I’m stoked about this news; if you’ve always wanted to be a size eight, don’t waste your time with diets or exercise. Leave that for the insecure little wenches. Let them drink their juices, and wake up at 5am so they can squeeze in a daily work-out in preparation for the summer wedding. You just stay gorgeous and chubby! Eventually, size eight will come to YOU.
According to a new study carried out in England, the definition of women’s sizes keeps changing.
It found a woman who was a US size 12 in 1975 is a size 8 now. And, that shift has happened across all sizes, so a size 18 in 1975 is a size 14 now, and so on, and so forth.
There’s some level of ‘vanity sizing’ involved; people want to believe they’re smaller sizes, and that makes them more likely to buy the clothes.
But, human beings ARE also getting LARGER. So the sizes are adjusting what it means to be small, medium, and large. The average hip size has gone up three inches, in the past 40 years.
Vindication for us unashamed chubby-chasers.
If we want to lick a tooth-pick, we’ll head to the steakhouse.
Nothing stays the same. I just saw an ad for a dairy that bragged that their ice cream was still a full 1/2 gallon!
Fat power!!!
And you felt the need to ruin every woman’s day, why? Actually, I have wondered about this. When I was a teenager there were no size 0’s. A size 5 was considered tiny. Now, there are not only 0’s but double 00s. What the hell is a double 00? Does that mean you don’t really exist?
