on body shape, height, weight and age

I used to have a 32-25-36 measurements. I know a 32 bust size is considered big…only for pygmies :biggrin:.

Today’s topic at Girls Talk is a bit controversial :haha: . Do I really need to divulge my vital statistics for the world to see? . Well, I think there’s no harm in it. It’s just that hubby is suggesting that lessening carbohydrates in my diet will be good for me (indirectly, he wants to see me back in my old sexy shape :sheepish: ).

Before I could tell you about my vital statistics and present weight, I run first to the mall to buy a measuring tape and check my weight on the weight scaling machine to get the exact weight . I know that the pregnancy I had a year ago and the aging process has an inevitable impact on my body shape.  My hormone levels  affect the fat distribution on my body and concentrations of estrogen  influences where my body fat is stored.

To find my bust measurement I place the tape measure around the fullest part of  my chest, under my arms. I make sure that the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. The length indicated on the tape measure is my bust measurement. To get more accurate measurements, I am in my bra and underwear. Do I need to be naked to get the exact measurement ?

Bust is 34.

To find my waist measurement I wrap the tape measure around my natural waistline. I keep the tape comfortably loose. The length indicated on the tape measure is my waist measurement.

Guess what? It’s 28!

To get my hip measurement I wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of  my body between my waist and my  knees. This is approximately 8 inches below my waist. I make sure that the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. The length indicated on the tape measure is my hip measurement.

and it’s….37!

Oh my, I’m already 34-28-37 officially today! I weigh 48 kilogram and my friend said that it’s still an ideal weight for a petite lady like me whose 63 inches tall (about 5 feet and 1 1/2 inches). That’s quite a relief!

I hope my boldness in revealing my vital statistics, weight and height will please my Marce Niko. Oh before I forget, don’t forget to greet me on April 25 for my 29th birthday .

Tip for the day:

The female body occurs in a range of shapes. The female figure is typically narrower at the waist than at the bust and hips, and usually has one of four basic shapes: banana, pear, apple, or hourglass.

It’s up to you to decide what body shape do I belong :tongue: .
