    What if I'm a fat girl trapped inside a skinny/fit girl's body? Am I allowed to have fat people problems then?

    The brain doesn't always match up with the body. I look in the mirror and don't recognize the reflection as me yet. It's not all cut and dry.

    Get over your insecure self.

  • After two years of being heavy and wearing yoga pants, i was told that a coworker recieved a complaint about my new body in yoga pants. So now that im not heavy i dont have a right to be hurt that someone would even talk about my wardrobe? And i dont have a right to need understanding from a community that has experience with this or may be more aware of that type of ridicule?

    As a heavy individual, I wore yoga pants every day and would ask people if i was too heavy to wear them because i would hate the thought that someone would look at me and think "god, she should NOT be wearing those pants" and was VERY insecure about it. I am wearing the very same yoga pants, and now that im thinner people are supposedly saying that comment OUT LOUD... I think all my hard work has given me the right to be hurt and complain on my own mfp thread.

    Back off Sister.... I saw him first.

    :sad: :drinker:

    ETA: If he's in to running, a sloth and a mouse potato might not be his ideal partners! :laugh:

    So I've learned in this thread, that even people who are in wonderful shape still have self esteem issues, and even if you're not in the greatest shape and working towards you don't have the market cornered on insecurities

    Lol. I'm sure you'd be a big help, but I think I'm going to annoy TheFatFox with my skinny/fat girl issues when they arise. :wink:

    For instance: one guy on here, who is really fit, 6 pack and all, is asking if he should run shirtless or not.

    I'm fat I would never think of running shirtless.

    So, why make fat people feel bad when you question your six pack body to go on a shirtless run?
    I think you might be taking things a little personally, most people aren't thinking about other people's bodies when they comment on their own.

    Like, I don't think my body is exactly where I want it to be yet, but in no way does that mean I'm trying to put down people who might be bigger than I am. If I was debating on wearing a sports bra only to work out in, I wouldn't intend to make people anyone else feel uncomfortable about their own body...it's just not related!

    Ya know what???

    When I was 'bigger', when thinner people complained, sometimes I would say, see me when you are xxx pounds! I didn't always get it. However, now that I've lost a bunch of weight, I TOTALLY get it! It doesn't matter the size or shape of the individual, nearly everyone has an insecurity. I have about 20 pounds to go but I still feel like the 'fat' girl I was 115 pounds ago. As many others have stated, the mind takes a while to catch up to the body. I was speaking with one of my friends not too long ago and she said we may never mentally get there!

    So maybe, just maybe, we all need to learn to be more empathetic to others and their insecurities.

    Ummm.... Mr Six Pack.... I didn't see a response regarding if you're single... :love: :flowerforyou:

    Something to consider. Peoples insecurities are their own.
    I'm sure Mr. Six pack meant no disrespect.

    Just because you think Mr. six pack is in great shape and could get away with running shirtless, doesn't mean Mr. six pack sees it that way.

    Hi. I'm Mr. Six pack from the other thread you are talking about. Until the last couple of years I have always been in the extremely overweight/obese category. I apologize for making you feel bad or what you would consider fat shaming. This was nowhere close to the purpose of the thread. My body is relatively new to me and I'm still trying to find my bearings with it after all the hard work I put in. Until recently I was shy to even take my shirt off at the beach or a pool. This is all new to me and I thought my question was valid as to what is acceptable and not douchy to do. You will have to excuse me while I learn.

    +1 for answering him back in such an awesome way!
  • I used to be fat...sometimes it takes awhile for perceptions of yourself to change. Some days I feel fit and awesome...other days I feel like my old fat self and that's what I see in the mirror...so some fit and "skinny" people still do have fat people problems.

    This pretty much sums it up for me, too.

    Honestly OP what you should do instead of complaining about so called fat people problems, is send Mr. Six Pack a friend request and see what's he's doing to become and stay Mr. Sixpack I find in life that if you surround yourself around successful people you will find yourself being successful.

    I have issues, I know.

    The example I gave was one issue.

    I'm going to go talk to my shrink now.

    I realize that these days that we can't rant. So I should go talk to the shrink rather than publicly stating my opinion.


    Oh no, do not make this an everyone ganged up on my post. You personally called someone out and now you want to feel wronged? You were in the wrong assuming that other people don't have issues with their bodies regardless of how YOU think they look. Next time make a general statement not calling anyone out in particular it's rude!!

    I've gone from over 400 pounds down to 190. Been at 185 to 190 for over a year now. I still have to tell myself that I can fit into smaller clothes, sit in those plastic lawn chairs or no longer worry about the things I couldn't do because of my weight. I have a feeling that since I have been overweight for 49 years it might just take another 49 before I no longer feel like I have fat people problems. The weightloss group of people on Facebook that have also lost significant weight feel the same way.

    I love skinny girls who complain about wearing the next size up. "Ugh! I'm so fat, I have to get a size six jeans instead of a size four." If I could squeeze into a size six, I'd celebrate with half a cake, because I have actual fat person problems- like celebrating a loss with food.

    I can wear a size 6 jeans, if I cut off each leg and use as arm warmers
  • Never posted here before but I am "thin" but was a fat kid for a several years. Some of us never really get past the body image
    issues or at least I never have. That said I never like to see any man running shirtless because I always wonder WHY do that?

    It might be better. That way your shrink can help you deal with your issues and help you realize and stop projecting those issues on other people. :flowerforyou: Best of luck in getting healthy physically and mentally!

    You can rant. You just need to realize that everyone else can, too, and their rants might be about your rants.

    I'm the stereotypical "size six complaining that the size fours don't fit" girl. And you know why? Because no matter who you are, what you look like, how big or small you are, you want to achieve your goals, even if those goals seem stupid to others, and when you don't, you're disappointed.

    That holds true for EVERYONE.

    He may be a bit afraid to answer, since he's being pursued by a mouse potato, and a sloth who is apparently unsure about his sexual orientation....

    Really?? So, because I'm here to get back down to a 2-4 because I'm now a size 6 makes my issues any less relevant than yours? Let's try being supportive of everyone, no matter what their size.

    Just because you can see someone's size does not mean that you can see the size of their battles. Grace and courage know no size.

    So Mr Six Pack is a measured, calm, rational man with self-awareness, bags of humility AND a six pack? Is that even possible? :love:

    Yep, is this real life?
