Do you think size 0 is toooo skinny?!?

Question

These celebs surely cant be healthy, its quite worrying that Posh is going in the same direction, I always had a bit of respect for her, but not anymore!!
And she says she eats....yeah right!!

Answer 1

Yes, size 0 is too thin. Size 0 did not even exist a number of years ago. Our society seems to be heading in very unhealthy directions, on both ends of the scale. What ever happened to "medium" and "average"?!

Answer 2

For me, size 0 is too skinny. I think it is all relative to whatever size you are as to how you perceive others. I am a size14, and a size 0 is as far removed from my frame as a size 26 is - I couldn't imagine being anywhere near either of these sizes. As long as you are healthy, and have a sensible attitude to food (no extremes!) I think your size is perfect. There is too much media pressure nowadays, and there are programmes about how to lose weight on all the time, and magazines always slate the skinny celebs, yet then airbrush them all! Why can't we just have a role model who is "normal" or average sized? It would be such a relief to know that all the popular celebs are not Lollypops, especially when the average dress size in Britain is a 14-16!

Answer 3

A size 0 is a British size 4. I often find a British size 6 too big around the waist and ribcage, and would wear a size 4 if i could find it. I am 5'2" and have a healthy BMI, but i happen to be extremely small boned. My back is very narrow and my waist very small - according to the papers, the same measurement as Victoria beckham. I don't consider myself to be too skinny at all; i got to the gym twice a week, eat three big meals a day and snack on crisps, fruit etc. Sometimes i wish i could put on a bit of weight, not because i don't like how i look, but so i could find clothes to fit me. Rather than persecuting those who are small and treating them with derision, shouldn't we view every person individually? Some people who are a size 0 may have an eating disorder, others don't. Some people who are a size 16 may be overweight, others wont be.
It is as wrong to be rude and cast assumptions about small women as it is to do so about larger women - and often appears to be a mixture of ignorance, prejudice and jealousy fuelled by magazines and newspapers after a headline.

Answer 4

I watched skinny celebrities the other day and they said that Posh had a life expectancy of 54 I think it was. It said her face would age serverly soon and her hair would drop out. If people would rather be skinny and look like an old witch then they should carry on. A size 0 is rediculous. I know she's not naturally like that because people who are naturally that way can't put weight on no matter what. When she was in the Spice Girls she looked nice and healthy.

Answer 5

I think most of you are extremely insensitive. You don't know the circumstances under which people live, or why they might be a size zero.

There is no such thing as "too skinny" or "too fat"... it depends on the person and the situation!!!

I am underweight and have been my entire life. I try so hard to gain weight because I know I'm severely under for my height. People think losing weight is impossible, but you have no idea how hard it is to gain weight with people who have metabolisms that are out of control.

I wear a size zero, and at times I feel like I'm too thin and I need to gain weight. But you know what? I am not unhealthy! I eat right, and I do everything to live a healthy lifestyle. People come up to me and ask me if I'm anorexic, and that offends me so much. There isn't anything wrong with me, I am healthier than most people are, I just have some trouble gaining weight.

So no, I don't think a size zero is "too skinny"!

Answer 6

I think this current obsession with weight is most unhealthy.
Perversely this culture of skinniness among so-called celebs is nothing more that body fascism and can lead to obesity/anorexia amongst ordinary teenagers.
In that when they are unable to maintain an extremely thin profile they may resort to either starvation diets or, go the other way, and eat too many over processed foods for comfort!

Answer 7

I will come straight to the point, SIZE ZERO IS NOT ATTRACTIVE.

Tight skin with strech marks and boney shoulders and hips. They would break in two if you hugged them wrong.

EAT SOME FOOD.

A UK 10-12 is perfect, womanly curves it looks so much more healthy. I want to be able to cuddle next to a woman who has soft flesh and a healthy complexion, not some tight bag of bones!

How scary are size zero women going to be when they are old? Think of comic book witch/hag and you will not be a million miles away.

Size zero is just not a natural size for a woman and men don't find it attractive. Girls don't do it...

Answer 8

eerrmmmm yee! Size 0 is virtually NOTHING! Someone who is a size zero, must be extremly ill, and being that skinny is not at all attractive. If an eating disorder or anorexia is a cause of this i suggest seeking medical advice to get back in track. This could be seriously dangerous!!

Answer 9

size looks different according to height. I'm 5ft nowt & take a 0 in gap but I aint skinny. BUT if I was 5 ft 6 say then I'd look anorexic. Posh is just a silly cow who needs a decent meal!!!!!! Who cares if she falls down a drain?

Answer 10

While for most of us a size 0 is ridiculous some people are naturally that slim and are healthy with it... Its the celebs that p*ss me off there is no way that a size 0 is healthy if u have to starve yourself to do it .... its one extreme to the other from obesity to anorexia ... people we are average and need a happy medium.... Some one please give them some pie !!
