Mrs Beckam...............................I pity her.

[waterfalls]

I read in a magazine, that she has recently intentionaly lost weight and is now happy as a size 4 something to do with a catwalk job she has coming up.

surely this is an american 4?

so, US sizes must go to negative numbers then presumably. What's below a size 0?

you disappear as you head towards negative numbers..presumably that's when your head is bigger than your shoulders..

Think she just craves the attention .. whether positive or negative .. just to stay in the media .. saw on a front page of mag that she has no friends!

I know this sounds incredibly sad... but... any links to photos? I want to see what a size four looks like!

Below a 0 is a 00 in the US...How do I know this? From watching desperate housewives last week

\link{http://www.icircle.com/html/DIET/Celeb_diet_and_fitness/SUBARTICLE/22735.html\oh go on then}

Fastasleep, you wouldn't be able to find her in the photo. It would be like spot the ball.

OMG poor wee soul. Doesn't she have a mum to tell her off!!

There's a big difference between being naturally slim and starving yourself.

I feel really sorry for her, I can't understand why she gets knocked in the press all the time, she obviously has terrible self-esteem problems.

Oh yes my Gap jeans were American size 4, UK size 8. I thought American sizes were 2 below (ie 4 numbers) UK ones. So that would make VB an American 0.

Have not seen a picture of VB for ages. Is she thinner than ever?

checked out your link frayedknot, and what a difference .. VB looks awful, but Eva Longoria looks stunning and healthy!! Maybe VB wants a bit of what EL has right now!!

so posh is 5'8 and under seven stone and healthy i dont think so iwas 10'7 and a size ten and im 5'8 and very busty and mum fattened me up coz she said i lokked 'porntastic' and a bit like a skelly bob
she cant be healthy happy or have much energy surely but something is obviously making her feel she has to look like this

She lives round the corner from me and visits our local resturant ...where apparently she regularly orders just a plate of peas..and they eat in a private room. Sad and mad.

Haven't read whole thread so apologies if someone else has said this...

She's done this for a modelling job?? Who are they modelling to?? And what does that say about the supposed desirable norm for women??

And eating only seafood isn't going to do anything for her cholestrol...

Actually, my MIL is a size 4. She eats very little but takes ages .. eg one biscuit with some milk takes her half hour! She mainly sucks the juice of veg, but she does enjoy an ice cream! She is surprisingly strong and has lots of energy!!

Ah well maybe she's the person Zara clothes are designed for

How much do you suppose Vicky spends on her plate of peas?

she eats peas - how common - what's wrong with a few green salad leaves?

I'm glad I'm not that skinny,it must be so depressing.
Perhaps she lost the weight, with the worry of her husband sha**ing yet another bimbo.
I also pity her, must be a very sad and lonely life, even if she is loaded.

Im 5.8 and at one point after a dodgy time with food I was 8 stone, but I didnt look right at all, bones all over the place. I think your frame obviously makes a difference though. Now Im 10 stone, but there are days when I wished I was nearer 8 again.

It is horrid having a constant battle with weight and food when there really is no need from a health point of view.

I blame all my issues on this sort of media crap and was so sad the other day when my friends 6 year old said she thought she was fat and refused to eat any potatoes.

I'm about 5' 4 and take a size 6 or 8, and yes the weight did drop off naturally after I had my children, in fact rather alarmingly fast after I stopped breastfeeding ds. It can happen!

How tall is she, because I look painfully thin and would certainly not wear skin-tight clothes. I don't have a thin face though, I think that's when you can tell if someone's ill or over-doing on the diet/excercise front.

i used to be a size 6 when i was in my 20s and i was naturally that skinny i used to eat loads and not put on weight i used to get really upset when total strangers used to think it was ok to have a go at me and accuse me of having eating disorders, i put a bit of weight on when pregnant and am now the mother of a 2 year old i have recently lost quite a bit of weight again and am about a 8 - 10 im in my mid 30s now and i still get people accusing me of starving myself! i dont diet im naturally like this and i think its wrong that you all think its ok to have a go about skinny people you wouldnt start bitching about a large celeb saying about how much weight they had put on!

But you dont eat a plate of peas when you go out do you? Theres an obvious difference here.
