Carliz, size 12 is size! The average woman in the UK is a 16 so that's normal (remember the M&S ad from a few years ago with a woman on top of a hill in Somerset shouting "I'm NORMAL" to the world). Reading PMK's book has certainly helped me to see myself as I really am and I now feel happier with my size than when I was a 10/12 and constantly struggling to stay that way.

Try picking one part of your body to start with and look at in the mirror and say to yourself "yes, my .... looks pretty darn good". If you tell yourself that you look good often enough you will feel it too. Everytime you have a negative thought about your size give yourself a good mental slap!

Hope this helps.
