well many people consider themselves fat eventhough they are not. Like a girl in my school. She keeps telling herself she is fat and that she needs to lose wait while everyone is telling her she is alrite. IF she is fat then I must be obese because she is like a stick. Does anyone know of anyone who acts like that. What would you consider yourself? obese, normal, skinny?

We have a friend of the family that is about 5'8 and weighs 130 pounds tops and believes she is fat. It is mostly mental that she believes she is fat and her husband not reassuring her she is not and making rude comments does not help the issue at all. I believe people can become like this from mental abuse from hearing this from others.

I agree, people need to think what impact their comment could have on a person before they go and make a comment about someone. And if you know someone that is struggling for self esteem encourage them in whatever way you can and help them begin to make positive progress in their life.

That is not good. It good really creat discomfort for her. Thats a really weird husband i must say. I think its beacuse people can not withstand comments and jokes that why they start thinking such thinks. I totally agree with you wiseReptiles. Thats why people should not make reduce comments to sensitive people.

I think I'm a little bit fat! I think I eat too much, but my assimilation is not so good. So kind what I eat most turn to fat remain in my body.
I also hate the people who are very thin but always said they are fat and want keep diet. I just want be normal not so skinny and so fat. And I kind hate stand beside people who are very skinny, made me feel bad!

I thinks its beacause of your metabolism. If you have a high metabolism then no matter how much you eat you will stay skinny. But that is not the case a you grow older. As you grow older you easily get fat. thats why children should not worry too much about their weight. DOnt feel like that. Just think of it as them being to skinny. It always works.

I think I would have to tell the truth that I am skinny. My weight is below the normal and average weight. But somehow, I am working hard to gain weight, and thank God I already gained 2kg of body weight. This is still not enough so I still need to work harder to obtain my desired body weight. Those people who are really thin and skinny but keep on telling themselves that they are fat have a problem known as anorexia. This is really fatal and that it needs immediate solution. They have to be aware that they are already skinny and that they need to gain more weight.

No i never think i'm fat. That girl in your school must be have some problem with self esteem so she can't appreciate herself. For me, it's not what we look like that will other people think about us,but what we do in our daily life.

Thats a good spirit. Yes she has some sort of problem I guess. It could lead to several other problems if she doesn eat. Im glad you think like that. Thats how we should all think. It doesnt matter whats on the outside but its whats on the inside that counts. Thanks for the response.

No, I don't think I'm fat.
And this girl seems to have a big problem. I hope she'll stop in time.

Hi, dh1811. No, I don't consider myself to be a fat person. I think that I am medium sized. I am skinny mixed with an average size frame. I would like to lose up to 40lbs. But, I don't look all that big. To someone thicker than me they will think that I am skinny. And to someone that is thinner than me, they will think that I am averaged size. Me, fat?? Nope.

I think I am not very fat but other people say I am. Actually I am happy about how I look now because I was really very thin before. People now say that I already have a double chin, big arms and a round belly. Even though I am happy about me gaining weight, I feel a little bit bad because I have to go on a diet now. (sigh)
