Only if you are 4 feet tall. A size twelve is quite normal on an average height person.
-
Maybe if you are under 5 feet tall, but otherwise, no. I saw on television that that is the average size now for women in the U.S. It really depends on the person, their bone structure and muscle mass.
-
No a size 12 is not fat, in MY opinion. I say if you are in the teens, everything is A-OK. Just as long as you're healthy, no worries.
-
No, I know a size twelve person but she's 6 feet tall and perfectly proportioned. the only way to determine what's fat and what isn't is via BMI (body mass index). Normal weight is usually classed as a BMI of 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9 is classed as 'overweight' and a BMI of 30 or more is counted as being obese. You can calculate your BMI here http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Not necessarily, weight is a relative thing and sizes vary with different styles and brands. It also depends on your height and muscle structure/tone. My size ranges between 8 and 12 and I am by no means fat..or even slightly heavy.
-
No not at all. It just all depends on how tall you are!
-
I am fat, size 12 is not fat. Under size twelve is way way skinny and over size 20 is fat.(if you are between 5'5 and 6'1) I am size 22! Just my opinion, this isn't based on any published fact!
-
No, it's not unless your real short. I'm 5-3 and use to wear a size 12, it was'nt to bad.
-
no, of course it isn't unless you are only 4 inches tall. Size 18/20 is fat. Take a look in the mirror and you'll see that size 12 is nowhere near fat.
-
No no no no no no no!

I am a size 12 and 5ft 5in tall and I feel very fat. People tell me I have an issue and don't see myself properly so I would just like to know one way or the other.
-
No it's not fat. The average american woman is a size 12!
-
No, you're definatly not fat. I am a size 12/14 becuase I had big boobs and the only person who tells me I am fat is my mother. But she is an anorexic personal trainer so I try not to let her get to me. I know plenty of size 12 girls and they look perfect, so try not to let the size 0's girls get to you :)

According to popular culture and the media, size 4 is morbidly huge. American women's body image is all out of whack. Women feel like the instant they exceed 96 pounds that they are blobbish freaks. That is wrong. Now, size 12 may be a little chunky if you're a midget, but if you're about my height then size 12 would be absurdly thin. Don't worry about the numbers. If your in good health (decent sodium, cholesterol, sugar, etcetera) then don't worry about it! Besides, other people can either accept you as you are or prove that they are too shallow for their opinions to actually be meaningful; anybody who is that uptight is nobody I would take seriously.

-

Only if you're Tinkerbelle or the Mayor of Munchkinland.

I'm 5'3 and ware a size 12 sometimes 14....I feel fat most of the time...But then again even if I was a size 4 I would still see myself as fat so, it all depends on how you look at it...But no in reality a size 12 is normal!
-
No :)

"Size 12" doesn't tell us much about your height and build. There are some very well-built healthy size 12s out there, and some flabby size 6s. It's all about fat, muscle, and bone ratios, and how you carry what ya got! If size 12 is a healthy size for your height and build, then it's perfect... don't let numbers get to you.
-
NOT AT ALL I apparently am not even a size lol I wear zeros that come in so many sizes that when I get them (if ordered) could fit my whole family inside and others that are too small. I think instead of looking at what size you are (since it varies by brand anyway) you should go by how you feel. I think I know approximately your size and I would KILL for that. I like the healthy look and a look that doesn't scream "I FOLLOW THE MEDIA HERD" I bet you are perfect!!!
-
If course it isn't. And don't compare Size 12 to a Size 0 or smaller unless you want to have the body of a 12 year old child.
-
Size 12 is not fat at all, if you are even of average height. Since you're 5'6", if you're talking about your own size being 12, you aren't fat. If there are those that would call you "curvy" anyway, keep in mind that there's a lot of guys out here that like "curvy" a lot (like me, for instance).
-
im a size 12 and dont feel happy about my weight but when i see other people that are size twelve they look great.you should be happy about your weight.size twelve is fine its not fat.
-
No, size 12 is not fat. Of course, it's not the "stick thin" image women in the USA tend to strive for these days, but it's better. More than likely you have nice sized breasts, a round butt, a little bit of meat in the middle but not too much. Most men like a little to grab on too. If you are in high school, most guys go for the "skinny" girls. But once you grow up and get out into the real world.. you'll notice things turn around in your favor.

Noo! It's Definately not fat! I was just looking on a different website and they were all saying a size 14 was fat,, but i am a size 42, so that made me sad, but when I talk to my mum she says they are too small and not proper sizes because the slim models are too small and they look ridiculous, like Victoria Beckham. Don't Let people get you down, ignore them because if they are laughing at you because they think your fat, they are just jelious because they are not as perfectly figured xx
