IABVU but I need to rant.

[HalfaFishFingerAndTwoPeas]

Why is it when someone starts a thread asking 'if your 5'2 how much do you weigh?' Or 'if your 5'2 what dress size are you?' Everyone chimes in even if the question doesn't apply to them?

' I'm 5'8 and wear a size 4'
' I'm 10ft2 and weigh 5 stone'

WHY?! It's no help whatsoever! Ok rant over.

I'm 5 foot 2 and weigh 9 stone and wear size 10.

Tru fax.

Lol, because mn attracts some right weirdos who love nothing more than to bang on about how they're 18 feet tall, a size -67 and weigh a horrifying bloaty 17 grammes and anyone who isn't them is a freak! I may be exaggerating but you get my drift.

FlyingElbows haha!!! Yes that's exactly it!

I'm 7 ft 5 , weigh 1 st 2 and wear a size 24!!

The hey ho doubters get to me.

"You're 5'2, 9 stone 10 and wear a size 12? Really? I'm 7 foot and when I weighed 9 stone 10 I was definitely size 18 but hey-ho.'

A lot of people like to show off about being slim, and since it's not really a socially acceptable thing to do they take the opportunity when it's presented.

The plum I just ate was about 2 inches in diameter.

I'm not far off Navy

Perhaps they wear an outrageous size in hats?

I'm 5ft2 I don't know how much I weigh....

I'm 2 stone heavier than I've ever been before yet am wearing a size smaller than I was at my previous biggest size. I put it down to significant weight loss followed by serious health issues meaning weight all went back on plus more but in different places....

9 st 2 at 5 ft 2 DEFINITELY makes you a size 14. Fact. I refuse to listen to any other opinions on this. If you try to tell me that you are a 10 or a 12 with those stats, you are lying. There is just no way.

I'm 5'8" and 11 stone and wear a size 10 in m&s, 12 in next and 18 in primark..

For me, I suspect it is a bit of neediness - I just want to be part of the conversation. Sad, I know.

It reminds me of recipe reviews where the person says, "I followed the recipe exactly, but swapped the butter for coconut oil, added a handful of basil, omitted the mushrooms, doubled the chilli and skipped the last step. Wouldn't bother making again"

Oh the stealth boasting of the naturally slender, or newly slim...I would be the same, if only it were true.

I'm 4ft 14inchs and 63502.9 grams. Gods honest truth

Uh, YANBU OP. I always think this exact thing, and did today on the thread this is about.

I am the height mentioned in that thread, I have no idea how some posters are a stone or 2 more than me and apparently the same size.

Allchatted why not? I'm 5ft 2 and I used to be a size 10 in every shop at 9 stone 2. Now at 10 st 10 I'm a 14. Just to do with weight distribution

I agee with SDT. See what I did there?

I find it so braggy, all these people telling you how you can't possibly eat/weigh/do that, as if people weren't infinitely variable, and different things work for different people.

9 st 2 at 5 ft 2 DEFINITELY makes you a size 14. Fact. I refuse to listen to any other opinions on this. If you try to tell me that you are a 10 or a 12 with those stats, you are lying. There is just no way.

No, your experience isn't wide enough to make that statement.

Navy and cherry just gonna throw this out there. But I'm 5 2 and I weigh about 13 stone now and I'm 12 on top and 14 on bottom. Weight is a strange thing!
