get em Bill................i agree with you!!Ok, then I suppose it's compketly acceptable to walk around the homeless shelter complaining my 2,000 square foot house is just too small? How about a soup kitchen ranting about how starved I am since I skipped breakfast? It's an implied insult. Personally, I would NEVER complain about how damn fat I am to or around someone larger because obviously it would be insulting.
That's not the same, that's just petty & wouldn't happen!
You never know, the person could have body dismorphia, she could genuinely feel terrible about her appearance & think she's fat.
If she wants to complain about being fat, then damn well let her! It's not YOUR problem.
I see, so you can complain about this, the skinny girl can complain about being fat, but the heavier person who has to hear about it can't complain about anything?

Listen: I'm 111lbs and you have absolutely no right to judge how I feel about MYSELF. The fact that I think I'M fat doesn't reflect on how I feel about anyone else.0
-
Well. I think it's kind of rude for your friend to be doing that. She should pay attention to the people around her before she starts complaining like that.
But at the same time, she has her own targets and your weight and body have nothing to do with that.0 -

Who said bigger people can't complain?
You see, this is why I quoted everything. Everyone who is complaining about the complaint is basically saying don't complain.0 -

Don't you dare call me a hypocrite when I never said that!
No matter your size, you can complain about it all you want, it's nothing to do with anyone else!
If you don't want to hear it, then change the topic of conversation or don't have them as your friend.0 -

wasn't that how the thread started?0 -
There is an extremely thin girl at my work that was loudly talking about how she ate too many calories for lunch and all she had for lunch was carrots. That annoys me.
If a "skinny" person complains that they are fat, it doesn't have anything to do with you. I am a recovering anorexic and I used to see myself as fat even when I was at an unhealthy weight. I would see other people, obviously larger than me, and think they were thin or just fine. I am not saying that every skinny person that complains about being fat has an eating disorder, just that it has nothing to do with your own physical appearess or fitness.0 -
Basic respect, politeness and compassion for others.0

Why compare yourself?? Just don't. We all have our own battles to fight. No one's battle taken out of context makes as much sense... think about it. You are where you are, she is where she is. Comparisons get you no where fast. Worry about reaching your own goals.0

I hate it when I come to the forum boards and it's full of people complaining about meaningless banter.
I think I love you♥

Listen people. Some skinny people say they are fat because they are insecure and fishing for compliments. Some skinny people say they are fat because they have a distorted view of their bodies and truly think they are fat. Keep in mind that no matter what size someone is - they likely have SOMETHING about their body that they hate. Something that they wish they could change. Just because someone is skinny doesn't mean all the negative feelings they have about themselves simply vanish. We are our own worst critic and we see our flaws whether we weigh 200lbs or 100lbs.
Also, I wish people would STOP saying "If she thinks she is fat, what must she think about me?" - honestly? She probably doesn't think about you or your weight at all. She is focused on her own body and likely doesn't even notice you or your size. To me, the people who are worried about it are insecure themselves. She thinks she's fat and she's not (well, to YOU maybe she's not!) what must she think of me, if I AM fat?
She doesn't think about it. She's worried about HER and HER weight!0 -
Get over yourself. Fat people aren't the only people allowed to feel insecure and want to better their bodies. This site is so full of people talking **** about skinny/thin people. People can't talk **** about fat people, but skinny/thin people are fair game? Ridiculous.

Wasn't the person that started the thread complaining about the complaining as well? lol Every single person here is saying don't complain to each other.0 -
My boyfriends sister was complaining one day because she was 105 instead of 98. I told her not to worry about it cuz our weight fluctuates daily. I felt bad for her cuz she felt bad about herself. I tried to tell her not to worry so much, that she still looks fine.
Honestly we all have insecurities as some people have said... I can't get mad at anyone who thinks bad of themselves, no matter if they are skinny and think they are fat. That can lead to an eating disorder and bad habits too. Feel some empathy instead. They may not get the same ridicule as overweight people but they are still having the same inner struggle as you.0 -
I understand what you mean... it's not that they aren't allowed their own feelings about their body image. My fiance tells me every single day that I am beautiful and he would love me regardless of my size, but then makes comments about his own weight or about people on tv that make me doubt what he really thinks. If the girl on tv who's a size 16 is fat, then what is he really thinking about me when I'm a size 24?0

This thread had to be some kind of bait.0

You'd probably still complain if she kept going on about how skinny she was aswell.
You just cannot win with some people.0 -

I'm not very overweight. I never complain that I'm fat around bigger women. It is rude.0

At one time I was one of those complaining, skinny girls. Wish I still were.0

You don't call this a complaint?If she wants to complain about being fat, then damn well let her! It's not YOUR problem.
Curious. When you decided to put YOUR in caps, what sentiment were you trying to convey?0 -
Everyone has their own body issues. Let it go.0

It's not a complaint, it's a word of advice :]0 -
What really annoys me is when i get called skinny and the next thing that follows is "why do you want to lose weight". Ugh if I had a pound for every time i heard that (of money that is!). As a person earlier on said, just because some of us are not obese, or even nearly, does not mean we don't have the same right to improve ourselves.
How do you know that the person you just called "skinny", isn't actually at the end of a LONG battle with weight themselves?? You should look to them for inspiration not condemn them.0 -
Wow!
Reading this thread made me feel anxious...anxious makes my throat close, food makes it open up when I swallow....full stomach makes me feel relaxed....relaxed makes me sleepy...sleepy makes me sleep....sleep makes time go by faster, time going by faster makes me relieved....carbs feed on carbs...carbs are addicted to carbs... more carbs feed on more carbs on more carbs...sleep carbs sleep carbs sleep carbs
STOP THE CYCLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and let me OFF!!!!!! I'm angry.
What does anger make me feel? ashamed? nervous? scared? anxious? Oh no not that again....
I'm getting on my treadmill ... I'm gonna beat the crap out of it. LOL
Somebody once told me I could actually turn anger into energy. I wonder if that is true?0 -
I see both sides of the story.
"Skinny" people may have their own insecurities. And my mother, a post gastric-bypass patient lost 180lbs and now is 5'6 and weighs 102lbs - that's dangerously low but because of her being overweight all her life she still sees herself as huge. I am 5'6 and I weigh 174, I don't look at my mom and be like "shut up you skinny b**** I am fatter than you!" I support her and tell her she's beautiful and if anything needs to gain weight. However, the fact that my mom lost the same weight as I am + 6lbs makes me wonder how she can see herself that way, but either way I know she's self conscious sometimes, so instead of turning this conversation around and making it about me, I try to make her feel better.
So why don't you focus on your friend instead of YOUR insecurities? Just a thought guys?0 -
I actually feel sorry for the women who think it's rude to complain about their own body issues around larger ladies.
It isn't rude, it really isn't, if you want to express your feelings concerning your own body then do it, no matter your size you are more than entitled to have body issues & you are more than entitled to feel the way you do!
Why should it only be larger people who are allowed to complain about their bodies?!0 -
I'm not very overweight. I never complain that I'm fat around bigger women. It is rude.
This. I think your personal problems and such should stay just that, and I find it socially inappropriate to do this. Such a touchy area to discuss in the forums.0
