What is vanity sizing? Over the past couple of decades women's sizing has changed. For example if you used to wear a size 10 and you are the same weight and size but now when you are shopping for new slacks suddenly a size 10 is way too big!!!! Manufacturers realize of course that women would rather say they are a size 5 than 10, so they are sizing clothing differently to supposedly make women feel better. For women or teens who has a low self-esteem or distorted body image this maybe a trigger for increased obsessive thoughts about their weight and size. Striving to be that size 0! How can anyone be a "size 0"? If you think about what it means 0 means nothing....a size nothing??
Seek help if you notice you are obsessing about your weight or you have a daughter you are concerned about.
