It's common for women to see themselves as bigger than they are but this website i just found is really interesting and i wanted to share it!

You pick a model you think you look closest too and then write down a few measurements and it tells you which you are really closest to. Mine was two models difference! and i am approx 12% smaller than i think i am.
Obviously take it with a pinch of salt but give it a try, you may learn more about yourself and have a little self confidence booster.

    I was in the middle of two bodies LOL?

    I guessed the fifth body but was in the middle of the third & fourth for the actual body.

    Wow! I guessed the 4th body, but I was actually the second one. Eye opener for sure.

    Apparently I'm 17.5% smaller that I think I am... Interesting. I guessed the fourth body but I'm actually a tiny bit before the first one? Crazy.

    I apparently am larger than I think. Oops. This may explain why I got so overweight.

    This was me also. I totally thougth I was being generous to myself with picking the fourth body, I was going to go for the fifth.
    I guess that was a reality check. Huh.

    5% larger than I think I am.

    I think that I look better than all models presented, though. There wasn't really a choice that looked like me.

    I didn't realize that you could pick in between so I was 2.5% smaller than I thought I was but if I had realized you could pick in between I would probably have been bang on. I don't really like my body but I clearly don't see myself as bigger than I am :smile:

    Interesting! Thank you for sharing. I originally chose the 6th size and somehow ended up the first....a huge difference of 25%.

    I guess I'm more realistic. I'm only 2.5% smaller than I think I am. Which is actually a bummer. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

    results:
    you are 25% smaller than you think you are...Your measurements indicate that you're actually smaller than the size you guessed on the sliding scale! We've also calculated your body shape, as it might be different to that of the model. Take a look below to find out more.

    you are the perfect pear

    Pear: Your major curves are at your hips, while your waist and shoulders are a lot smaller. With the widest point around your hips, you've got plenty of room to dress your upper body without throwing your figure off-balance. Go for strapless dresses and tops with bold accessories, and a bright cropped jacket with shoulder pads when you want to add definition. Pleated skirts that start at the waist will fall easily over your hips, accentuating your curves, while a good pair of boot-cut jeans will add plenty of length to your legs for a casual look.

    SHOW OFF YOUR FAVOURITE BODY PART

    Neck: The best way to accentuate your neck is to make sure you don't completely cover it in jewellery - just enough to let it shine. Choose between statement earrings or a bold necklace to highlight your neck and shoulders.
