Wow I really dont want to hear that

I think everyone should stop worrying so damn much about what other people have going on in their heads. Guess what? People care way more about how they feel about themselves than how their words will make you feel... and really, nobody can make you feel anything without your consent. So, stop letting people get in your head about your size, because your body image issues are not their job to manage.

Sorry but 5'2 and 130 (TO ME) is not fat.

By any means. And if you are usually 115 that would put a LITTLE over weight.

I wouldnt go to the extreme to say FAT.

Again thats just me.

And I know women have issues with their bodies. But again i was trying to say that the statement in general.

I am not attacking women and their self image.

I hate woman and their "self-images" of themselves, when they tend to say "Oh im FAT" or "I'm the HOTTEST thing thats EVER walked on this planet". I believe that everyone, including men, are beautiful even if their size 32 or size 0. So what we may have flaws or we may have the best body out there, but thats what makes us unique.

What pisses me off the MOST is that there are woman saying "Oh im fat" "Im not beautiful enough" "Im too skinny" and just sit on their *kitten* and Don't do anything about it to change anything, weather that be toning up, losing weight, gaining weight, plastic sugery, or FINDING PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY APPICIATE WHO THEY ARE NOT FOR THEIR BODY, or WHATEVER.

I realize people have self image problems, and struggle with it for years. However once you get over it and realize youre beautiful no matter what, and start to love yourself for your flaws then you can learn self acceptance.

TL:DR - Love yourself NO MATTER what. And if you don't... then change something. Othewise quit *****ing.

I am 148lbs and I think I am over weight because for my height at 5'2 I am... and I call myself fat and chubby all the time but that is because most of my weight is in my stomach and thighs so nothing fits right... You have every right to kind of be annoyed if you are bigger but you have to understand everyone is different and some people weren't born or grew up heavy and became heavy and mentally it is hard for them... I know this personally because I use to be 105 and gained a ton of weight with my kids... for me anyways and Now it is unsettling and really bothers me how overweight I feel personally....

I read in one of Geneen Roth's books (I forget which one), that women bond over trashing their bodies. I honestly think it's true. It just makes me roll my eyes when someone smaller than me complains about being "fat." Just be happy you have a healthy, fully functioning body. Easier said than done, I know. :flowerforyou:

I get that people see their flaws. I do too. I see my flaws all the time and judge myself for them.

But if I was to weigh 120lbs and was sitting next to a girl who was clearly over weight I would think to have the restraint to refrain from calling myself FAT in random converstation.

If this was a friend I would of course be supportive. But I also find it rude.

You are assuming they are somehow complaining to take a stab at you? I wonder if the same girl goes home and chokes up every meal....you really need to not let something like that annoy you. It's not fair and the other person doesn't have to restrain any thoughts or comments to make sure you don't get offended.

I am not assuming that at all.

I am saying its frustrating. And I dont think they are stabbing at me. But CLEARLY I weigh 224lbs and they weigh more than my left foot. So why cant they save those comments until they are around someone who is their friend?? Or someone who maybe can understand where they are coming from??

I understand what you are saying but my point is that if someone says things like that regardless of their surrounding audience, maybe they're suffering from body dysmorphic disorder..which means they don't even notice what your weight is...they can only focus on their own.

Most people probably weigh more than your left foot. Just sayin.

Confidence no matter how you look always works better than lack of confidence no matter how you look. That said, I'd have a lot more confidence if I saw this in the mirror every day! She looks fantastic.

I used to think I was fat when I was younger. 5'6" 125-130 lbs and I thought I was fat. I didn't go around telling people though, because it was something that I was actually insecure about at the time.

Looking back now, I think I was crazy! but you never know how those people really feel.

I've noticed most people who say that in a "woe is me" kind of way are normally just fishing for compliments. So don't give it to them by saying "Oh no you're not fat!"... tell them "I thought you put on some weight".

Agreed!

My response to ANYONE who makes negative comments regarding their weight, body or heck, mental state is "So, whatcha gonna do about it?". It's not my job to own their comments.

3 this!!

Totally fishing for compliments, in my opinion.

My latest pet peeve is seeing celebrities who are a bit heavy say they are some ridiculously tiny size, when I know I am smaller than them, and am in a MUCH bigger size. Puh-LEEZE!

This! I have so thought the same thing about celebrities! I'm always like there is no way you are in that size. Unless they have different sizes in Hollywood.

Lots of people struggle with body image. Just because you find someone thin, doesn't mean they find themselves to be skinny. Most of the people who say this AREN'T fishing for compliments, just saying.
