Average size and height?

I was just wondering what everyone is, like.
Reason being, lately, when I've been out, I've just been noticing how everyone is smaller than me both in height and size.
I mean, I don't regard myself as fat or anything but like, I just seem to be bigger than everyone else. I can't help but compare myself to them. I might just be whingy and whiney I know. Even if I did lose weight, I know for a fact I'd never be able to be a size 8 because of way my hips are Its the way I'm built.
I'm a size 12 and 5'8".

So you'd rather be smaller than a 6/8?!
That's fucking tiny!
how can it be depressing when you're already a 6 or an 8!!
I'm 5 foot 4 and size 12...i dont feel fat when im out really, just normal, one of my best mates is well skinny though, like a size 6, and it does depress me when we're out shopping sometimes cos everything seems to look good on her, but like she says, i can wear things she cant like strappy tops and stuff cos i have the boobs to fill it whereas she doesnt.
haha thats a total ramble. but yeah. i often feel quite small in height when im out, especially around lads.
Anything smaller than that would start to look grotesque.
As for my body I am 16-18 but mainly an 18 now because I always put on weight while I'm away at uni. I eat more and I don't have canoeing 3 times a week like I do when I'm at home. I'm mostly happy with myself, mostly. I do have times where I get down because of what my body looks like though, everybody does. I reckon I'm more comfortable with myself than a lot of people though.
I've thought about doing "proper serious dieting" or something but I worry that if I lost a lot of weight I wouldn't feel like me anymore. I'm supposed to look like this!
ETA I really don't eat badly, before anyone starts thinking FATTY or WHO ATE ALL THE PIES, I reckon I just eat too much in general, plus I was fat at secondary school and it kind of never shifted. All the women on my dad's side of the family are biiiig ladies though, and my sister is built like me so I'm not too worried.
I'm 5'9 / 176 cm tall and a little chubby. I love myself though and have begun going to the gym regularly and am feeling loads better although I'm not sure I've lost weight yet, hehe. I'm about size 16 though to be honest, which sounds so uncool.
However i'm exactly fat either
When I was out last night I noticed LOADS of tall people. I think there must've been a tall people's convention in the restaurant we were at, quite a lot of them had to be going on 7ft. Was a pretty unusual sight, 'round here especially where I think the average height might be shorter than... average
It seems like you're trying to justify yourself, which you don't need to do. You're "short" and a 16/18... so what? You're fit and healthy (canoeing must be bloody hard work!) and that's all that matters!
As for me, I'm 5'3" AND A HALF (it's important to me too ) and flutter between a 14 and 16. I'm a 14 at the moment because I'm stressing about moving house!
Yeah I get the patronising too... People don't realise how offensive it is sometimes. :yeees:
I'm 5'3" and size 8 (usually); sometimes 10. I'm just under 7 stone.
Weirdly my hips are wider than my sisters though, and she's a size 10 and 5'8"ish. I'm a bit pear-shaped.
I think gernerally clothes look better on size 10/12. I often look hidious in stuff I try cos I'm too thin... The clothes just hang off me; it's not good... So you lucky girlies who aren't size 8; stop telling yourself you don't look as good as your smaller friends... it's complet bollocks!
you're 5ft 6 and want to be 6stone?? That's stupidly thin. I must be a heffer at 5ft 4 and 9 stone then!
15/14 is when your organs start to fail isn't it?
Im a size 18 too..and ive been that size for a fair number of years..i just presume its my 'natural' weight. I used to pig out when i was younger, but i eat fairly healthily now..i just dont exercise as much i should at the mo..
and im a short arse at 5"4..
but now I’m an 8/10. Haven’t bought anything in that size to freaked to do so.
I think its due to the thing you cant see nor hear or touch…‘stress’. Really dislike that word. My eating habits have changed slightly due to work job and worrying about what might never happen.
Some girls do wanna look thin but i think that having curves is better, I would prefer to be a nice healthy size 12 if not weight 10, 10 1/2 stones cos I’m losing or my lovely curves and its driving me insane.
Get munching! hehe, im sure you'll be back to your normal when you havent got things on your mind!

Thatis true.
Most people are shorter than Me.
