Ps. I wear a size 1 but I don't see a huge person in the mirror... I like the way I look for the most part but it just hurt to see that every answer said that size 1 was sooo small and the girl was probably annoerxic!!

The link isn't to a question I asked!!

Answer 1

It is a very small size, and people are so mean about body size in general. Personally I am a size 16 and that probably seems like a whale to many people. But as long as you are absolutely comfortable in your body you should forget what other people say about you. I am a beautiful girl with a beautiful curvy body, and I'm perfectly healthy. I'm not a pig and I don't judge others, so that's all I need to be happy. If you are happy with your size, stay happy! I'm sure most people just wish they could be your size! :O)

Answer 2

i do think you are tiny. I am a size 12 - 14 which is considered the "amerian average" for women. you are 6 sizes smaller than me in the women's department. your waist is probably a full ten inches (the size of one of my thighs) smaller than me. You are tiny. I would not call you anorexoric in the first place.

The reason people would say you are anorexic is because in your original quesiton that you posted you say that you are a size one but see a huge girl in the mirror. this is something that often happens with people who have eating disorders. Their body image and what they actually look like are very different.

my sister in law is a size 0 or 00 on a good day, and is very attractive and slim. but I wouldn't call her anorexic.

Answer 3

some people have naturally fast metabolism which keep them from being anything but such small size... for most people though size 1 is small.

as to why people answered "you're anorexic," in her answer, she claimed she saw herself as "big" when facing a mirror. thus people automatically assumed she had that disorder. she could have meant normal, whatever, but when u say "big," and size 1, people tend to think you have an eating disorder.

i'm jealous.. i've never fit into size 1 in my life. ^^

Answer 4

I wear a 3, and a lot of people consider me to be anorexic, and I eat. I see food, I eat it. Some of us are just lucky. Oh and by the way, I'm 41 years old and have never weighed more than 105 pounds. It's just the way I am. So enjoy it girls. Nothing is wrong with you.

Answer 5

Well a size one is very small but it doesnt automatically mean you are anorexic. Just last year I wore a size 1 and Im not anorexic

Answer 6

I'm size 0-1, and i love being this size. Don't let people tell you what you should and shouldn't be. Just because your small doesn't mean you don't eat right. Enjoy being tiny! It means you look really good in clothes lol. :)

Answer 7

Lucky girls who posted above me! I'm a size 6 (5'5 tall) and I'm struggling to stay at that, because the moment i let go a bit i gain weight like crazy.

So don't listen to what people say, they are probably just jealous of your figure :P

Answer 8

I don't think its small. Thats really sterotypical.
I'm a size 0 and i'm effing fat.

5'6 and 115 pounds.

Its just cause I'm only 13, in like 2 years I'll probably be like a size 32895083.

Answer 9

im a size 0-1 naturally..ppl shouldnt assume if your skinny, your anorexic because some of us just have a fast metabolism. as long as your healthy and dont wanna lose weight, your fine.

Answer 10

i don't think size 1 is that small...
i'm a size 00 and the comments that i get... very stereotypical.
