Wow, this thread makes me feel insecure. My friends say I'm not overweight, but I think they're just being nice to me. I'm 5'7/8 and weigh just under 10 stone. I've been this weight and height since I was 13. I'm a size 12 for tops, and 14, sometimes 16 for trousers. I think my top half is ok - I barely have breasts to speak of (32B), my ribs are visible when I look in the mirror, my stomach is pretty much flat, and my only problems are that I have huge shoulders and long arms. But my bottom half is awful. My hips are huge, and all my weight seems to be centred around a saggy arse and huge unattractive elephant thighs. My legs seem to be about double the size of my friends' legs. There's no definition to them either, and they look like mens' legs more than anything else. They've always been out of proportion because pictures taken when I was 5/6 and diagnosed as very underweight because I refused to eat a lot of the time still show me with these huge legs - but they do have more fat on them now, and I didn't have a huge arse before puberty. It really gets me down because I feel I lack a lot of feminity because of my body. I wouldn't ever dare to wear a skirt or a dress because it would make me look awful, so I hide in huge jeans all the time. I'm always trying to lose weight (I eat very moderately and pretty healthily all the time though - no binging or rash fad diets for me) but nothing shifts it, and I just feel like I'm only losing weight from my top half. It really does get me down.
