[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'2. I weigh 165 pounds. My BMI puts me at obese. (Yes, I understand the difference between BMI as a measure of population and the bastardized version of applying it to individuals.) I have a 32 inch waist and 45 inch hips (WHR of .71). According to size charts, I'm solidly in the 16-18 / XL / plus size category. BUT. I'm like an extreme triangle, in that my lower body weight is all booty and thighs (vice wide hips and belly) and my body narrows significantly from the waist upwards. My bra size is 32B. I buy tops in size small.

When I look in the mirror in the morning, I don't feel fat. But when I catch a glimpse of my reflection while out and about, all I can see is how enormous I look and how my clothes really don't flatter me.

Which is more accurate? The "Damn, you're cute" image as I leave home in the morning, or the "OMG you cow, just put down the fork!" image throughout the day?

It's very possible that both are true!  You sound like at certain angles and poses, you are probably very cute, but at other angles you may look bigger than you actually are.  [/quote]

+1 The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Occasionally I've noticed when standing with a friend in front of a restroom mirror that she appears larger in the reflection than she does in reality. Conversely, I do think my home mirror is overly flattering.[/quote]
