Can You See Yourself As You Are?

Here's another one:

Still thinking 2? Working toward 5.


I've lost about 4-5 lbs. since this pic was taken.

I think you more resemble 3

I'd say I'm a thinner version of #16. My fat centers around my abdomen so I don't have much of a waist but my arms and legs are thin. I am afraid of ending up looking like a potato person. As far as what I'd like to look like, I'd be happy with 11. Anything with a waist, really. I mean, 5 would be great but I'm not sure that I have the focus for it.

Hahaha! Love Mr. Potato Head! You are much thinner than 16, and you also have a waist. IMO you look most like 11.

I think 14 and 5 look pretty similar to each other - if 14 was in a bikini and heels she's not particularly 'average'.

Oh, of course, I missed going first.





I think I look most like 14 or 15.

I'd like to be 5 or 8.

You're hard to pick. 14 but with bigger hips and muscles.

i'll play.





i look most like 11/15. i'm striving to look (and feel) more like 5/7.

I would definitely say you are more 11 than 15.

I think I'm probably 15 16 or 12 (this is actually quite hard!) Am I right ?






I'd love to be 5 or 11 !!

I'd say I was an 18. It'd be nice if I was a 5. But I think instead I'll just not worry about what number I am, so long as I can do all the things I want to do.

I think I'm 14. Would like to be 5.
Ok... maybe 8. :-)

I think I'm 5 or 14, but would like to be 7.

I think you're already a 7

um, sandy? you definitely don't see yourself as we see you! you are already fit/ripped/athletic/muscular! you can keep striving but you are no way "average."

also, @haley: yeah, totally laughing at the pudgy description. if that's pudgy, then i'm ..............

I have a hard time accepting 7 because of crazy cellulite and such little definition in my legs. I know I have abs, but from my hips down, it feels like a mess. And with me being on the injured list, I *feel* like I'm falling apart.

I certainly don't feel like I look.

So thank you!

Just fyi, "cellulite" didn't exist until late in the 1960's when it was invented by Cosmo magazine to give women yet another reason to be insecure about themselves and buy more beauty products as advertised in Cosmo. They literally created a problem only they could solve for the purpose of building a cash machine.

Before that, trace dimples on the surface of your legs wasn't a "thing". It was so absent for people's minds to notice that there wasn't even a word for it.

Don't let yourself buy into the head trip the Mad Men created for you.

"Thigh gap" is the latest iteration in this kind of artificially-generated "problem" with women's bodies.

Add: I'm struck how most people posting on this thread already have a nice body shape, even if it is slightly larger or less muscle-defined than they would like.

I think I'm 14. Would like to be 5.
Ok... maybe 8. :-)

I'd say you're already a 5.

You are not big enough to be an 8.
