Is Size 8 a fat size?

Question

Cuz I am one and I'm thinking of shrinking my body into a size 6. I'm 5'7 weighing 140 pounds! Aargh. Wish I was 20 pounds lighter.

So many women today are size 0-4....I'm feeling so bloated!

Answer 1

This is absured.

Sweetheart, you are nowhere remotely close to fat.

So many girls are worried about the size of their pants or their weight. Who cares if you wear a size 4 or a size 14, who cares if you weigh 115lbs or 515lbs...as long as you LOOK good and your weight is proportional to your height, who really cares about the number on the tag of your pants?

My last girlfriend was 5'9" 160lbs size 8-10 and all i could get from people was how she had such an amazing body.

Dont let the media get in your head and make you think you have to be 100 lbs and a size 2 to look good, when in fact they look like they havent ate in a week. If thats "beauty", then i dont want any part of it.

If you want to work out and lose weight, try and see if that will make you feel better. As a guy, I tried working out for a year because I felt like I would like myself better if i was in better shape. I was not out of shape, maybe 170lbs at 5'11", but I wanted more muscle. After that year of working out, I felt even more self concious, and if you dont learn to like yourself the way you are, then no matter what you do, youll just want something better. I am back to my original size, and I am happy with how I am. If people dont like me for me, then oh well, who cares.

Good luck with whatever you decide on doing!

Answer 2

Oh my gosh, no! I am 5'3 and I used to weigh 140, it was mostly all muscle as I was a swimmer. People didn't think that I was fat at all and I wore a size 10. I guess it's your own personal opinion, but if you think about it, I wore bigger sized clothes than you, am shorter and weighed the same. I bet you are extremely good looking and size 8 is not a fat size :)

Answer 3

I feel the same way you feel i'm around that size and wish I was smaller I'm used to being around 115 to 120 and trying to get back to that size but people tell I'm not fat which I dont look like an 8 but I would feel better being smaller. You can lose the 20 pounds and see what you think of yourself then but don't go to skinny and eat right and exercise.

Answer 4

At your height and weight, your body mass index is 21.9, which is perfect. You should be 20 to 25. So you don't need to lose weight. And a size 8 for someone of your height is not a fat size.

Answer 5

No it isn't fat!!! Are you kidding me????? I am 5'51/2 and wear a size 14, I only wish I were an 8, that is like a perfect size

it depend on how old you are but a size 8 isnt a fat size if you in the 10-15 size then you are on your way to fat sizes.

Answer 8

Sze 8, is not a fat size. there are a lot of women that would kill to be able to even buy a size pair of jeans or something. I'm 14, 5'5, and 188lbs(but i don't look like it) oh yea, and i wear a size 18. Don't feel insecure about not being a toothpick, flaunt your curves and represent your size 8 hips. lol :) hope i made you feel better.
