- Contexto
- I left boarding school at 17, a size 12-14 on top (I have big tits) and a 10 below. I’m 5ft 10in, so that seemed about right. At 18, I went to university, and basically lived on pasta for three years. Oh, and chips. And pitta bread and hummus. And, of course, there was alcohol — rivers of it. I left university a size 14-16 on top and a 12 below. I was well upholstered, more curvaceous than was fashionable, but I looked pretty good, in a 1950s kind of way. I certainly had no issues with my weight. Indeed, I didn’t own a bathroom scale until the summer of 2005
