I really struggle with not feeling good or pretty enough and when someone asked me what size my dress was she said she thought it would've been at least a 16 not a 10.

Who was this person who said you were a 16?
That's someone deliberately trying to be nasty when it's pretty obvious you are not a size 16.

@Glowingup I'm with you. I have a small frame for my height (size 6 feet) & and similar shape to the OP. People think i'm lighter than I am. But even though i'm taller at 13 stone I wouldn't look like that in a photo.

LadyGAgain · 22/10/2025 21:30

Size 10. You look tall so weight will differ but 9 stone 7?

freedo · 22/10/2025 21:31

Some people do carry weight differently

Fully aware of that, but that would mean they wouldn't look the same as the OP...

You’re both good and pretty enough. If it helps at all I’m 5ft 10”, 11 stone and a size 10-12 too and I’ve been called fat before. I have a friend who is 5ft 4” and just under 9 stone, size 8, athletic, and has been called anything from fat to my favourite ”relatively slim” and another size 8-10 friend was bought a pair of size 16 PJs by her skeletal in-laws because they “thought she was that size because she’s so much bigger then their size 6 daughters” who lived off red bull, fags, white bread and bad karma. it was bollocks.

let’s not forget the celebrities who were called fat in the 2000s when they weren’t at all, Kate Winslet and Jessica Simpson for example.

I learnt in my late 30s something I wish I’d learned a lot earlier, fuck other peoples opinions on your body. Everyone will have their view and some arseholes insist on sharing them. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, otherwise you’d be a mug. ☕️

So she didn’t call you fat.

She said she thought you looked at least a size 16.

Two different things I think?

Edited

Come on. Soneone who clearly isn't a size 16 being told they thought they were that size is insulting and someone being deliberately mean.

SqB · 22/10/2025 21:44

You look great. If you normally feel great, don’t let one person rain on your parade!

I’ve been many sizes over the years, I was only ever called fat when I wasn’t. Think when you’re actually overweight people stay quiet 🤐

12 stone, size 12 and look lovely.

About this, guessing as a 5ft 7 person, currently weigh more than that and look it!

Eyesopenwideawake · 22/10/2025 21:45

I really struggle with not feeling good or pretty enough

In which case the opinions of strangers, or people you know, mean nothing.

When and from who did you get the idea that you're not good/pretty enough?

Alittlefrustrated · 22/10/2025 21:49

Prettyrosess · 22/10/2025 19:51

Size 10? Around 10/11 stone?

This

jetlag92 · 22/10/2025 21:51

You're at the easy level though to just tone though and tall enough that it will make a difference quickly.

Alittlefrustrated · 22/10/2025 21:52

You look great OP - the person who told you youlook like a 16 is being ridiculous and trying to upset you.

ineedtoknow123 · 22/10/2025 21:52

14-16 11.5 stone

WeeGeeBored · 22/10/2025 21:59

12.5 stones size 14/16

I can tell you, Im 5ft 2, wear size 8 jeans, skirts and trousers, a 12 top ( XS in some places) yet Im over 9.stone and just touching the healthy BMI , and sat here, I look like a Buddha - fat fat belly

We all come in different shapes and sizes. My friend is nearly a foot taller, 2 stone heavier , we we wear the same size in dresses

You need to find a bit of confidence in yourself. Easier said then done, mines only here sometimes cos post menopause I dont give a f much now

But that's taken a lot of learning.

PrincessofWells · 22/10/2025 22:01

12 stone size 14, but difficult to say from a frontal picture.

neilyoungismyhero · 22/10/2025 22:02

12/14

BeerOrStout · 22/10/2025 22:02

Not another one of these!

Why?

What do you want to get out of it?

About 10 st as you're tall and have big boobs.

AbsentosaurusRex · 22/10/2025 22:03

11st Size 14

*edited to add you look great

Ifitaintgotnoswing · 22/10/2025 22:04

i’d say old school size 14
which could be 10-12 today

TappyGilmore · 22/10/2025 22:06

FFS of course you do not look like a size 16, that is someone deliberately trying to be nasty, I would have guessed size 10-12 (based on the fact that I am mostly a 12 and you’re very slightly slimmer).

Goditsmemargaret · 22/10/2025 22:08

Glowingup · 22/10/2025 20:35

As I said in my previous post I doubt it although I can believe that you think you look like that.

You can believe what you like, it's a long time ago now, I've seen enough photos. I am way less curvy now.

I work in fitness and regularly weigh and measure clients - it is amazing how different the same weight looks on people.

OP you have a great figure and that woman is a total weirdo.

Supporterofwomensrights · 22/10/2025 22:12

You look lovely and the person who upset you sounds horrible.

venus7 · 22/10/2025 22:12

Rather blurred photo, and only a section; would help to see full length.
Size 14, 10-11st.

Ladybridgerton25 · 22/10/2025 22:15

I genuinely think a lot of people aren’t clicking on and opening the full photo as the initial image looks different to when it’s opened. You do not look bigger then a size 12.
