Just how skinny must celebs be!!!
Nicki
Posts: 8,166 Forumite
I've recently been dieting and have managed to get down to a size 10 in virtually all the high street stores (with the odd size 8 or 12 thrown in for a slightly differently cut thing)
I have been looking for a dress for a special occasion and today decided to hit the designer shops in Bond Street to see what I could find there. I was more than a little demoralized to find that in the designer shops, where the celebs hang out, I was actually a size 14
So, the question is: all these celebs who are apparently a size 10 - just how skinny must they be in real life!!! And what about the ones who make no secret of being even slimmer than that, like Posh for example. She must literally have a handspan waist (not at the moment obviously as she's due to give birth tomorrow
)
Anyway, inspired me to lose that last few pounds to bring me down to target. Though I will still never fit a small size in those shops.

It works both ways. Mrs G just bought a size 6 'bodycon' dress online and the thing is hanging off her. She loves the dress but they don't make them in a smaller size. If she keeps it, she's going to have to take it in by at least four inches.0

Probably the same place Mrs G bought her 'size 6' marquee.0 -
If you have tried many things to get that weight but still couldnt see the result you want then you may want to drop it. Just kidding you. Have a better thinking in losing your weight. No matter what you are dealing right now the most important thing in your life is your health. Anyway good luck for the diet program.0

they are like skeletons with skin on - really, I used to work in the same building as a girl like this ( 6 foot tall & probably a size 6-8) and in the summer when she wore t-shirts you could literally see her skeletal frame (not nice) Size 10 is great I'm 5' 7" and at that size I look ill (only been that skinny once) I'm sure that a lot of photos we see are doctored,just look at the candid ones in magazines - all the celebs have woobly &l umpy bits showing in these too. Be happy with what suits you - you'll now if you are over or underweight - being normal is healthiestproud gran to 4 lovely boys and one little girl0
