This question makes no sense.

What size you wear does not depend upon whether people say you are fat or thin. It depends upon what the measuring tape says. The size standards of different lines of clothing also varies.

You need to try them on.

I would think that the people who said anything about my weight needed something more important to think about.

The scale and the doctor are the only people who need to discuss your weight with you.

Rather than accepting themselves as they are, many women worry excessively about their weight. This can lead to anorexia or bulimia.
