Do you think a US size 12, UK Size 14 is FAT? Photos?!


Question: I'd be very grateful if you answered this question. It's not one of those 'am I fat and ugly?' questions!

Someone on here said something very disturbing, that a size US 12-14.

I think it's very dangerous to consider a UK or US size 12 ' Fat '

So for purposes of this experiment please view the photos of typical size 12 -14 women's bodies and if you consider them fat (someone too overweight for their hieght)

Please state if the following bodies are FAT or NOT?


1) uk size 14

I don't think any of these ladies are fat. I am a size 12 and my BMI is within the healthy weight range.

There is way too much pressure on young girls to be super skinny these days!

the first one is a little overeweight. But, still has a curvacious figure.

I'm a UK size 14 which is US size 10. I'm fat in some places, but I consider myself properly curvy.

MM is mighty fine :). The other two are on the fleshy side, but I wouldn't call them fat

Nah if someone is that size thats good. Being too skinny can be just as dangerous and weighing a bit. But size doesnt mean anything (clothing wise). I wear a size 8 in ladies and im 14. That doesnt mean im fat. It just means i need to wear bigger pants for a different reason (in my case. an overly large hind end). Everyone is different. Good Luck! :)

NOT FAT.

They are lean yet curvy.....women are supposed to be curvy...that's what's sexy about a womans body!!

none of those women even look remotely fat.

No, none of these people look "fat". However, it's hard to make the determination just by size alone (especially by using Marilyn Monroe, as her weight fluctuated wildly during her career and was likely never reported accurately, anyways.)

Everyone is built and shaped differently. No two size 10 or 12s will look alike. I am muscular and am shaped very much like a short Marilyn Monroe with an hourglass figure, large bust, small waist, etc. I am generally a size 10. My friend is a size 10 too, but she has a very round "apple shape" and so she appears to be quite a bit larger than I am. She also has a smaller bone structure, yet carries more weight than I do on my medium frame. So, it's a hard thing to gauge. BMI is the only good indicator, in my opinion.

NO they are not fat the first one is over weight a bit but they aren't fat.!

Hope I Helped:)

Not overweight at all! you should be proud if that is your size! i think its an amazing figure and if you embrace it, everyone else who isnt obsessed with anorexic bodies will love it too!

I have no idea. I'm 46 size European.

Absolutely not. They are the way they are, and that is a good thing. In my book, they look average like they should. Everyone is built differently, so you can't judge soley by what size a person wears, and those women look perfectly fine to me. So long as they exercise a little and eat some healthy foods, they're good to go. One shouldn't have to have no fat at all to be considered not fat

Those ladies are not fat. Just another example of Hollywood trying to make everyone into an anorexic.

these girls are not fat, but they also dont look like size 12+

i do not think size 12 is fat at all but a lot depends on how tall you are..the taller the person the more they can weigh...

None of the women i saw is fat or even a hint of being overweight..The media has tried to pound it into our heads that skin stretched over bones is the "in" look .When it really is the look of death.

I'm not sure that it matters. I cannot imagine seeing someone I found attractive perhaps at a shopping mall, walking over to speak to her and noticing that she was looking through size 12s, and having that change my perception of her... It's not as if they have the Thin, Normal and Fat sections and as soon as you start wearing 12's you're overweight and shopping in the Fat section...

I judge whether someone is overweight with my eyes, not by what size clothes they wear. I'd say the first in those three pics seems somewhat overweight, but not obese or anything. The other two are rather attractive and definately not overweight...
