....or rather, what is a healthy dress size, as of course weight will vary according to height. I've recently been on a diet and gone down around one dress size (from 16-14) and as such I've been pondering about this alot recently. It seems that people's perception of what is thin/fat or heathy/unhealthy is radically different. Whenever I read all those womens meagazines like heat and closer (oh, the shame!) they always seem to refer to people who are anything over a size 8 as curvy....which I think is just ridiculous really. To me, I'd definately think of someone that sort of size as slim. And then, at the other end of the scale, is the people who I work with....who ask me if I've been eating enough and say that I've lost weight and apparently don't look as healthy as I used to! Which isn't right at all....according to my BMI I was verging on obese before.....so now I've lost weight I'm not healthy?!
Anyway I'm not really sure the point I'm trying to make....just wondering what everyone else's views are on this!
