    OP - I think you must be measuring wrong. You wouldn't fit into AUS size 8 clothes if your waist were 33 inches. I wear a size 12 and my waist is about 31 inches atm.

    Measure around your narrowest part - that is your natural waist. I use waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratios to determine my health. I'm more of an apple/pear shape, so although my BMI is on the high side of healthy, my waist ratios are fine. Apple shapes tend to be at a higher risk. I recommend looking into the Flat Belly Diet - I have one of the cookbooks and I learned a lot about the dangers of abdominal fat and how to make dietary changes to get a flatter belly.
