well i say im fat and people say im skinny and yet i so dont do that for the complements because im just unhappy with my body like me a lot of girls are self concious.



true that.

here in hawai'i there are many overweight girls, and they know it.
at least 30% of the girls in my school are overweight because of the
cultural foods because here, our races are so diverse and we have so many
kinds of food that we are told is "healthy" but it really isn't.
when i was in 5th grade i used to be really chunky.
i lied about my weight i said i was like 15 pounds lighter than i was
just to make it like i was like the other girls. it really hurt though
lying about my weight to make others think i was something i wasn't.
i learned my lesson, and i don't try to mislead or impress people
to make them think were all like each other.
i hope that made sense. ha

i have a friend just like that. im a little chubby, and she has the PERFECT body.. like... PERFECT. and she thinks she's fat.

i guess it's just perception. people think about you differently than you think about yourself.

i feel ya.

i know im sort of skinny.. but, it always seems that in order to measure up to all my friends who are fairly skinny.. i gotta keep up with them..and that's the only way i feel like im pretty. :/.

and no, i do not say im fat for compliments. its simply just my vague perception of myself. no one else can see what i see about myself, but me.

i would like to lose a couple of pounds. i'mnot saying i'm fat. i'm 5ft2 and weigh 92-93lbs. i want to be 90lbs. so only 2 pounds. *shrugs* it's not that big of a deal. i go walking like every day. for like 1 or 2 hours.

I think it's alright to say that you want to lose weight, because majority of people do.. but excessive "i am fat" when you really aren't and comments like that gets rather annoying, and most people get tired of hearing it.

Honestly though, if someone has the nerve to call themselves fat, then instead of giving them compliments about how they really aren't and how beautiful they really are, then why not just say "then do something about it".. i mean.. if you don't like how you look, work harder to look how you want. as long as its in a healthy way.. i know from experiance =/ one of my best friends recently was put into the hospital as an in-patient for anorexia. she just wanted to get skinny and everytime we told her she looked so good and she was losing so much weight it just motivated her more to lose more weight. its horrible seeing what people do to themselves. i dont think i'll ever be upset with my average body ever again after seeing other patients there.

oh. btw. i think i heard my dad talking to his friend the other night about how parts of europe doesnt want skinny girls anymore because they are "too skinny" and some designed did a line of clothes for a 200 something pound woman and made her BEAUTIFUL. that kinda makes me happy.

i've heard a ton of people who are of average weight complain out loud, "i'm fat" or "i want to lose weight". to be honest, being skinny isn't like great or anything. sometimes it's really hard to find clothes that'll fit just right, and also you just don't look great in a strapless dress because your collar/shoulder bones can protrude, plus your arms are like, stick thin.

i'd rather be average weight. guys prefer average weight girls to skinny ones, i think.

^^ Hekk yes! Food is a problem for me too. I'm like 5'2 (I know I'm short; asian, 13 years old...) and like 115-120. Problem for an asian. But yeah, I agree. Girls should feel more secure about themselves, including me.

eek, i hate when people put pics of them, wherever it may be, like myspace or whatever, and they're just like 'i'm fat.' you aren't fat, because if you really thought you are you wouldn't be putting those pictures there. eh, jmo. sorry had to get that out lol i had that in me for a while.

There are many ways you can be honest with an overweight friend without being mean. If they call themselves fat, tell them that they should do something about it if they feel that way. This way, you aren't openly saying, "Yep... you're fat!"

I feel this way most of the time about myself, and only this past year have I taken the inniciative and done something about it. I used to be INCREDIBLY self-concious, but I've come such a long way! I've lost some weight and am getting a personal trainer this week to give me some motivation!

There is always something you aren't going to like about your body. I don't believe anyone is fully, 100% comfortable in their own skin... but you learn to accept your flaws. Flaunt it while you have it, girl! :D

I do this tp piss off my boyfriend sometimes.. I know I'm not fat and he knows im not fat and some people on here that have seen my boney ass in pictures of the past know that I am not fat eather.. He getsssss so Pissed off. I haven't said anything about the way I look for a long time. Maybe its because I don't really care. If people don't like the way I look, fine, f**k them.. I don't need'em.

Hows that for a post.
