The whole size thing is ridiculous, some people try and squeeze themselves into a size which is 2 sizes too small to claim to be that size and other wear larger clothes. A size 8 can be someone with a small frame who is curvy or someone who is thin with a larger frame. I've read quite a few threads where guys have said they wouldn't go for a girl under a 10 and some for a girl larger then a 10 and then I've seen some who won't go above 120lb which is stupid, everyone is a different size and shape and an individual some are curvy, some are thin just like some are tall and some are short. The whole perception of people saying a particular size or weight is wrong as there can be quite a bit of variety of shape within each size or weight.
Society is unfair no matter what size you are. I was tall and thin when I was younger and always got asked if I was anorexic and I remember one girl ignoring me and asking my friend if I was anorexic and if I fainted a lot because I don't eat. I stopped growing at 12 and grew boobs and people stopped with the skinny remarks, but I've been putting on weight recently and now been told I need to lose weight, although this is coming from my family which is even worse especially when I'm a size 10 and it's purely because I've hit 9 stone which is a perfectly normal weight for 5'4. The weirdest one is when one of my friends said I have a strange body because I go in at the waist and this is when I was a size 6-8, so no matter what size or shape you are people will always comment because they are insecure about themselves or just want to put you down.
Somehow everyone will just have to learn to love themselves because every woman is a real woman, it's stupid to think otherwise.
Sorry about the rant I've been reading a lot of these threads lately and they are really getting on my nerves.
