I just remember seeing Nadine in an article at the height of GA and she was leaving a house and she was slaughtered for having "twig like legs" yet the week before she got voted as having the nicest legs in showbiz!! But i remember seeing that picture and desperately wishing my legs looked like hers.Nadine, luckily, looks much healthier now. I am so glad that the size 00 body trend has largely ended, I honestly don't think that being ultra skinny is seen as nearly as desirable as it was in the early/mid aughts. You do get the odd ultra skinny celebrity, but it isn't nearly as common. A good job too, as it is awful for the body, every bit as damaging as obesity (if not even more so)
Maybe its my body type-im 5ft3 and weigh about 9stone 4ib now, but i wish i was 20 again and looked like this as i have quite a natural hour glass shape with a slightly bigger bum and hips than my waist. I like to think if i was young again then i would be much more confident. Now im just a 35 year old trying to keep up with the youth!lol. My awesome niece did tell me the other day i have a nice bum and a figure like SSSniper wolf (some youtuber) which was a back handed compliment i think!!!
Have you heard of the saying "i wish i was as fat now as i was when i first thought it" that is so me. I look back at pics of myself when i thought i was fat at 8st7ib and i looked lovely and not "fat" at all, but i absolutely hated myself and thought i was so fat and disgusting because i wasnt a size 0. I remember hating myself because i didnt have a thigh gap. I wish i could go back in time and tell myself some things..Although it doesnt help that my parents contributed to my fucked up body image; my mum still weighs about 6stone9ib and goes on about being 'fat', and my parents always said to me that size 8 was average and size 10 was 'big' (hence my deep rooted issues and hatred when i put on a bit of weight and became a size 10- i struggled so much with being a 10)- sad as duck i know. Luckily i feel much more confident now and i have clothes ranging from 8 to 12 and i dont lose sleep over it anymore, but i did.It controlled my life.
I am so glad you said about it being unhealthy, i just look at my mum and she looks terrible and is suffering with her bones now!
Ironically, the most compliments i ever receive has always been when im a healthy weight, not super skinny.
