I really couldn't give a shite what size I am.
If I like the way I look it really doesn't bother me.
I couldn't starve myself into a size 4 even if I wanted it, it looks gross and unatural unless the person is genuinely skinny.
A couple of my friends are really weight conscious and it so frustrating watching them not want to be heavier than X stone, or wear anything above a certain size.
The way it's percieved in the media really doesn't help, there's too much pressure on teenage girls to look 'right', in my opinion.

I can see exactly why girls wanna be so skinny.
Cause I've seen it a million times when I've heard boys say 'No she's too chubby' or 'No have you seen her thighs they're huge' about girls who are size 10.

Think of it this way, why do you want to lose a couple of pounds? even though your a size 8/10?
It's exactly the same reason as why people would want to be a size zero.
"to look good"
Its vanity..
I'd love to be your size, and you want to lose weight? Even if it is only 1/2 pounds.. you sound fine.
And another reason is because it's fashionable, convenient..
I'm not condoling it, It's just obvious to me why people would want to do it, I however find it a gross size, but I suppose put in their positions and if I was naturally slim and it was easy to do..I'd find it tempting, to be honest.

i'm sort of with michelle on this one. you're a perfectly normal, healthy size and you still want to lose one or two pounds? that makes you as daft and unreasoning. and who would notice one or two pounds anyway? you'd look exactly the same. with that kind of thinking you're not much different to a size 6 person wanting to lose weight. you know you're thin enough but you just want to push it that little bit further.

I know what you mean. Some mens opinions of "fat" is shocking. But yeah I personally think its gross. Not to mention unhealthy. And you wanting to lose a few pounds at that size is just as silly. I know loads of girls who are like a size 16 and totally gorgeous. They know how to dress in order to suit their body shape. And are bloody stunning. Its all the media's fault. And people are just as silly lapping up what they say.

I am naturally a size 6/8 and absolutly hate it. At that size clothing and at 5"11 with 34" legs you can't find clothes to fit, I mean I cant but a pair of jeans that cost less than £30. I am happy with my actual body and it's not like I don't eat, I do nothing but, I just don't put the weight on.
I have fit into a size 4/zero prom dress before, last year and went straight to macdonalds and stuffed my face because I hated the fact that I was that skinny. Although this is my veiw now I used to be on the verge of eating disorder, but don't think I could ever want to bring my weight down ever again!

Im naturally thin, size 8. I eat like a pig and still don't put weight on, the only thing I hate though is my legs, I wish they were "fatter"
I don't think I've saw any size 0 knocking about though!

I can deffinately see why people would want to be a size zero. Especially in the media these days with all the celebrities getting tinier and tinier. Like Victoria Beckham. Personally, I like her. But it is a complete lie that she is naturally skinny as there are pictures on the net, and in magazines, of her when she was in the Spice Girls in the 90's, and she was alot bigger then. And to be honest, she looked alot better. It's worrying that most girl's aspire to be like Victoria Beckham.

I don't know one girl who who wanna have a body like hers. Shes fucking disgusting.
I don't think its wrong that she wants to loose a couple of pounds even though shes a size 8/10? If shes gained a couple then I don't see whats wrong with her wanting to get rid of them. She obviousley feels comfortable at a certain size. And its the same with me.

I think the problem is though, that the size girls feel comfortable at seems to be shrinking every year.
MOST girls wouldn't mind losing a few pounds. To me this just suggests that girls would feel comfortable smaller, dispite what size they are to begin with ... meaning smaller=better.

Yeah, I mean I don't think it's right either. If that is their natural size then that's fine. But all I'm saying is people who starve themselves to look like celebrities from the magazines really do need help. It's only because of all these false images we see in the media. And with photographs being airbrushed too, the average celebrity is a size zero stunner. Let a few of the more natural pics come out, and there will finally be a different image that teenage girls will see and look up too. That's all I'm trying to say.

Yeah you are right tbh.
Girls who WANT be that skinny though must be blind tbh unless you are naturally skinny you most probably suit it.

You know what confuses me. When they made this big deal out of Britney Spears putting weight on. She looked completely fucking normal! And yet they were putting it in the magazines saying she had let go and loads of shite. Ahh. thats what annoys me most.

I know! Any celebrity who puts on weight, no matter what size they were to begin with, is shamed. And yet, weight loss is praised!!
It's only when pictures surface of their bones sticking out, that the media suddenly say it's terrible and they need to put weight on.
Why can't they teach us to be happy with the skin we're in by showing pictures of average, normal healthy girls, rather than showing themselves as two-faced?!

I know yeah. And when she performed at the VMA's last year. Everyone gave her such a hard time over her weight. Which was disgraceful seen as her stomach was flat. What do they expect she just had two children?
Twats.
