I'm a size 8. Though I'm not one to make a big issue out of something like this, I can see where the offensees (is that a word?) are coming from. My mother is a size 4, and if she's been really strict about exercising and with what she eats she's gotten down to a 2. And yet she's always complaining about how she needs to lose weight. In her case I think it's more mid-life crisis than anything, and she's pretending to be in high school again in a sense. That and she's had three kids, and it's her skin that looks like "fat" because it's gotten so loose and flabby in places. My sister is a 6, and both she and I get really annoyed when our mom complains about how she's sooooo fat. I'm like twice her size (if dress sizes were literal, anyway). So if she thinks she's fat, I must be morbidly obese. Does she see me as being as big as Daphne is after this curse? That's mortifying to think that my mother sees me as that big and unhealthy. So yeah, I can see why people are offended over this. I think it would have gone over much better if the show/movie simply never gave specific sizes.
