    When you don't have globs of excess fat punching their way out of your skin?

    I still don't consider myself skinny. I fit in the smallest women's size available, (6) and feel foolish in teenage sizes. Hubby tells me I look great, but I worry. Then he reminds me of my age. (You aren't teen age anymore) I think I need to diet away my age. Are we ever perfect? Even the perfect people aren't perfect without airbrushing.

    Where is sz 6 the smallest available?

    A lot of UK shops don't have smaller than a 6 (US size 2).

    I'll consider myself slim when I feel confident wearing a bikini!

    Oh I don't know why I still get confused. I thought a 6 there would be a 4 here. 6 here is not that small.

    Lol that's ok. Pre-pregnancy I was a US6/8 but a 10/12 over here.It's nice to be in single digits. I had some trousers I bought in the US in Abercrombie & Fitch in an 8 and they were huge on me.
