    "Do these jeans make me look fat"

    LoL
    I think every guy at least has had hard time coming up with an answer to this.
    "Clothes don't make you look fat" had someone go up like oil thrown into flames..

    I hate this kind of "fat talk" and the fact that people often don't seem to WANT to do anything for their health. Just live in self deception and hear others enforce it. Then they get mad at you if you fail to conform to this "norm" for whatever reason.. Usually just because it come so out of the blue!

    @OP
    I feel ya! 100%

    I guess its kind of like asking "do these jeans make my butt look big?" NO... its your butt that makes the jeans look big!. Yes I am over weight(200+ at 5ft 1in)and I dont know I guess when I ask that question I am really hoping it isnt true maybe? i dont know. We know were "fat" we just want to know others see it maybe. Human nature is to seek approval from others.

    If someone were on fire, how would you bring up the subject. "Excuse me, I noticed that you have flames on you. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that but if you are not happy with these flames can I suggest that you drop on the ground and roll. Flames or not, you are still a beautiful person and I accept you for who you are."

    Being nice can kill.

    TRUE that. I teach college students, and sometimes I have to help them see the hard truths. Usually it's shocking to them. BUT it's easier for someone outside the situation to see clearly! :-)

    And also - for the LONGEST time I was in denial about my weight (I mean, I knew what size I was wearing, and what the scale said, but I thought I could hide my fat with clothing.....) It took a lot of unflattering pics for me to finally realize, that those weren't just pictures that made me look fat, I was actually fat!
    It's funny now to look back on it. I mean, really? I didn't think others knew I was fat? How silly of me!
