Totally superficial I know but I think she looks absolutely fantastic.

Are you honestly saying that you've not seen a slim woman walking down the street before? Or is it just that you've been taking no notice?

Don't be obtuse. Of course, I see thin women all the time. I don't see women who look as slim or slimmer than Kate all the time as other posters have declared they do.

Other posters have declared her figure as perfectly ordinary and unremarkable...I disagree with that. I'm not criticising her figure...I'm just saying it not usual to see 30 something mother's of 3 who look like that. I also object to the insinuation that anyone who isn't as thin as her must be a greedy heffer.

As for the photos, I won't be commenting on individuals as I can't see it ending well.

@SerenDippitty I disagree, her social media is full of promoting the fact that its okay not to be 'skinny', you should be comfortable in your skin etc; which is all true, but she is dangerously obese. She did an article for a magazine saying she was fitter than lots of people as she goes to the gym, that is actually quite a dangerous message to spread, for sure her weight is damaging her health.

What is your weight and height?

5”6, weigh 8.5 stone and BMI 19.21

@HolyFuckballsBatman I didn’t think you were but I feel embarrassed about the responses a thread I started has elicited. I’m usually more mindful

Why is this still here!

Nothingcomesforfree · 15/07/2019 22:04

Did people not watch “super size meet super skinny” or whatever it was called. The thin people just ate very little. Didn’t matter if was biscuits or crisps or pizza ( in fact most ate appallingly unhealthy stuff). They didn’t eat much or very often.
Kate looks good because she follows that principle but additionally gets decent nutrition.

Weaponsgradeplum · 15/07/2019 22:30

I don't eat huge meals, I've never changed weight or size in 40 years. I know some people will never accept it but it is natural for some of us.

HolyFuckballsBatman · 15/07/2019 22:42

@formerbabe Goodness, make your mind up. Kate is a perfectly normal sized woman, the only difference between her and the women you see is your perception of slim.

I haven't seen anyone say that people not as slim as her are greedy. I've seen posters defending a slim build because it seems to be okay to pick them apart and say things that would be deemed highly offensive if you were to say it about someone who is overweight.

Amazing that you could find ways to pick holes in the PP who've posted pictures though - are you some sort of goddess yourself?

HolyFuckballsBatman · 15/07/2019 22:44

@SemperIdem You shouldn't feel embarrassed at all. It's the vicious posters who enjoy making awful comments about a healthy woman who should be blushing.

The actual fuck.

What are you on about?

Well I commented on the one I saw to compliment the poster, I mean what else would you do? Not sure how it won't end well if you comment kindly or if you don't like what you see just keep your thoughts to yourself.

formerbabe · 15/07/2019 22:53

Quite

To be fair, that's exactly what she said she would be doing.

Weaponsgradeplum · 15/07/2019 23:20

Well it's a thinly veiled indication that what might be said wouldn't be particularly complimentary.

Loobielouslegs · 15/07/2019 23:24

Admittedly I've not read the full thread - but from the very first posts you were body shaming thin women formerbabe

Accusations of no-one could possible have a figure like Kate and the ultimate thin shaming of 'famine victim'.

Yet you've been told numerous times by various posters that they are naturally slim? And I'd nseever think that anyone bigger than me was a heffer ffs - comes across to me by your posts you have a real bee in your bonnet about slim women for some reason? Why?

SoupDragon · 15/07/2019 23:34

Shame that doesn't extend to comments about the Duchess of Cambridge and thin celebrities.

Your post was pretty awful, SuzieQQQ - I'm not surprised it was deleted.

Have you seen the photo I posted upthread of her at the Wimbledon mens' final?

Do you honestly think she looks 'unwell' and 'dreadfully thin'...?

fancynancyclancy · 16/07/2019 07:02

The posters putting up photos of themselves are you 5ft 9? As someone who is you don’t look it but I may be wrong.

rainbowbash · 16/07/2019 07:03

suzie,
it's not possible these say that the duchess skinny/bony look is not a good one. They get deleted pretty quickly (unlike other stuff which really needs taking down).

crispysausagerolls · 16/07/2019 07:09

The posters putting up photos of themselves are you 5ft 9?

Why does this matter? My point was that I have a BMI of 19.21 and I just wanted to say that I don’t think it’s that outrageous to suggest that “normal” people have a BMI of below twenty but don’t look overly slim, or that KM has such an unrealistic body.

Also give a fuck what formerbabe thinks of my photo - your comment was a passive aggressive indication that you didn’t have nice things to say. Very odd! Usually if you have nothing nice to say you say nothing, you don’t SAY “I have nothing nice to say”. But thanks for making me laugh 😉😆

fancynancyclancy · 16/07/2019 07:12

Just to remind people - a size 12 has padding.

But it does depend on how you body fat is distributed. I was probably the skinniest I’ve been since a teenager at my wedding. I had being going to the gym to tone up but in the 2 weeks before I lost quite a bit due to stress/anxiety. My boobs only went down to a 36D so in some clothes I was still need a 12. To lose that padding I would probably need to be 8 stone. Some of my friends who are 5ft 11 wear a 12 simply because of their hip size.

fancynancyclancy · 16/07/2019 07:17

Why does this matter? My point was that I have a BMI of 19.21.

I have said all along that it’s unusual to see woman of that height that slim after 3 kids so it does matter to me. Based on my time modelling I would say KMs BMI is lower than yours, height makes a big difference.

crispysausagerolls · 16/07/2019 07:21

fancynancyclancy

I see what you mean - I am not trying to say she isn’t slimmer or her BMI isn’t smaller. I’m sure she is and it is. Although perhaps, as she is actually lovely and muscular and toned she may well weigh more proportionately.

Weaponsgradeplum · 16/07/2019 08:39

Suzieqqq your comments were vile as I observed shortly afterwards. I didn't report the post but someone else clearly agreed.
