Don't hate me Mel.

I can't imagine a size 0 fitting anyone other than a 5 year old :S

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I just don't understand your sizing system. Until I actually see a size 0 pair of trousers I have no idea how big they are. But if that's the equivalent of a UK size 2 (which just doesn't exist) then I just can't visualise it.
Especially when I'm underweight at the moment and still the equivalent size of a north american size 8/10.

But I think I know one person who's the same size as that size 1 and she's probably less than 5 foot tall and very skinny.
I wonder if the urban outfitters here have american size labels in them. I think that's going to be my best chance of getting this sorted in my head.

i'm 5'5 or 5'6ish and i'm a size 3 and i'm considered at my 'ideal' weight though i'd like to drop a few more pounds
i edited it because i didn't think the link was working, i guess it was?
i couldn't see it

I could see it fine.
And I'm 5'9" and when I was what various health people seemed to think was my ideal weight I was probably a 10/12 in american sizes.
Someone somewhere is lying. Why can't the sizing just be like boys'???
*goes to do more investigation*

So ... I compared the sizing guides at urban outfitters and next.
According to them ...
UK size 10:
chest = 34" = US 6
waist = 27" = US 8
hips = 36" = US 6
UK size 6:
chest = 31.5" = less than US 3
waist = 24.5" = US 3
hips = 33" = less than US 3
So that whole US sizes = 2 less than UK ones thing appears to be a lie. A size 6 is still pretty thin unless you're short though.
Also English people seem to have bigger waists! Though I think the American sizes would fit me better

What's with all these "Bridget Jones" commercials where she keeps saying how fat she is? She's not fat! In fact, I find her just as attractive like that as when she's playing a skinny part!
What's up with that?

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

I thought she looked horrible in Moulin Rouge. She was so skinny it was absolutly unnatural. I don't understand why either. Woman of that time were not that thin. If anything I think she looks much healthier and cuter in Bridget Jones. And I think the movie is playing up on that fact that no matter how thin or thick a woman is, there is absolutely no way to get around the pressure to be skinnier. Most of them buy into it too.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
