arse.

Ellingwoman, I'm not from Rochdale...I'm living in Sheffield (born in Walsall) and like to think I'm an honorary northerner (just cos I love the North so much).

she's dead.

but at least she didn't die a size 14...

She's never a size 12...

Although she is "heavy boned" apparently.

My bones are heavy too - full of Krispy Kremes and ice-cream.

Be careful mrsmaidamess...you'll flake out. The loudenss of the crash you make when you fall will figure out whether you're a 12 or a 12!

traceybath · 26/05/2009 14:18

Oh and for the after photo you need to apply about 45 layers of st tropez too.

AitchTwoOh · 26/05/2009 14:18

whoops, that in reference to mrsm. twice.

I x posted witht hte dead comments. Clearly she couldn't have been dead when I suspected she might crash and burn...LOL at aitchtwooh

ellingwoman · 26/05/2009 14:22

Are you ok mrs?

I'm riffling through the first aid manual but it doesn't mention anything about vanity. Sorry

squilly · 26/05/2009 14:22

It's probably on the same page as botched botox and general plastic surgery traumas ellingwoman.

KingRolo · 26/05/2009 14:23

St Tropez makes the light weight just bounce off doesn't it?

squilly · 26/05/2009 14:24

LOL kingrolo....dashes to Boots for St Tropez just in case there's a nugget of truth in there

traceybath · 26/05/2009 14:29

And oil too - st tropez and oil! Shiny orange limbs - that'll fool 'em.

Twims · 26/05/2009 14:32

Saw her on loose women this lunchtime and thought she looked like a man in drag - no way will those shouders getinto a size 12.

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 26/05/2009 14:39

'I went to a nutritionist who told me to throw out all the bad carbs I was eating ? bread, pasta and so on'

Why do people persist with this utter shite? Bread and pasta 'bad'? Makes me very cross.

I had linguine and bread for lunch. Very healthy.

Bah.

And she's definitely just sucking in on the after shot. I think she looks great anyway, she should be happy with her curves, the daft mare.

KingRolo · 26/05/2009 14:45

Bread and pasta is made of LARD doncha know. No wonder she's a SIZE 12.

Dior · 26/05/2009 14:48

We need one third of our calories a day from carbs, so it is ridiculous to cut them out, especially long-term.

The old maxim, eat less, exercise more, is really the only one that works, much as I hate the fact. I'm still waiting for the miracle cure that makes me lose 4 stone of fat overnight...

AitchTwoOh · 26/05/2009 15:18

dior you are a tremendous beauty. i've seen photos.

FigmentOfYourImagination · 26/05/2009 15:45

she looks the same in thos epics, only obv nakeder in the 'after' one

expatinscotland · 26/05/2009 15:49

Oh, yes, I love it. There was one in a mag and she had more hamsters on her back than a friggin' pet shop.

But she was 'size 12'.

I thought, yeah, maybe in the US. Maybe if it's Liz Claiborne.

Then there are the anorexic slebs who are reported as having bulked up to a 'curvy' size 8.
