Is size 16 huge ?

[honeylou42]

I'm speaking about myself of cause, I have very little self confidence and think this is due to my size. But people always say how well I carry my weight and that I don't look that big. I think I dress really nicely but some people seem really happy in their own skin which leads me back to thinking they have self belief, and that certain je ne sais quoi. How do I get this ? I would be really grateful for any tips

weight to height more important than label in knickers.

did whatever-it-is do up before? Does it still do up? That's how I keep an eye on my weight.

If 16 is huge, then I am so big I should have my own gravity field, and a moon or two.

I judge it by how easily you can buy clothes. If you can find your size in supermarkets and most high street retailers, you aren't huge. I have to either make my own clothes or buy them online. Next step for me is specialist, bespoke marquee manufacturers.

I'm 5 ft , it is on me! I'm fat at size 10 frankly !!

I think it depends how toned you are. I am a size 15 (!) and look far far worse than my friend who is a size 18-20. She doesn't wobble anywhere and can wear what we she wants as long as it's the right size. I look squidgy and have a belly that hangs over my belt. Grim.
