This shot in Bridget Jones did me so much damage as a teen. I think about it a lot now, how they chose that as a weight that she would find unbearable that was supposed to be commentably overweight.
I was already insecure and a teenager, and I really remember this going into my brain as an iron clad message: 9.5stone is laughably heavy and would be a huge problem that people would comment on.
Funny how things like that shape your world view. Even now, at 33 and probs closer to 11st this arbitrary shot choice from an old film pops into my head as something to aim for.
