    Size 10 or 12 is slim?!:rotfl:

    No wonder there are so many children with eating dissorders. My 4 year old wouldnt eat for 2 days after a freind at her pre school said she was fat!!!!! And its narrow minded comments like that, that can create problems with the way people see themselfs.

    Altho the comment was probably meant as a joke, i didnt find it funny

    I would love to know what size is slim in your eyes.
    (Not that I care too much, happy being a size 12 and fitting my clothes..All 5 foot 7 of me. :j)
  • What was the point in saying that little comment?

    Is it your intention to hurt people?

    I am a size 10/12 and am really paranoid about my weight, so thanks for that little gem!

    You may have gotten the wrong end of the stick.

    Immune might be associating the word "slim" with the unhealthy, almost skeletal celebs we see plastered across the media.

    Personally I see sizes 10 - 14 as just about perfect, and I'd much rather be with a happy 16 than a bulimic 8.

    Mind you, at my age it doesn't pay to be too fussy!

    ;)

    I'm a size 6/8 & I'm certainly NOT bulimic OR anorexic! Some people are just naturally slim!
