Which is annoying as hell, because I do exist and I would like to be able to buy clothes. Also, I used to regularly fit in and buy size 2s and 4s and I haven't dieted or lost a ton of weight since then or anything. WTF happened to clothing sizes?

A woman posted a story on my Facebook page today about her 11-year-old daughter, who was recently a size zero, finally fitting into a larger size. She said something to her mother like, "I'm not a nothing anymore!" #TrueStory Interesting.

Zero is.. nothing. Aiming for zero, is aiming for nothing. I would be happy just to size up. Start at 1, or 8 or whatever random size you want. Just start with something. FWIW I live in Australia, and we don't have a size 0. I have always found the presence of a “size 0″ to be very disturbing. Zero is.. nothing. Aiming for zero, is aiming for nothing.

I figure that anyone in Hollywood has too many friends who wear 0 and 00 sizes to be insulting the women themselves. But that was just my guess.

I'm a little confused about the "Zero is not a size" thing, because it is a size. "Zero is not the only size" makes more sense to me. But what do I know? I'm glad to hear anyone with any public influence push back against the incessant diet culture. I’m with Luxe in the interpretation of “some people look better thin and some don’t”.

And meh on "Zero Is Not A Size;” it just smacks of the real women thing. :-/ With this: “Some people look better thin and some don’t” I think she meant more like, you look good at whatever size you’re meant to be. ie: if a naturally chubby chick starved herself to get thing, then she’d look gaunt and unhealthy.
