The Truth About Size Zero
 

Did anyone else watch this, quite shocking that women go to these lengths to look good, or think they look good. Personally I dont think they look good. I hope some young impressionable girls watched this last night and realised the harsh reality, think Louise Rednapp did a good job.
Anyway whilst I was watching it I ate
1 bag of Walkers crisps
1 mini Twix
1 mini Milky Way
1 small bag of Malteasers
1 mini Snickers
1 mint Vicount biscuit
1 small bag Haribo Starmix:D

So I'll never be a size zero!

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

oh ****** i missed it!:(

isnt size zero a 4 in uk?
wtf wears a size 4?
in my younger days i was a size 12 and i thought that was skinny then!!
what they need is some steak puds in them, i mean how can you live on nowt all day? you have to eat and to be that size they must not be eating NOWT!!:(

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

You go for it girl....who wants hips like coat hangers? Don't all shout ME !

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

You missed a good programme Panther, it was an eye opener as to the health risks etc, yes a size zero is a uk 4 and although you get people who are naturally that slim, not many I'd say. Louise Rednapp already a slim size 8 followed a strict diet and exercise regime under medical supervision for 30 days to achieve the goal of size zero. It was interesting to watch, I'm sure it'll be repeated on ITV2

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

You should be ashamed of yourself , that would feed a family in some parts of the world for a week , not counting all the greenhouse gas you probably produced :D :D :D :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

thanks grego will have to watch out for that on itv2
What did she eat while doing this?

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Gawd lowest i can go is size 10 or stretching at 8 as thats my bone structure with no meat on it & look positively anorexic at size 10 :eek:

Thankfully im a happy medium size as i should be [recent mot check at docs said so too im bang on the right bmi with room to spare] & im staying that way suits me sir:D Women are supposed to have lumps, humps & bumps - thats what makes us interesting & sexy not looking like an ironing board!!

I think this zero is basically an easy route for manufacturers to skimp on material & why cant they see as much as everyone is individual so is dress size - god made variation of choices in people so should it be with the clothes as well!!! I'd rather be healthy than ill, there is enough starving people in the world with famine whom dont get a choice like our self obsessed developed world! Thing is best way to stop this ridiculous idea is not to lose weight or get to size zero/4 then there'll be no market - no sales - no reason to make or sell that size!!

Anyone size 8+ ......upwards be proud of being you - well done!:D:D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Is this size zero a woman invention or male ??? Be interesting on male perspectives as face it us girls do an awful lot at times to look nice for usually male attention involved somewhere along the line:D

Is the ironing board a hit or is it the lovely lady lumps & humps??

I know Jamie Rednapp [louises husband] is not best pleased about her doing this experiment, looked very worried indeed.

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

blokes perspective coming up mel, they look like stick insects wouldnt turn me on if they were paying.

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Oh dear, I think I'd better give this thread a wide berth :rolleyes:

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Good question. It is still a mainly homosexual group of male designers, and a tiny handful of women like Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue, who dictate what is, and isn't fashionable....and it still continues. Sad.

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Blimey I went into Asda tother day. saw a Lovely top and thought " hmm thats nice wonder what size it is"? it said size 4 :eek: I said to ginger " is this the kids section"? and thought the clothes looked too grown up for kids. I moved along the clothing to a top that I knew would be for women.....size 4......hmmm I was very confused. I didn't even know they had started selling that size. Maybe America but I wouldn't have thought there would be much call for it here. Too many kebab shops :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

you been to America slinks? they start at about 24.:D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

For girls that means fitting into a pair of jeans with a 22-inch waist - that of an average British eight-year-old. :eek:

Attachment 8552Attachment 8553

same girl but made her to look a size zero, the pic on the left is size 10, one on the right size 0 !
it doesnt take a genius to work out which one looks better does it!?

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Yeah but it's usually stupid ideas like this that are made up from the Americans lol.


Sorry no offence :o

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

but you have to agree , a few years back you very rarely saw all these yard wide arses which you see everywhere these days , all the crying about sizing is just an excuse for not getting enough exercise ,even if its just walking to the bus stop instead of jumping into the car parked at the front door , and too much snacking and over eating :D :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Lmao... Take a leaf out of my book then....stuff ya face permanently, eat at wrong time of day, eat late at night, eat crap....but never put a ounce on. I swear one day I will wake up 32 stone. I feel lucky cos I don't have to go on stupid diets ( not that i'd stick to em) lol but life is cruel to me so I will end up 32 stone one day lol.

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

:eek: i hate you, i only have to look at bloody food and .......:mad::p

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

...but then you moved to America, and voila!:D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Do you think you may have a worm inside you?:eek: :D :p

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Bloody hell a 26 year old worm!! :D:D I dunno, but if I get to eat what I want when I want and never worry about diets then I will even make friends with the worm ;):D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

ewwww......LOL

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

i said sea men but it just shows what was on your mind eh :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

I know exactly what you said, and i know exactly what you mean....you naughty boy!

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

It's ok, Chav keeps his model boy figure by not eating at all, but by sucking Fisherman's Friends all day long.:D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

I've been told you go to bed with worms and wake up with smelly fingers :idunno: :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

you said you didnt know any fishermen :mad:


errr opppppps :eek: :eek: :eek:

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Yeeah I heard that too...............


Oh come to think of it ... it was you that told me :D:D when you got back from doctors with that itch problem, and got the dog to teach you how to scrape your arse on the floor :eek::D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero

Re: The Truth About Size Zero

Re: The Truth About Size Zero

even vannessa feltz didnt put her weight back on this fast :D


yeah i know i spelt her name wrong but you know who i mean

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

what you mean put back on?

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

put the claws back lol :)

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Its a lousy night on TV, so I am probably going to get into bother with this ..........but why do women want to look like men ?
We have a shopping chain here in the US called the Gap , not sure how big they are in Europe but they are running a new springtime ad campain on TV here for womens khaki slacks (pants/trousers) and every models arse looks as big as a garbage can/dustbin, yet the ads for women wearing denim look fine.
I'm not a misogynist pig , but surely a woman wants to look her best at all times , if only for her own self esteem, so someone explain to me why do women allow their inate femininity to be controlled this way and end up looking like brickies on a building site,
ok I know and accept that that women are now in the mainstream workforce and lots of women are now doing jobs that were at one time deemed 'men only' so I accept that its impractical that a woman working, for example in an oil refinery or erecting scaffolding should be wearing a dress for work , but where practicalities like these dont come into it whats the problem with wearing female attire (a dress) , every time I turn the television on we have all these female role models for the modern woman, ( Cheri Blair/Laura Bush/ Hillary Clinton/Angela Merkal etc. )and they never appear to be wearing a dress but a tailored 'pant suit' and I'm sorry to say they look like a bunch of Dykes(Lesbians) .
I'm sorry ladies , I'm not out to offend anyone , but I just want the females of our species to look like females, maybe its a generation/age thing , or maybe its some Germaine Greer feminist plot to d/emasculate the male species.

:D :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Like Grego, I watched this programme whilst consuming a bag of crisps, 2oz of jelly babies and a glass of red wine...:D We all know how horrible some celebs look at size zero and to be honest at a size 12 it would probably take me years to get to that size, even if I wanted to.

The health effects for women, of any crash diet are astounding, lower oestrogen levels leading to infertility and osteoporosis, lethargy and depression, altered bowel habits, unhealthy looking skin and hair and much much more. It makes you wonder why celebs, or anyone would want to do it....

The sad thing is that if our world's celebrity women got it together and refused to conform to the size zero trend en masse..... The designers, model agencies, producers etc would have no choice but to make clothing for bigger women.

It's all well and good to blame a few gay designers and the movie and modelling industries but I think that there are more celebs, models and real women out there than there are designers.. Isn't it time that people got together and just stopped buying into this cr@p..:cool:

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Totally agree. No one forces women to conform to an idealised body type, or even follow fashion, they do it willingly, by buying the clothes, and the magazines.

Sadly, I think the same thing is happening to the younger generation of men too. This hair cut, that styling product, this many six packs, which apparently you now should have eight of visible.

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

I watched it and thought it was very well done and louise did it in a sensitive way, although I think they could have filmed a few more of her mood swings she talked about!!

Also it was interesting that they brought up the issue of yo yo dieting and that she had to be careful how she put the weight back on as she could just pile on the fat and would lose her muscle tone...it actually took her two months of careful eating to put it back on the right way!

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Same here, i put on 1kg in a year LOL as go for once a year health check i dont own any scales, funny i got 2kg worth of Belgian choccy & scoffed most of that at christmas so it wasn;t that hehehehehe, quite ironic when i was a teen i only haad to look at a choccy bar & it would balloon me. I think a lot maybe psychological then i wanted to be slim, then got to the slimness i wanted but stress in my life at the time i went slimmer not intentionally as my metabolic rate was up & struggled now i've spent a few years trying to put it back on & not easiliy either for trying LOL!!!

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

LOL! I've told slinky just wait til she turns 30, then she'll know about it ;) At 25 I felt jeans getting tight round the thigh and had to shoe horn my hips into my jeans. I'm just hoping that the extra tyres round my middle don't increase with every year older as they have been doing since turning 30 :o

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Hehehehehehe :rofl38: definined by rings like tree trunks hehehehe:D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

dont they call that a muffin top?....lol

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Hope I don't live to a ripe old age then, I'll look like bloody michelin man!!! :eek: :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

tinks i remember you being a size zero at one time (6)

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Aye I was. Now I'm 8/10 (8 often a little to tight and 10 a bit on the large side) ..... see I told you I'd put loads of weight on :rolleyes: My butts always stayed the same though ... MASSIVE!!! :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

lol shut up you stupid cow hahahahahahaha i still say those jeans you had on the other day where to big for ya :D how can you moan at being a size 8/10 after having 4 kiddiwinks? i think thats amazing, you should be proud :D

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

They were Dotty P's size 8 petite range lol!!! I think they got the sizing wrong somewhere along the lines, though they are my most comfortable ones ;)

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

they will be comfortable ya daft moo, they where massive

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

dunno if its been mentioned but it was in the independant that girls who saw this were using it as a slimming tips programme - the pro-anorexia sites who saw this took tips on how louise lost her weight and passed them on to other girls

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Watched the program myself was very disturbed to see the 12yr old suffering from an eating disorder But thought Louise did a great job with the show

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

does anyone know when this will be on again?

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

dunno about repeats but might be on torrnents

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

Re: The Truth About Size Zero
 

do you not think that people who can eat what they want and dont put on weight are at more risk than those who do put on weight, because you stuff your face, dont put the weight on, but you could still be getting high colesterel and not know!
