I don't know anyone in RL, that is this mythgical, celebrity size.
Are there any on here?

And I always think , where do people that size buy their clothes? Apart from in Mothercare?

Fio, don't be daft - no offence taken! You raised a perfectly valid point.

The whole clothes/fashion industry is to blame. From designers, manufacturers,teh marketing companies, blah blah.

Too many women(imo) base their health etc on what size clothes they wear. Never mind the weight, see the size!

Which is so wrong, no matter if you are small or large.

I'm a size 0 which I think is approx european 34 have been the same size since about 15 . I am 5 foot 2 and weigh about 6 1/2 stone , most I have ever been is 7 1/2 while pregnant. I do eat alot however
have a very fast metabolism, and I have to eat very regular otherwise I feel faint, dizzy etc, as a small framed person it is so irritating having to defend whether you eat questions all the time now I am 37 it does'nt bother me so much but in my twenties it was very upsetting to have people making snidey comments about your weight.
I would never dream of making fun of of people's weight but all the time in the workplace etc you get the same sort of comments 'do you actually eat' hahahha here have a biscuit hahaha, really annoying . I eat more than most of the ladies I work with eat a good size dinner etc, I think the media has become obsessed by size 0 as people have said most US shops have always stocked size 0 and the european shops its just over here they only cater in most shops for size 8 and up.

Just been in Asda on way home. Noticed their size 4 (US size zero) stuff. interestingly the only type of clothes the new size didn't appear to come in was their petite range!!! So much for size zero being to help petite women buy clothes - was available in standard and long length clothes though. Hmmm!

Build is ahuge factor in this. I was 'underweight' at a size 10, because of my build (very alrge hips / bone structure) but yes my ribs stuck out and I looked and was very unhalthy . other people are fine at smaller sizes, I do doubt the health of a size 0 in all honesty (and I am concerened that hilary finds it funny to be able to fit into a 2 year olds cardi but I fully admit that as an eating disorder survivor I am paranoid about these things).

AS longa s youre happy and not damaging your health I feel size is irrelevant, tbh.

Should add, doubt health of zero for poeopl of my height, 5' 6". MIL is 4' 10" and a healthy size 0
