my daughter is also a size 8 but I certainly dont have problems buying clothes for her. I find that more and more the shops are full of size 6 & 8's which for those of us wearing a bigger size is infuriating.

I have been over the years at every end of the scale, size 8 then very very large, then back to what I think of as "just nice" but that is personal opinion really. I wanted to lose more weight but my hubby was horrified at the thought of it, he likes the fact that I have curves where I should have, he thinks it is womanly!!! that said he is all for me making my own choices.

I agree with Linda that skinny people have it as bad as fat people, when my daughter grows slightly she looks like she is slimmer when in fact she has just stretched a bit yet she is always being told she is thin which does nothing for her confidence. That said she might be a size 8 but she is a healthy 8 she exercises well, she eats well and she has curves where they should be just petite ones!
