Hello
My girlfriend is a size 12 and she really wants to be a size 10..all she thinks about is that girls should be under size 10 and girls over are fat..
i keep telling her she looks fine how she is..ans she dont need to fit in size 10.
shes 5'4ft tall and a size 12..would you consider her to be fat..
please let me know so i can tell her what others think and not just me... thank you all

She is NOT FAT!!!! She just isn't skinny and what is wrong with that.

a size 12 is not fat at all! i'm shocked how many people think it is! its only a few inches from a size 10! whats big about that. its a great size for her and other people..some sizes are just much to thin! if she wants to keep fit and heathy thats fine but make sure she does it for the right reasons not just to lose weight! my friend is a size 12 and she is about 5"5 and she looks great! tell her not to worry i'm sure she looks amazing! i dont think some people realise just how thin a 12 is..a 14 + is slightly entering the larger side but a 12 is just right

a size 12 is a healthy size for someone her height - shes been brainwashed by the media to think that theres a perfect size. There is NO PERFECT SIZE!!!!
if she cant feel comfortable in herself she cant feel comfortable round anyone else. If she's hell bent on it though, let her do it, but look out for signs of an eating disorder. if she still feels that shes fat when shes a size 10, there may be underlying psychological reasons: was she bullied at school because of her weight? This would have an effect on her.

In the uk the national average size for a woman is size 14 so she is still smaller than the average female!
And to all the people who are saying she is big, I hope you are American!! (US 12=UK16) otherwise you have some serious body image issues if you think a UK12 is big.
I am 5ft 3 and a size UK 12, and most of my friends are at least one or 2 dress sizes bigger than me.Tell your girlfriend there is nothing wrong with her :)

I'd say a size 12 for a girl of her height is pretty much perfect (for me...).
If she were any smaller she'd hardly have any shape to her and risk looking a bit boyish. No-one wants that. Well, maybe SOME people want that, but not most of us... ;-)
I know a lot of girlsworry about their body shape, but I've found that a lot the women I know who DON'T worry so much are those who are happier in their lives and keep busy. Maybe her body shape and size aren't the real issue.

She's probably just fine...women come in all different shapes and sizes and just cuz your a size 12 means nothing....really its no big deal, different people are just different sizes. Just keep encouraging her and let her know that shes the most beautiful the way she is and that its more fun to be with her when shes not thinking about her weight all the time.
Good Luck!!!

I'm size 6 and nobody ever gives me the time of day (men- wise) I'm 5ft 1, 30, single and teeny (naturally) and I guess that's not what men want. Although size 6, I really don't look like a supermodel anyway. Tell her to get a grip and stop obsessing over something that really (clearly) doesn't matter. She only has one life!

She maybe considers herself fat if she needs to tone up a bit. Size 12 is perfectly acceptable for her height.....in fact it is perfectly acceptable in anyone over the age of 16. If she isnt very fit though it will seem soft and fat to her. Maybe suggest that she tries some exercises to target the areas she is unhappy with? You might wanna remind her as well that men like their women to look and feel like women...not stick insects.

I think she needs help, sounds like she has some body image issues that are almost verging on obsessional. It wouldn't be a bad idea for her to get counselling.
A UK size 12 is NOT fat. I'm 5ft2 and size 10-12 and I do find her comments ridiculous. This screams of potential eating disorder, encourage her to get help before things really get out of hand.
HTH : )

im 5,4 and a size 12, and i think that this happens to every girl, its just the way society has conditioned us, i get so insecure all the time even tho my bf says he likes me the way i am i dont like me at all!
i see skinny girls and get jealous and all worry like! i guess thats just life, but i do personally think that curvy girls look better, and their cuddly skinny girls are just bony!
some of u are weird how the f**k is a size 12 kinda fat? its called curvy "argh"
and to answer ur question NO!!! she is not fat!
