Well Happy New Year everyone – hope you’ve all had a great break and are not feeling too depressed if you’re back at work.

Some good news to start the New Year – according to new research, curvy girls of a dress size 14 rate their happiness levels higher than ladies of any other dress size, and the second happiest are size 12 ladies.

A spokeswoman for Special K, who conducted the poll with 3,000 women, said:

“It’s great to discover that being a size zero doesn’t necessarily bring you happiness.

“Our research shows that the curvier size 14 woman is much more comfortable with their shape and has a happier outlook on life.”

So if you’ve made new year’s resolutions to get super skinny, remember, it’s not the key to happiness - curvy girls have more fun!
