You are smaller than you think you are

I love this! Bumping to share with some of my friends=)0

I'm larger than I thought.
But I am the "perfect hourglass'
Just a bigger hourglass than I want.0 -
I was exactly spot on. So I apparently know my size :ohwell:0
-
It says I'm 10% larger than I think I am, but this doesn't surprise me. I've always said that I didn't see myself as large as I am. I have at times had a hard time finding myself in group pictures - until I realize: "Oh, I'm that really fat girl." Or I think I'm "not much bigger" than a friend until I see the two of us together in a picture. Or I see a pair of pants in the store and think: "Oh that's way to big to be my size", but then it is my size.
I don't know what causes this, or how to fix it. And I suspect even just "knowing" doesn't, because I've known this for a while, and my judgment isn't any more accurate.
But it worries me, because I'm scared that as I get closer to my goal, I'll start "seeing" myself as too skinny and stop before I should... before I get to what is actually a healthy weight.0 -
I can not find this on the link...does it work in the US or only in the UK?0
-
7.5'% smaller than I think....however they didn't even have my hip measurement on the scale! It starts at 33 inches and my hips are 31 inches so the stats are a bit off for me. Great find though OP!0
-
I am 12.5 % smaller than I think I am. I understand the power of my brain, because I still don't believe that the model they chose from my measurements, looks anything like my size.
Eye opening.
ETA: I am in the US and it worked for me.0 -
12.5% smaller than I thought! Interesting0
-
interesting! I was 15% smaller than what I thought...0

I had a hard time picking the right model. Ended up guessing right but I could have easily chosen larger or smaller.
I look wider from the front and skinnier from the side, a side view in addition to the front view would have been more accurate.0 -
Wow, this actually just came up earlier this week. Someone guessed my weight (not exactly a polite thing to do, but whatever) and said "I bet you weigh 110 lbs" and I was shocked. I weigh 132 and always feel like I look like I weigh 150 lol.
I chose the 3rd body and was the first body.0 -
"you are 7.5% smaller than you think you are..."
O.o interesting!! This is madness... I guessed I was pretty much the third in the legs, but second for the waist... So somewhere inbetween... Turns out I was the 1st!!
The only thing is that it does not take height into account which can throw results way off...
YOU ARE THE PERFECT HOURGLASS
Hourglass: A smaller mid-section with a fuller bust and wider hips. The famous hourglass figure is all about curves, so go for outfits that really show off your shape. Scooped necklines and V-necks will frame your shoulders and bust beautifully, while a belt at the waist creates a great central focal point between your shoulders and hips. Think 1950s glamour, A-line skirts and fitted tops to create a stunning outfit for any occasion. If you're looking for something more casual, a pair of straight-legged jeans is a great option to maintain the definition around your hips and legs.
SHOW OFF YOUR FAVOURITE BODY PART
Bum: Nothing shows off a good bum like a pair of great-fitting jeans. Have a pair of slim leg jeans on hand for when you need a quick outfit to really highlight your favourite feature. A figure-hugging evening dress will have the same effect, especially if you dare to go backless! Team with a great pair of heels, which will elongate your legs and accentuate your behind.
Hehe0 -
I was 15% smaller than I think I am.
Interesting, thanks for the link.0 -
I guess my view of myself is fairly accurate. I am 2.5% smaller than I think I am. It was a nice little ego boost!0
-
I got past the 1st model, so like off the chart :S
I'm 7.5% smaller than I think I am and a pear shape apparently.0 -
I'm only 2.5% bigger than I see myself.0
-
I'm 20% smaller than I think. I picked #7 and based on measurements, I'm #3.
I still don't see it lol but it's eye opening!0 -
27.5% smaller :ohwell:0
-
I'm 15% smaller than I think I am. I picked body 4 and I'm actually right between 1 and 2.0
-
I was nearly 4 body sizes off at 17.5% smaller than I think I am. Hmmmm...0
-
That was kind of cool. I selected the 5th and came in the 3rd, I'm 10% smaller than I think I am!0
-
17.5%... Im kind of spun out by this, to the point where I think the site has got it wrong! :laugh:0
-
Wow! 22.5% smaller than I think I am. Described as the "perfect pear". Although, I HATE being pear shaped, it did offer me a different perspective on being pear shaped.0
-
That was really neat. I guessed between the third and fourth model and I am right on the second model. I like that it gives an insight into your body shape as well. I kind of figured I was an hourglass, but it was nice to read the confirmation. Definitely a cool site.0
-
That was kind of fun! I'm 7.5% smaller than I think I am. I'm not entirely convinced of that, because it put me only slightly bigger than the smallest girl in the list. So, are tiny girls not even on the chart? I'm not that small!
It also said I'm the perfect hourglass shape. Nope, not true. My waist is smaller than my hips, but there's not enough inches to make me an hourglass shape.
Still, it was a nice ego boost. Thanks for the link!0 -
wow! 20% Smaller than I thought!! Holy COW! Thanks for sharing this! Gives me some perspective!!0
-
It doesn't ask you how tall you are... which would make a difference if you ended up being larger than you think it might be because you're really tall and their model isn't!
I'm quite short so come out as smaller than their first model. Which is also what I thought. Though in real life I feel as though I take up more space than I actually do.0 -
i was 27.5% off.
i guess i need to be a little more positive about my body.0 -
Thanks for sharing, my husband is always telling me I'm a lot smaller than I think I am and I really didn't think so, but I picked that I was the 9th one and it says I'm really in between the 5th and 6th ones0
-
Wow, I picked no. 8 and got no.4. I'm closer to no. 1 than I think. Awesome
Thanks for the link - I think this counts as an NSV haha x0
