That I'm older than I am. That I'm angry/quick tempered etc (red hair!)

Height: 5'11 Weight: 149lbs Pant Size : UK 12 (US 8?) Shirt Size (and dresses): UK 10: (US 6?) Frame: EDIT: totally didn't read the full post, just did the finger/wrist test and apparently I have a small frame

Wow, that article is old. I remember watching that TV series- and I also remember the aftermath. There was so much criticism for making her the winner because they said no one would want a model that weight- which sadly seems to be true as she has disappeared since them.

Hey! I'm 5'11 and 149lbs, fed up of people telling me "it doesn't matter if you wear bigger clothes cos you're tall" err according to that logic supermodels wouldn't exist!

I'm a full time student but I also have a part time job as a Musical Theatre teacher. After school and on weekends, I teach children aged 4-12 singing, dancing and acting skills with a focus on confidence building and I absolutely love it! It's so rewarding to see the children improve and they are all absolutely lovely-…

At 14 your body is still developing. When I was 14 my body shape was so different to what it is now- in the space I developed hips, boobs and I shot up. Don't get too caught up in dieting right now when body changes are inevitable anyway, just wait til youre older and enjoy being young!

I feel this so much! I think part of it is due to the fact that I don't *need* to lose weight, so whenever I'm craving food I remind myself that I'm not actually overweight and then I go ahead and eat everything... My love of food is greater than my desire to lose weight!

Now I feel like I have big carves, 15.5 at 149lbs and they're all fat :(

The person I'm most told I look like is Karen Gillan.. which (unfortunately) I do not see.

I wouldn't say it's to do with weight- it's all about confidence. I'm in the 'ideal' category and I'm as single as it is physically possible to be. Having good self esteem, and finding the right person, is much more important.

I thought it was a little high but I guess the baking needs to be intense and quick to get the right consistency... It worked anyhow :)

I've always found Gap came up very big.. Last year I got a summer dress from there in a size 6.. it wasn't even tight (and no the dress wasn't meant to be loose). It may have just been that particular garment but considering I went into the changing rooms with a 12 it's quite a difference..

I love having one plain rice cake with sweet chilli sauce- v. Yummy and under 60 cals!

A special k bar- apricot and peach. Sounds boring but they are so yummy- I prefer them to chocolate!

I'm currently reading 'so many ways to begin' by Jon mcgregor... It's fantastic.

I used to THINK I was hungry alll the time... but after learning to count every chew of my food, eat slower, drink more water and most importantly LEARNING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING HUNGRY AND NOT BEING FULL (i could NOT do this before!!)... i'm finally learning to eat less :)

ginger is meant to be good for nausea... I find anything too sweet makes it worse so maybe some plain toast?

1. Must be Jake Gyllenhaal. Other than that, I'm pretty flexible...

5'11 and 158lb, Jeans size hovers between a UK 12/14 because I have HUGE hips

Once again, thank you for all the words of support. When I say 'diet', I mean cutting out of the rubbish food I used to eat which I am dependent on- so it is a lifestyle change for me and not a true 'diet' in that sense of the word. And for those of you concerned about self esteem issues, thank you for your concern but I'm…

Thank you so much everyone. I *don't* want to give up but the comments were especially hurtful to me as they were from my own mother. I'm going to stick this out and prove her wrong.
